Maintaining A Positive Outlook

How to work on maintaining a positive outlook. If you’re a glass-half-empty kinda person, it might be time for a new outlook. A positive one would be to improve health and a happier life.

Maintaining A Positive OutlookLaurie Mintz, Ph.D., author of A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex: “I’m naturally more anxious and pessimistic, so I have to work hard to stay positive. When I’m anxious, I remind myself that worrying about things beyond my control only makes me feel worse. Then I can focus on what I can control, like my own attitude. And when I just need an emotional release, I let myself have a full-force meltdown!”

Stephanie Smith, Psy.D., public education coordinator for the American Psychological Association:”To keep life somewhat lighthearted, I always have one silly, totally selfish goal. My current one – this is embarrassing to admit – is getting John Mayer to respond to one of my tweets! I’m not being a parent, not being a professional, just doing something totally goofy and fun.”

Laura Berman, Ph.D., Parenting Mom Squad member: “The key to optimism is trying not to get overwhelmed. Meditating – something I got into after my mom benefited from it during her second bout of breast cancer – works for me. I do it twice a day to fully reboot my brain. Playing with my kids helps, too – what’s more optimistic than a child’s world? And when all else fails, there’s always chocolate!”

How to Trust God When Everything Seems Impossible #FaithOverFear

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes, these challenges can feel insurmountable. We face situations where the odds are stacked against us, where solutions seem out of reach, and where despair starts to creep in. In these moments, trusting God can feel difficult, yet it is precisely during these times that our faith is most crucial. Here’s how to trust God even when everything seems impossible. 1. Remember God’s Faithfulness in the Past When facing seemingly impossible circumstances, it’s important to remember the times when God has come through for you in the past. Reflect on past situations where God’s guidance, provision, and love were evident in your life.

Living with Purpose: God’s Plan for Our Lives on Earth

God’s purpose for our lives on Earth is beautifully woven throughout the entire Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, His plan for humanity is clear: 1. To Know and Love God The greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. Our primary purpose is to have a personal relationship with Him. 📖 Matthew 22:37-38 – “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” God created us to walk with Him in fellowship, just as He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden before sin entered the world ( Genesis 3:8-9 ). 2. To Glorify God in All We Do Everything we do—our work, relationships, and daily lives—should bring glory to God. 📖 1 Corinthians 10:31 – “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 📖 Isaiah 43:7 – “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.” We are reflections of His love and grace,...
