New Year’s Resolutions: Staying Optimistic

stay up!

stay up!

Thought I’d start the first week of the NEW YEAR in the NEW DECADE with a few “Optimistic Evie-isms.”

When I write optimistic thoughts I feel more optimistic in general, so this is for me as much as it is for you.

16 Positive Ways To Start the New Decade

  • Kindness is contagious, so keep spreading it.
  • Laugh, learn and live to the max.
  • Think out-of-box-ish and let imagination be your guide.
  • Expand your horizons and go as far as you can go.
  • Try to sparkle, even when you’re not feeling shiny.
  • When you’re hot, stay cool.
  • Believe in yourself and you’ll start a trend.
  • When you’re feeling down, look up at the limitless sky.
  • Embrace the unexpected and it will embrace you.
  • When your smile makes someone else smile, it makes your heart smile too.
  • The rain is part of the deal if you want to get to the rainbow.
  • Go as far as you can go, even if the road’s a little rocky.
  • Be the hug to somebody’s pain.
  • Believe in possibility (“impossible” just gets in the way).
  • Discover the parts you’re missing and add them to your mix.
  • Find the funny, even when it hurts.
What are your positive plans for the new decade?
