POSITIVE PEOPLE CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Many people struggle to find contentment and reasons that can make them smile. There is extreme value in surrounding yourself with people who find ways to lift their own spirits. This person being present in your life will probably lift your spirit too! Its one of the best tips on how you can become a happier person!

It’s worth the time it may take to consciously surround yourself with people who can create goodness for themselves, and those around them. Take a look around you and see – do you seem to be drawn to happy people? The answer is yes, we all do!

Five reasons to surround yourself with positivity:

Reason 1. Happiness is contagious: Finding those people that can nurture and create their own happiness, is one of the best ways to bring happiness into your own life! These people will most likely share the happiness freely. So spend time around them and you'll find yourself in a whole new positive world.

Reason 2. Laughter is a great way to bond with others: A perfect way to build relationships with others it to have fun with them or share some laughter.
A good way to bond and get to know another person is by watching someone react to a funny situation and you will feel yourself getting pulled into good humour and moods

Reason 3. Don't complain about things: Life can be hard and comes with its struggles. But isn't it refreshing to spend time with people who don't waste time and energy complaining about every little thing? You can almost immediately feel better when your'e around someone who sees the good in things.

Reason 4. Learn coping strategies: We all have our strategies for dealing with hard days and rough times. But it can’t hurt to take inspiration from those around you. They may have ideas you haven’t considered. Better yet, you might be invited to join them! Their evening walks or bookstore wanderings may become your new favorite outlet on stressful days.

Reason 5. We become like those we keep closest: There's an old saying that we become like those we choose to hold closest. Look around at your inner circle of friends and confidantes. Are they who you would like to become? Do you admire and respect them? If not, perhaps you should consider why you don’t and open your circle to new inspiration.

So go out and enjoy the small things in life!! Live, love, Laugh :)
