Generating Positive Emotional Energy To Counter Negativity

Perform Random Acts Of Kindness

Doing random acts of kindness can help you build positive energy when you least expect it. From giving a stranded colleague a ride home, helping an old man cross the street, or buying lunch for a homeless person, the list of the things you can do are endless.

The smile that comes to other people’s faces when you help them will definitely leave you feeling better, and make you forget about your problems, even if it’s just for a while.

Take Care Of Yourself

Take proper care of yourself always. It’s the least you can do for yourself. When you find yourself falling asleep at work, there’s a good chance that you’re not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation not only makes you less productive and efficient, but also puts you in a bad mood too.

So, make sure you give yourself sufficient sleep every night. Some people require the recommended eight hours, while others are fine with six. Determine how many hours of sleep your body needs and stick to the routine.

In addition, make a conscious choice to eat healthy meals such as whole grains, lean meat, lots of water, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.

They’re much better than unhealthy fast foods because they provide you with sustainable energy that you need to get you through your day.

Lastly, don’t forget to exercise regularly and laugh often. These two activities increase your feel-good chemicals (endorphins) and positive energy, and decrease any negative feelings that you may have. Try any of them today, and experience their magic effect first hand.

Overall, life is beautiful when you’re positive about it. Sure, the challenges you undergo along the way can leave you feeling sad and frustrated, but you don’t have to stay down forever.

Choose today, to rise above anything negative that may be pulling you down and stay positive with the above tips. It’s possible, if you’re willing to take the first step.
