Mom and middle bro left the house to take care of some errands.

Baby bro got on the bus.

I'm in the house preparing to drink water and eat a salad.

It's sunny — 37 degrees here in New York.

Let's talk about 3 reasons to think positive.

------------------------------

Thinking positive is important.

You focus on building positive habits.

Here are 3 reasons to think positive:

1. To develop an optimistic mindset.

When was the last time you spoke to kids?

Kids do this:

• They see the good.
• They encourage people.
• They look on the bright side.

Any negative news is an event which passes by.

Speak to kids.

They can tell you how they think.

2. To practice maintaining a positive outlook on life.

I learned from people close to me not to beat myself up.

Working at a casino years ago, one event went wrong.

My office Mom told me:

"Don't get so down, Craig."

Here's the truth:

Things will go wrong in life.

Even things out of your control.

It's an event.

Take it in stride and keep your head up.

Every day is a choice to dwell on the negative or think positive.

Try this exercise:

Write 3 things you are grateful for each day in a gratitude journal or notebook.

Nothing is too big or small to write down.

For example:

1. I'm grateful to be writing to you.
2. Grateful for my Mom who left a salad.
3. I appreciate my Mom sending me a smiley emoji.

You build a habit of positive thinking over time.

3. To bounce back and come back stronger.

I had posts over the years.

Some did well. Some flopped.

Here's the key:

It's how you bounce back and recover your confidence.

Think positive and be positive to make people feel positive.

Even a smile can brighten someone's day.

P.S. Do you think positive or negative?
