Have you ever known someone, perhaps a friend or relative, who never seems to have a bad day? Have you ever wished you could be as positive as this person? Well, you can. Studies and research have long been associating positive thinking and optimism to good health. While there are many clinical studies and research describing how one can live a happy life, it all boils down to the following five basic tenets.

1. I am, I can, and I will are positive affirmations which you can utilize every day to increase positive thinking. Every morning, look in the mirror and say to yourself: “I am a good person.” “I am a good friend.” “I am…” . Complete the sentence with your own affirmation.

2. If you have a task before you either at home or at work or perhaps you need to lose weight and have found it difficult. Regardless of what the situation is, say to yourself: “I can achieve completion of this task.” “I can go on a diet and lose weight.” “I can be a better friend, wife, husband, daughter, or son.” “I can….”. Complete the sentence with your own affirmation.

3. In order to think positively about future goals, say to yourself: “I will become a success.” “I will think about my life in a more positive manner.” “I will be the person I know I can be.” “I will….”. Complete this sentence with your own affirmation.

4. Empower yourself each day by first writing down positive affirmations and putting them into a bowl. Each morning, before you prepare for the day, take out one affirmation and repeat it over and over throughout the day.

5. Life is not always kind, yet there is much to be grateful for? Recognize these gifts and be thankful for all you have. Consider the alternative; “I am worthless”. I can’t accomplish even the most inconsequential task”. “I will never lose weight.”

Who would want to be around a person who has such negative feelings? It is depressing and doesn’t accomplish anything. It makes everyone around you miserable. Decide today what is most important in your life and use positive words and images to reinforce your belief that you are, you can, and you will.
