"September 13th is Positive Thinking Day. While we don't need a day to recognize the importance and value that positivity can have in our lives, reminders can be helpful. We are all human, and it's not easy to be positive all the time, especially when you are challenged by an obstacle. We have to accept that life can be difficult and find ways to not only survive, but thrive. Practicing your positivity skills can help you build a great life."
"When I lost my home and community in the Palisades Fire this year, it created many new challenges. Despite my despair, all I told myself was to have hope and that things would work out. This belief is what made the situation tolerable. While the financial devastation remains, we relocated to a more central part of Los Angeles and are content. And in spite of having to change schools, our kids are now happier not having to sit in the car for long commutes."
September 13th is Positive Thinking Day. Reminders about positivity can help because people are not positive all the time, especially when facing obstacles. Positive thinking enables not only survival but thriving. Being hopeful focuses less on how and more on trusting that things will work out. When someone loses home and community in a fire, hope can make the situation tolerable and enable relocation and adjustments that improve daily life. Looking at the bright side and practicing gratitude helps by focusing on benefits, such as family safety and improved circumstances despite losses. Negative emotions drain energy and should be addressed.
