Positive is as positive does...

Several of my best friends swear by affirmations on a regular basis. It's all about positive thinking.

I'm a great believer in the idea that positivity is stored. In a sort of silo. Somewhere. If you think enough positive thoughts and do enough positive actions then it tops up your resources. When you're feeling less-than-positive, you can draw on this tank of action. It off-sets the down times, helps to cushion against the troughs and, above all, allows you to take a little time to breathe, recover and look for the exit.

I've just been through a rather challenging time. I came out the winner in the end but had to draw on the resources I'd been given not just through my own positive thinking but also the fantastic contribution from loved ones and dear friends. They were those same friends with the affirmations - we shared the same pot of positivity.

Try it. You're sure to like it.
