While some would rather sit back and leave the universe to do its thing, others are discovering that when we are feeling positive and happy from within, it tends to attract good things to us - a magnet of sorts. Of course, this is easier said than done, as our bodies often expect the worst. Although we think we're sensibly preparing ourselves for any downfalls ahead, we're actually just manifesting negativity into our lives. Here are some things you can do to practice positivity.

Holding onto grudges is no way to keep a positive mindset. Try to accept that people and situations are the way they are for a reason and be open to differences. Move on quickly from negative interactions and experiences, and try not to place your judgment. On that note, this accepting nature applies to yourself as well. Be forgiving about your own mistakes and weaknesses, and don't allow yourself to be held back by regret or disappointment in yourself. Brush yourself down and try again!

Positive people are grateful people. This can manifest itself in numerous ways, but the more ways you can practice it, the better! Many make a conscious effort to be grateful when things are done for them. Even if they've just opened the door for you, saying thank you with a smile will do wonders. With that in mind, reflecting on the good in your life is also a valuable form of gratitude. Positive people don't compare themselves to others and what they do or do not have; they concentrate on the good and feel grateful for that. They celebrate all their achievements, big or small, in an attempt to feel constantly happy.

Positive people dare to dream. Although many will tell you it's not a good use of time, daydreaming and visualizing what you want in life can be an effective form of manifestation. Think of all the good things you want, and then be proactive in making it happen. Positive people make things happen; they don't wait around for good to come to them. Do not allow your fears and self-doubt to block your way to success; make plans and leave room to fall a few times along the way! You got this!
