Still in the Positive Zone

Although my positive challenge ended a few months ago I am happy to report that I still living with the same positive attitude.

When I finished my last post for the year I will admit that I was a bit nervous about being able to stay positive everyday without having to write about it.  It is always a bit confronting when starting a new and different journey.  But I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised how easy it has been to stay on my positive track, and that was with a few personal confronting challenges thrown in as well.  The challenges I have had to face have helped build my own self esteem and made me realise that not everything that goes wrong with others is my fault and even though sometimes I am in the receiving line of negativity I am now confident enough to deal with it and not fall into the usual pool of self doubt and anxiety.

I know now just how life changing this positive challenge was for me!  When I started out on my quest I was living in a bubble of dark and negative energy and was focussing on anything and everything that I could complain about.  It was a vicious cycle that I just couldn't seem to break and starting the positive challenge was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life!

After I started forcing myself to focus on the positives it was surprising how many good things I overlooked each day and how many opportunities I missed out on!  Any one who knows me will definitely see how much my life has improved since I changed my outlook and attitude.  Not only is my family even closer and happier than before but I am on a solid path to a career that I love, I am healthier and, with the help of my family, I am now losing weight that I couldn't shift for years!  And to top it off, my family is going on the trip of our dreams!  This is something that I could never have imagined would happen in a millions years and now it's here!!

I am so excited to be continuing on this journey!  I encourage everyone to give it a go and see what a difference a little positivity can make.  It has not only completely changed my life for the better but my hubby and kids are more confident and happy as well.
