Keep the positive and discard the negative.

Hello, Positivity Posse. Welcome back to The Positivity Pause Podcast. I am so excited that you are joining me today not just because I am thankful to be able to spend some time with you, but I am also thrilled that you are taking a pause for positivity. As a matter of fact, if you happen to hear some crickets in the background it is because I am on one of my islands of positivity, Martha’s Vineyard and I'm recording this podcast from there. Today I really want to continue the theme of our habits of positivity.

On the island of positivity, we say that you take a #PositivityPause to redefine, recharge, reset before you resume. It's really important to have a framework that allows you to take time, to just embrace those things that add to you rather than focus on the things that take away from you. It is so tempting in the world that we live in today, where we are surrounded by so many negative messages and images, for those to become our prevailing set point. As we take the time to pause for positivity, we allow ourselves to be elevated above our circumstances. We allow ourselves to be empowered to take action. Really and truly, we create a space for healing. We create a space for mental, emotional, and physical wellness because the data and the evidence show very clearly, that the more positivity that you ingest, the more positivity that you are surrounded by, the more positivity that you internalize, the more healthy you are likely to be. So how do we create a discipline that allows us to pause for positivity?

Today I encourage you to develop a level of consciousness where habit of positivity number three says, keep the positive and discard the negative. It is simply making a choice and we have the power to make a choice for ourselves. In making that choice, you position yourself to not hold on to the things that take away from you. I liken it to the function of our gastrointestinal tract. When you take in food, which consists of the nutrients, which you will hold on to, and then it consists of waste products that you need to get rid of. If we did not have a process within our bodies, that allows us to expel waste products, this results in significant illness and disease, and the same is true for positivity and negativity.

"By pausing for positivity, you are essentially developing approaches, mechanisms, strategy, the same types of systems that exist in your body."

As we take in the things that we are surrounded by, which will have a mix of both positive factors, as well as negative factors that we go through. The process that our body does through the liver, through the gastrointestinal tract, through the kidneys, there is a process by which the positives are extracted, and the negatives are released. By pausing for positivity, you are essentially developing approaches, mechanisms, strategy, the same types of systems that exist in your body. You are developing a strategy and a mechanism to expel the waste products so that they do not accumulate and cause significant mental, emotional, and physical disease. So, as you take this pause for positivity, you take a pause for the things that add to you, and you release consciously and actively those things that are weighing, that are detracting, and that are taking away.

It does not mean that you will not encounter negativity in your lives. In the same way that our body processes through all of those things that don't serve us and then release them the same way that our minds, our emotions allow us to identify those things that we will hold on to and expelled the things that don't serve us. So, as you continue to take your positivity pauses during the day, keep remembering and being very conscious in taking this time and space to reflect, to embrace the things that add to you and to release the things that do not. Thank you once again for taking the time to pour into you, to create the space for positivity. Until next time, God bless you!
