The Beginnings of a Positive Mindset

by Leigh Martinuzzi 

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.” Roy T. Bennett

As Michael Hyatt points out is that we can alter our happiness levels by merely smiling more. There is a direct correlation between smiling and positivity. Smiling produces positive emotions that benefit our well-being. Not to mention the reaction from others we receive when we give them a friendly smile. It can only be a good thing.

Having a positive mindset is like constantly allowing your mind to smile. Frowning does the opposite – it breeds negativity. Both positivity and negativity are contagious.

Is our state of mind a choice? What control do we have over developing a positive mindset? In this episode, I share some ideas and thoughts on the beginnings of creating a positive mindset.
