Hi, its me… still here in lockdown. Anyone else finding it hard to be positive? Right now, the people and places we love seem like a distant memory, and our thoughts can be more negative than positive. I know being mindful of my thoughts has really carried to an overall happier lifestyle, even in the weirdest of times. Along with being mindful of my thoughts, keeping my habits good has been a huge factor in my positivity. Sure, I have a bad day. What i don’t do is allow one bad day to turn into two. Allow yourself to be human, but don’t allow the negativity to become a habit.
Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings. Bad energy attracts bad energy
