My Word for 2020

My word for 2020 is going to be positivity. Throughout my life, I have been somewhat of a "negative Nelly" and I think that it has become a crutch. A way of putting up walls to block out all of the bad things happening around me. But, I really want to be a more positive person. Not somebody who seems annoyingly happy all of the time, but just normal happy and just someone who feels good on a regular basis.

Back in October (of 2019), this was a personal trait that I was really wanting to work on. So, I did what most young people do and I looked for an App on my phone. I know what you're thinking, "of course the millennial thinks that an App can solve all of her problems". Well, I don't think that. I know that I have a lot to work on in regards to myself and an App is not the end all answer to everything in regards to my lack of positivity in life. But, this app, called 3 Good Things allows me to think of at least three things that went well each day and jot them down. My thought process in doing this was that, no matter how bad a day may seem, I should always be able to think positively about three good things that happened that day. Of course, some days are harder than others, but then you have those days (and for me I have been seeing a lot more of them since I started using this App) that some genuinely amazing things happen and it feels so great to acknowledge those things and those days.

I have continued to use this App in the year of 2020 and I plan to continue using it for however long I feel like doing so. I want to be a more positive person. I think that it is something about myself that I really need to work on and I want to be able to succeed in being a more positive and happy person. I am hopeful that 2020 is going to be a great year! My year!
