Remaining Positive

“Remaining positive all the time,”

What a wonderful goal that would be.

The negative way gets you nowhere,

Only the positive way is acceptable.

Make that your choice. 

Remaining positive is a challenge!

My main concern, 

Should not be 

How someone else reacts,

But how I react.

Being negative is not acceptable.

It’s no way to treat anyone,

No way to treat the children of God,

Not to mention God.

All must be shown love.

The positive way

Is the only way to treat God.

My ultimate focus

Is on loving God.

There’s no other way.

Think Positive Thoughts

The following poems

In  this section,

Will illustrate different ways

Of reducing anxiety in our lives,

By focusing

On positive thinking.

I am writing these poems

With the assumption,

Positive Thinking

Is the absence of anxiety.

Negative Thinking

Introduces us to anxiety.

If we believe this, we will certainly choose

Positive Thinking.

Sleep Problems and Negative Thinking

Could there be a connection

Between sleep problems and negative thinking?

Problems and negativity often hang out together.

That could be the connection.

Let’s try positive thinking instead.

Unfortunately,

Negativity creates a negative world,

And anxiety enters,

And could make sleep more difficult.

Let’s try positive thinking instead.

Negativity is often accompanied by

Anxiety and depression,

Anger and stress,

Negative thoughts and feelings.

Could one of these be the sleep culprit?

The solution may be simple to understand,

Difficult to apply,

But you can probably solve it

If you want to sleep.

Give it some time.

Make your world beautiful.

Make it wonderful.

That cannot happen without you.

You are the solution.

You have the answer.

You can solve all your problems.

Positive Solution

Thanking God is a Positive Thought

Thank God.

It’s the most wonderful gift,

You can give to God.

What other gift

Could you possibly give

That would exceed--

Thank you.

It’s so positive.

Thank God.

It’s an act of gratitude,

And an act of love.

Nothing could please God more than that.

There’s no more to say to God than

Thank you.

“Avoid Negative Thinking”

This is the thirteenth solution

On our anxiety solution list

We almost all have some negative thoughts.

They tend to create anxiety.

If that’s true,

Then almost everybody has some anxiety.

But the problem is…

Almost everybody denies they have anxiety.

They just haven’t given it the name.

They say “I’m fine” when they’re really not.

Unfortunately

Anxiety tends to worsen.

We need to do something about it now.

That’s why we’re giving you our Anxiety Solutions.

Now is the time to do something about your anxiety.

The anxiety solution list

Can become your anxiety reduction plan.

Use it to make your own plan.

The solution we are writing about now

Has to do with negative thoughts.

Identify those that make you a little bit uneasy,

Or quite anxious.

Watch out for negative thoughts.

They can create havoc in your life.

Substitute positive thoughts for your negative ones.

They’ll make you feel better.

“Avoid Anxiety’s Persons, Places and Things”

This is the eleventh solution

On our anxiety solution list

Run

Keep away from them all

Those negative persons, places and things

We are affected by our environment

Don’t fool yourself

You’re not above the influences that surround you

Don’t hang out with negative people

Or you’ll become negative

Don’t frequent toxic places

Where tension and irritation abound

Where anxiety easily arises

And where negativity is often present

And lastly, avoid the things and activities

That become a source of turmoil

Whether it be alcohol, drugs, gambling

Infidelity or another overindulgence

What else would you expect

From anxiety's negative persons, places and things?

Choose peace

Not anxiety

It’s all about your choices

April is Anxiety Reduction Month

“Think Positive Thoughts”

This is the fourth solution

On our anxiety solution list.

Positive thoughts can take you up.

They can change your world for the better.

Negatives never will.

They will only take you down.

Positive thinking creates positive thoughts.

Negative thinking creates negativity.

It’s called the law of attraction.

Choose what you wish to attract.

What else is good about positive thoughts?

They are pleasant.

They make us feel good

Isn’t that what we want?

Positive thoughts,

They make us happy.

They make our world beautiful,

And us, to boot

Fill your life with positive thoughts,

And there won’t be room for anxiety.

There’s no place in a happy environment

For such negativity.

If you only think positive thoughts,

You’ll never be anxious,

Angry or stressed.

You’ll only have room for happiness.

Positive thinking is the absence of anxiety.

Another Happiness Day

The requirement for being happier involves

Changing  your thinking

Your happiness at this moment

Is the result of your past thinking

In order to be happier now

Change your thinking

Do you want to be happier?

Then change your thinking

Start small

You can’t just go from sad to happy

But you can start small

Very small

Start with a small change in your thinking:

I will think a positive thought

I will say something nice to someone

I will smile at someone

Just a small change

Take the first little step

Tomorrow

We will post a popular blog from 6-9-15

It’s entitled

“One little step”

It’s the one-step approach

Let’s do it!

Caring for Self Day

The year is passing

It was a good year

Why?

Because it is the precursor of next year

Use it as the harbinger of what is to become

Of what you can create

It was a good year

If only you learn from it

Use it to teach you

Perhaps

Of what not to do or be

Learn from it

It was a great year

If only you learn from it

All becomes great

When we learn from it

See it positively

And you will make 2016 beautiful

And you will be beautiful

And from that inner beauty

Will arise the beauty you will create

The beauty that will change your world

It will be a most beautiful world

Created by the beauty within you

Believe in the beauty you will create in

2016
