Staying positive is a vital part of life.
There was a time when I constantly felt down- this led to spending a lot of time sulking and over-eating, and this made me feel even worse!
The key to staying positive and growing is to stay strong and always appreciate the brighter side of things.
How to stay positive
No matter how bad things have got in my life, there has always been a way through it.
As I sit here typing this, I think about all the personal problems, the health issues, struggles with previous partners, financial issues, self-esteem... A million and one things that (still) get me down to this day.
But then I always manage to fight through it because I have things that make it all worth while.
For me personally, I have my kids, my faith, my friends, my dogs, and so many other things to be grateful and happy about. Just thinking about all of them puts a smile on my face.
How to be a positive person and grow personally
Sometimes in life, it can be easy to forget just how much we have.
In this case, I would recommend that you think about how things could be a whole lot worse.
This will hopefully make you feel more energized and motivated to face the challenges of your life.
There was a time when I was faced with losing my house because we had fallen behind on our mortgage payments. With two kids to look after, I was facing the idea of becoming homeless.
I won't lie, the situation got me down.
But then I thought about people who had a worse deal: Like all those people who spend hours on a small boat trying to sail over to this country. These are people so desperate, they'd risk their lives just to be in the country I am in now.
How to grow as a person
I would also recommend that you surround yourself with positive and powerful things.
When I first stated going to church, it gave me an instant lift even before I got into the whole faith aspect of things. It made me realize there's this whole worldwide community that I was a part of.
That no matter what happened in my life, I'd always have God, the church, and religion to fall back on!
