Top 10 ways to stay positive

I have experienced so many opportunities to take the path to a negative mental attitude. Every time I am faced with the choice to use PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) or NMA (Negative Mental Attitude) it always becomes apparent which path to follow. The path I am referring to always leads to a positive mental attitude. Using the 10 points below I am able to connect with the positive side of my thinking on a regular basis:

1) Burn essential oils and incense to relax and clear the air
2) Read an inspirational book, poem, or thought daily
3) Surround yourself with positive minded individuals
4) Be physically active for at least 20 minutes everyday
5) Do not sweat the small stuff
6) Daily meditation
7) Take a walk in nature daily (could be something as simple as a walk down a tree lined street)
8) Compliment people as often as possible
9) Smile often (even when you feel angry)
10) Start the day with a saying like "I feel happy, I feel healthy, I feel terrific..."

To help me maintain a positive mental attitude I follow the above 10 points on a daily basis. It is not always easy to maintain a positive state but it takes just as much energy to be in a negative one so you might as well follow the path that feels better. Please feel free to email me the ways you stay in a positive mood on a daily basis. Please email me at michael@pillarsofpositivity.com.
