Create your tribe
The reality is, fostering a positive existence isn’t possible if you’re constantly in the company of those who pull you down. However, there’s an easy fix! Just start associating with optimistic individuals. When I began doing this, I noticed almost instant improvements and some benefits that will manifest later. Here are 8 astonishing outcomes that occur when you immerse yourself in a crowd of cheerful people.
- Your Outlook Will Transform
I absolutely relish the time I spend with my upbeat pals! It instills me with a surge of energy and enthusiasm. My outlook evolves into one of self-assurance and serenity. You’re bound to experience the same transformation.
Being with pessimistic individuals can negatively impact your outlook, but being with positive ones will let you navigate through situations with a constant grin. - You Will Achieve More
I guide a team of runners and I always strive to project positivity during our meetings. Did you know that these lovely individuals run faster and further because they feel uplifted? They surpass their own expectations as they are instilled with the belief that they’re capable of more. And you’ll find the same happening to you!
Having cheerleaders in your life who tell you that you’re capable of more will indeed lead to you accomplishing more!
- Consider your current social circle.
Chances are, it’s those who possess a positive outlook. These individuals often attract more friendships than their pessimistic counterparts. We typically enjoy the company of the upbeat individual who brings life to any party – a person who is invariably positive. Craving more friendships? Surround yourself with positivity!
Next, there’s a tangible advantage to spending time with optimists – it could increase your earnings! As previously mentioned, positivity is infectious and spending time with optimistic individuals often boosts your own positivity. The Wall Street Journal reports that positive people not only earn more than the average, but significantly outearn those with a negative outlook – by a whopping 40%! Hence, embracing positivity could be a route to enhancing your income.
- Your Lifespan Will Increase
This is crucial. Being around optimistic friends can influence your outlook and contribute to a longer lifespan. Per the research of Dr. David R. Hamilton, it’s been revealed that individuals with a positive attitude tend to live at least seven years longer than those with a negative perspective!
Those who maintain a positive mindset experience fewer long-term health issues and are more successful at warding off illnesses. If there’s one takeaway from this write-up, let it be this: your longevity is impacted by your positivity.
Lastly, you’ll find yourself consistently content. It’s important to understand that happiness is essentially an internal state of mind that can be controlled.
