When it Doubt, Pink-It Out: How to Stay Positive



Naturally, any day there's ups & downs. At times, it often feels as if there are more downs than ups--but here's a secret, positivity goes a long way.

A few years back, I promised myself to think more positive & up beat opposed to negative & bad vibes--thus far, it has worked.



While trials still mingle with tribulations, I have found it easier to move past negative people &  bad outcomes by remaining positive--focusing on things that make me happy. Mainly, they're small things, but small things lead to big things right?




Here are a few ways I remain positive:


- Exercise. Daily exercise motivates me to rise early & start my day with a jolt of energy. After I'm done, I feel more awake to power through the day.

-Look forward to something. Usually, it's something small, but I always try to keep at least one thing in my mind to look forward to. Now, it's September 28th--the revival of NBC's Will & Grace.

- Fun sayings. Lately, I have been browsing Pinterest & pinning a few #girlboss quotes I find to be up lifting. Like this one saying, "Happiness is an inside job." #bossbabe

-Acceptance. No longer do I succumb to comparing myself with other bloggers, friends, or other's lives. It's just not healthy or worth it to say well she's doing this or they have x number of followers. It's as hard to keep that mind stance all the time, but learning {training your mind to think in a different/positive way} to be happy for other's accomplishments is satisfying in a grown kind-of way.
You know, let light out & light will shine back in-- that type of thing.



-Blogging. Blogging is something I really enjoy--it allows me 100% creative freedom which leads to this flamingo-inspired gingham #ootd. This gingham {low country}top is from Collyn Raye. You know, I love color & gingham--Luckily, Collyn Raye's clothes are just that--youthful, fun, preppy, & happy.

P.S. Hydrangeas make me very happy...I stock up over the summer with photographs to look at all winter long!
