Argumentative Essay On Positivity

2. The next time you're in a negative mood, stop what you're doing. Take a few minutes to assess why you're feeling so negative. Negativity often begins with an insignificant event (like spilling coffee or getting stuck in traffic) and simply gets worse from there. Consciously decide to break out of the cycle by focusing on something positive.

(Myers and Dewall, pg.30). If I wake up and I am thinking to myself that this is going to be a bad day, it affects me and I will usually have a bad day. It has been said that positive thinking will produce a positive outcome. According to Darshan Goswami, “Some long term studies on positive thinking and health have been conducted that confirms positive thinking strengthens the immune system and assists in healing.” (The Power of Positive Thinking) By my own observations, I agree with this statement. When I have gone to work thinking that I do not want to be there and that it will be a bad day, I end up having a bad day. The opposite holds true as well. My emotions can have an influence over my health. When I get too upset about something at work, it will literally make me sick to my stomach and end up giving me a headache. If I dwell on not feeling well it can literally make me feel sick. This is another example of how negative and positive thinking can affect health. This gives way to our body’s neural communications and how they send messages to other

Whoever knows me, they automatically know that I am a very positive and optimistic person. I go to Worland High School in Worland, Wyoming and I am a senior this year. Obviously, that means I have been going to school here for almost four years now. Let me tell you, there are so many positive students here at my high school. At my school, we have awesome negative people ranging from motivational dream crushers, the fantastic attitude and the vibe that they put off, and the excellent way they carry themselves everyday! If you were to ask me, negative and pessimistic people are the best kind of people to be around, they are handfuls of joy!

You feel happy when you are optimistic. This can result in you feeling more energetic, give you brighter eyes, and bring you success and happiness. You also walk with more confidence and have a stronger voice. Also, your positivity can spread to others, however, any negativity can also spread. Some ways to be positive are to not allow what other people say about you get to you. Other ways are to smile more, try to only visualize positive things, use positive words when talking to people, and don’t give up. (Sasson, The Power of Positive Thinking, Paragraphs 1, 14, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27) These are great examples of why you would want to be optimistic and respond to conflict with positivity.

Positivity can turn to darkness in a snap, but darkness to positivity it takes years to master. For some positivity comes naturally, it’s just who they are, I call them Lighters. Lighters shine even in the darkest of times, they have such positive outlook on life, no matter what someone says or does. Lighters are like children they don’t have a file called “everything that can wrong” in their mind. They’re dreamers until life hits them and for some life will hit them harder, faster, or not at all. That’s what I’ve witnessed at

Perhaps, the worst quote on positivity that I have ever heard was from the German scientist, Max Planck: “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” According to this philosophy, we only need to visualize success in order to achieve it. This is just another claim amidst a growing plague of positivity. Today, we witness an overload of positive thinking, in which self-help books, lectures, and workshops claim that happiness begins with a positive outlook. Undoubtedly, the conclusion to this problem is not a shift towards self-hate, but rather a dose of reality, of recognizing the possibility of a negative outcome, and of the acceptance that not everything, all the time, will be perfect. Ultimately, positivity has a negative side.

Work with, up lift, and grow with the people around you to build a better now so that you may delete negative

Thinking positively can be a difficult task, no matter the circumstance. When negativity fills you up like helium in a balloon you should always try to find the light in the darkness. Thinking positively doesn’t make the hard times disappear, it helps you survive negativity and the daily conflicts that challenge you. Looking on the bright side of things increases attentiveness, improves your ability to think, and leads to happier thoughts (Psychology Today). No matter what you are going through, you should always stay optimistic. “Man’s Search for Meaning” and “Dear Miss Breed” are great examples of how having a bright outlook can help you survive conflict.

Staying positive has many health benefits along with helping to resolve conflict. These benefits include, “Increased life span, Lower rates of depression, Lower levels of distress, Greater resistance to the common cold, Better psychological and physical well-being,

“Negative people” doesn’t mean “bad people”, it just means that these people can’t be there for you in the way that’s beneficial. Get rid of people that don’t nurture your spirit. Get rid of people that don’t say positive things to you. Get rid of “energy vampires” that suck your energy dry and don’t give energy back. Stop yelling at your kids, spouse, and co-workers.

A person’s mind can either be their greatest or worst enemy. Society puts these images and expectations out that make people look at and question their own worth. Often times, negative thoughts can pop into our minds and cause feelings of stress, unhappiness, or

Let us flashback to 1994 for a moment. The Internet was new and only in some homes and workplaces. Cellphones were the size of handbags and could only make calls- sometimes. Most people only had one phone line in their homes. People went to the library to research and learn, or they consulted an expert. Most tuned into the radio or local television stations once or twice a day to hear the news, or they read about it in the newspaper or magazines while they drank their morning coffee. Now, flash forward to today. We have everything we had twenty years ago and more, but it is all faster, easier to access, global, and is in most of our hands within one device. Is this better or worse? Well, let me ask you this, "How do you feel, and what was the last thing you read or saw on your phone, tablet, or computer? It was not something positive was it? Our current advances in technology have resulted with a boom of popularity of social media and access to the Internet for daily communication and is resulting in a larger dose, and harder to avoid, spread of intercontinental negativity, and, it is becoming the social norm. Unfortunately, we like it. #sorrynotsorry
