14,000 things to be happy about.

Recently I've been reading a lot of inspirational books on positive thinking and confidence tips and the power of the mind as I've been trying to become a more happier person as I think that in turn it'll help me become more productive and, well who doesn't desire to be happy right?

I think there are so many things that I could share with you but I honestly wouldn't know where to start! I guess if I was talk about my on going 'journey' as such, I've realised that I've come far in keeping my opinions to myself when I'm angry about something or frustrated and I feel the need to comment back to someone, instead I take 10 and then just ignore it and literally let it pass me, even if I think the other person is wrong. I don't post anything negative, sarcastic or angry on my social medias (at least I don't think so!) and when i'm down, I try my hardest not to post about it and instead talk to friends instead who I know who truly listen to me and care.

Things that have set me back though are being around negative vibes and a lot of time you really can't help yourself being in that situation. What's difficult is when someone else passes their negativity directly onto you as in turn it leaves you feeling down and angry. This may be at the workplace when its stressful or even at home with family members. I've realised that in these situations its easiest to just sit/stand and not reply and just keep silent and keep your calm.

As well, it's always good to remember the little things in life that make you happy. When I'm having 'one of those days' per se, I flick to a random page of this book and have a read. Often I find myself smiling at the things written that I never before realised made me happy and they bring back good old memories for me for instance 'watching the rain fall' and 'stretching out on the carpet with games and puzzles'. This book really makes me appreciate the little things in life and they really are so important, they're the things that keep you going everyday.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day and that this post can inspire you stay positive.
