Positivity


So today I thought I would change it up a bit from my usual posts. As much as I love writing posts about fashion and beauty, those posts can be a bit impersonal. I would love to connect more with my readers so I'm going to start doing more lifestyle posts the first one being positivity.

Positivity is a subject I feel very strongly about and I think its time I share my thoughts(you might want to grab a cuppa were going to be here for a while!). I'm not here to preach to you about how to be happy all the time because trust me I am far from it. I am here however, to tell you how to think in a more positive frame of mind.

Basically the universe is made up of energy, both positive and negative and all of the events that occur in the universe happen as a result of this energy this concept is called the law of attraction (Its sounds crazy I know, please bare with me). Have you ever wondered why good things happen to good people? Hint hint the answer is positive energy. Have you ever wondered why "karma" comes back to those who do bad things? Hint hint the answer is negative energy. If you radiate positive or negative energy you attract positive and negative occurances into your life. To sum it up simply your thoughts become your reality.

When I first thought about this concept I was just as sceptical as you are now believe me. I promise you that as soon as you start to approach a situation with postive energy you will notice a completely different outcome. For example if you do a test and you fully believe you are going to fail, you will fail, but if you fully believe in yourself and your abilities the chances are you will do a lot better on that test.

You might be wondering if I have completely lost it by now but I assure you I am not alone on this! I was inspired to write this post after watching a youtube video about a year ago on positivity by Meghan Hughes from the channel MissMeghanMakeup on youtube. I was at quite the opposite of a positive place in my life at that point and she helped me find the positive in my situation and many others to follow. She recommended a docummentary called "The Secret" on Netflix (It is also a book). After watching that docummentary I can honestly say my life as changed for the better. I understand I am throwing a lot of bold statements at you right now, but if you watch this docummentary and understand the law of attraction you will start to notice it working all around you!

I'm not saying that once you think happy thoughts and only happy thoughts all the time your life will be peachy, it doesnt work like that. What im saying is that once you start to apply the law of attraction to your life you will gradually become more aware of your surroundings and the effect they are having on you.

I recommend setting yourself happiness goals. Start off by smiling more, even if you are having the worst day imaginable if you can manage to smile I guarantee your day will become a lot better. From there you can start setting physical goals. In order to acheive these goals you need to 100% believe you can acheive them, you have to feel the feelings you would feel if you acheived this goal and trust me this goal will materialise for you. In order to apply this concept to your life you have to 100% believe in it, there are no half hearted attempts here people! Think about everything that will happen in that happy moment your striving for and strive for it :)

I'm not telling you that you have to believe me and you could think im completely cracked up but thats ok! I urge you to at least watch Meghans video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3KiQHOhVG4) or watch/read "The secret" on Netflix and form your own opinion on the subject, what do you have to lose? The search for happiness is only a gaining experience and its completely worthwhile. If you have made it this far I am giving you a virtual gold star and I encourage you to leave any feedback you have in the comments below I love hearing peoples opinions on this subject because as you can tell I am very passionate about it!

Thank you for listening to my ramblings and please let me know if you would like to hear more of them?
Love Lisa xo
