Prue DeAraugoThe Power of Positivity
September 10th 2009 06:04
Now the history of this old adage is not unique to us mums…the Keep Calm and Carry On phrase was developed towards the end of World War II. Designed as a simple message from King George IV to his public to remind them they were doing everything possible to bring the War to an end. A rich history indeed, yet its philosophy rings as true today as it did back then. Granted, mums aren’t fighting a War but we do encounter adversity, struggle with our identity and experience emotional hardship…bottom line is we can all use the power of this positive little statement.
I’m a big believer in positive thinking. I think I'm one of the lucky ones who has it come naturally. My husband mistakenly calls it being a ‘dreamer’ but that would be what he would say…he’s more of a cynic or as he calls a realist. Growing up, my dad would teach us how to get motivated and stay positive. Usually by drawing on mottos derived from the sports arena, either way they have planted the seed in me to clearly believe the whole ‘glass is half full’ thing.
In recent times, I’m finding that I may need to rekindle that innate positivity. Perhaps find some new mantras to help me through times when I’m losing patience with myself, and worse with my family…something that I’m not proud of. My objective is to feel empowered by my own self belief, be confident and serene in my parenting, be successful at my business and manage my time appropriately. To achieve this every day, it all boils down to one thing…I can because I believe I can and I will because I believe I will.
Make it happen.
