When Positive Emotions Appear

Posted on July 25, 2012 by russtowne

As darkness recedes when light appears, it has been my experience that negative emotions immediately begin to recede when positive emotions appear.

      I love your reply, Cathy. For some reason it led me to laughing out loud at myself as the thought came to me that since I know it is true and that there are so many wonderful benefits to staying positive in my thoughts, attititude, and actions, then why in the world don’t I stay positive ALL the time?!?!?

      It’s gotta be that slow-learner thing again! (Sigh…)

    But the question is: how do you get positive emotions to appear? I’ve heard about this new generation media player that produces positive emotions! It’s called emoplayer from http://www.emoplayer.com — I have tried it and works so far but it’s only by invite on Twitter.

      You asked: But the question is: how do you get positive emotions to appear?

      Here ar some of the things I do When I want to go from negativity to positivity I:

      Smile (even when I don’t feel like it.)

      Watch a comedy with a happy ending to help put laughter back into my life.

      Read blogs of people whose posts warm my heart.

      Count my blessings.

      Spend time with people I love.

      Read an inspiring or uplifting book.

      Go out in nature and sit and take it all in.

      Stop and take time to breathe deeply and think of things that are going right in my life and world.

      Take a moment to think of all of the miraculous things that are going on in my body every microsecond.

      Read inspriring quotes and affirmations.

      Call a friend.

      Perform a kindness.

      Unclutter a part of my life such as clean off my desk.
