Positive Peggy

We've finally come to the conclusion of discussing different ways to cope. Now I'm a little biased, but I saved the best for last!

We all have those moments in life where we just can't even.
Things are going wrong and we just want to bask in the moment of it being a crappy day.

And there's nothing wrong with that! We all deserve the chance to have those moments.

There are many research articles that have found positive psychology to be helpful, not only with those who have disabilities, but in general.

By focusing on the positive aspects of the situation, re-framing negative thoughts, and finding outlets that the person enjoys such as dancing, religion, and music it can overall affect the attitude and outlook of the person.

Positivity can lead to a healthier lifestyle, higher self-esteem, and a better chance at overcoming the obstacles in front of you.

Next time something goes wrong, or you just have a bad day, think about what hasn't gone wrong yet.

Oh and check out this awesome blog post about Positive Psychology :)
