*Gym attire from Motion by Coalition
One of my new year’s resolutions was to incorporate more yoga into my fitness routine and I am proud to say I have started to do so! I haven’t taken yoga in quite some time and it has been refreshing and liberating to say the least. I wanted to touch upon the power of positive thoughts which is something that I have learned through yoga and motivational books/podcasts. I have been making a priority to do yoga, think positively, stretch and say positive affirmations throughout the day and all of this together has already changed me as a person for the better.
I encourage many of you to take a moment out of the day, whether it’s in the mornings or nights to think positively and say what you are grateful for. Too often we live life and we do as we are told, but we never think about why or take a step back to appreciate what we have. I was very guilty of this but once I started to take some time for myself, I have become more observant of everything around me.
Below are five reasons of why you should practice positive thinking:
I cannot stress how easy it is to change your mindset and to think positively. There are many things in life that we need to work for if we want something such as going to the gym to get fit, going to school for a better education, etc. However, adopting a positive attitude is free. You will need to practice to make it come second nature and it’s a personal work in progress but I have been more patient, more grateful and more balanced. It’s one thing to read a blog post like this, but it’s another to actually do something afterwards. I really hope you guys take away the benefits of positive thinking and try it for just a minute today and let me know how it goes!

That actually is something I do every day (unfortunately not the yoga part). I meditate for 10 minutes or more in the evening and afterwards I write down all positive thoughts and good things that have happened during the day. If I for some reason or another should feel gloomy at times I just take out my notes and read them through and realize I'm quite amazing! :)

That's so great to hear! I love that you take time to reflect and really get to know yourself spiritually and mentally because I think that's very important for balance and peace.
Yoga is one thing I need to try to incorporate into my fitness routine. I feel like it would help a lot with the stress in my life and for just overall coordination. It looks so relaxing and overall fun!

I've been loving it so far and think there are huge benefits to yoga!
I really loved this post, girly! It's seriously important to incorporate positive thinking into our lives on a daily basis. I know that for me, it can be a challenge when I'm facing a tricky situation, but that's when it's the most necessary! Practicing yoga, meditation, and just enjoying quiet serenity can help refocus your thoughts and put your mind in a better state, so I try to take little breaks throughout every day to just deep breathe and remind myself of the good things I've experienced recently, thanking God for all life's little blessings! Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for reading it Stephanie! I'm so glad that you loved this post and I know a lot of people can benefit from it if they start to incorporate positive thinking into their daily routine!
Yes to positive thinking! I always tell my kids to be more positive and be grateful for what they have yet there are times that I fail to do that for myself. Positive thinking not only sets the mood for your day but also for others as well that surround you. I love this post as I get ready for a new week and will definitely be mindful to not only be positive but also try and keep others positive around me as well! xoxo, Christine

So glad you are teaching your kids about the benefits of positive thinking. I think what you instill in them is what they will take away as they grow older.
I can't tell you how much I needed to read a post like this because I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown last week and reminding myself of all the positives in my life was so important for me to get through it! Great advise honey <3

The way to flexibility is through yoga!! I also make it a priority to stretch after every workout so that definitely helps :)
Couldn't agree more! Positive thoughts and attitude definitely helps us tackle any situation/problem in a much better way. Also, how cute is that workout outfit.
