Do you receive enough positive affirmations in your life?
It really does make a difference in attitude. I will go several weeks at a time without anyone telling me anything positive about myself, and I do notice my mood sinking and my thoughts start turning dark. And when I suddenly receive a compliment or a positive comment, then it turns around so fast!
I wish my attitude wasn't so dependent on other people. But to me, a positive compliment from another person = 20+ positive comments from myself. It just doesn't pack the same punch when I'm trying to boost my own confidence.
So I'm trying to figure out how to surround myself with more positive people. That's why blogging has been important to me, because of all the positivity and social support here. I'd like a similar circle of positivity in my real life, but why is it so difficult?
I think in real life, people are bogged-down with responsibilities and chores and to-do lists and everyday stresses, that to take 20 seconds to build up someone else is easily overlooked.
But when people make the time to go online (via blog or social media, etc), then some of those stresses and responsibilities can be set aside for awhile, allowing more positivity to come out.
I don't know, what do you all think?
I just wish with all my heart, that someone I respected in my real life would tell me:
"All your hard work does not go unnoticed."
