Positive Thinking Gets a Bad Rap | Clear the Way and Move Forward

Hello! It's Soulaire, and I've been thinking that "Positive Thinking" gets a bad rap; but that's because it's misused. "Positive Thinking" is not pretending the bad thing didn't happen or that you can grow your arm back just by thinking positive. It's a tool to move forward by looking at what got you to this point, and then deciding to have a clean slate and doing something different.

I get to choose where I go from here.

I think people forget that we are a work in progress, and it really does take a lot of work to change negative thoughts to positive thoughts. It's a constant process, but it doesn't mean you have to be perfect! It's just as important to love yourself and if you make a poor choice, look at why and then make a different choice.

If you need to talk it out, call someone and get some coffee, and ask them to just listen. Sometimes you just need to get it off your chest so you can look at why, and do something different. That's how you take positive steps moving forward.

It's a new moment, a new choice, a new year. Focus on the family around you, (even chosen family) and realize you are in the driver's seat of your car.

See you in the new year!
