I'm curious.
Also, if you're an innate positive person, were you always like that or did it take a lot of introspection/work to achieve a positive mindset?

It took alot of therapy and rewiring my brain to stay positive. But I do feel like since im more positive in my mind that I have more positive things happen to me. But its hard work. Its not easy rewiring your brain to think positive.

I’m not a “positive everyday, all the time, happy, go-lucky person”, but I do have the mindset that things will always work out, and they always do for me. Nothing I’ve ever wanted in life, that I didn’t get.

I’ve always been a glass half full kind of person, my family generally is all the same too so maybe it’s how I was raised a bit. I attract the good and the bad in life but I think I just have better ways of coping with the bad than some. My husband’s work is a pretty negative environment and highly stressful and he always calls me his light and his sounding board. I seem to have a calming effort on stressed people, I was always the mum in the group of friends growing up.
It doesn’t take any real effort for me to stay positive but I do try to avoid overly negative people. I’ve had my fair share of shit times and hardships don’t get me wrong but I don’t dwell on them and I move on pretty fast.
