12 Awesome Ways Insecure Girls Can Radiate Positivity ...

1. Channel Negativity

There is always a healthy way to deal with negativity, no matter what has happened or how it has come about. It may have made its way into your life in some form or another, but you're still able to channel it in the best way possible for you.

It's important to take time to process this form of negativity, it may be from a person or an event that happened. Give yourself a reasonable amount of time to properly reflect, but also look at the situation with a critical eye and ask yourself what caused it to happen and if or how it could have been prevented.

This will help you to understand the situation better and allow you to move on with a feeling of resolution and closure, as well as knowing what to do for next time if it should happen again. Now you can move past it, move on to bigger and better things and don't look back.

2. Be Optimistic

Set yourself a challenge to be more optimistic and see the glass half full instead of half empty.

Naturally, there are certain things which get us down and it can be very hard to stay positive at the best of times. But this, in itself, is a learning curve as we should aim to gain perspective by seeing these topics from all angles and sides.

It's hard to be optimistic about everything in life, sometimes it can seem like life is piling it on to find our breaking point, but come through out the other side with an optimistic attitude and that's the best outcome that could have possibly happened.

There's a silver lining to every cloud, which may be over-stated but it has so much truth to it. There is always a positive aspect to every situation, no matter how negative or gloomy it may seem.

You can always find some form of positivity, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. It's your job to turn that small, insignificant positive aspect into a meaningful one that you will become grateful for.

3. Have Gratitude

It's a very easy habit to get into thinking of life for what it could be and not what it is.

Think about everything you do have and why that's important and meaningful to you. Then think about everything you don't have and why that matters to you. This allows you to easily weigh up the quality and quantity of the things which you possess vs desire.

Take a look around you right now and silently name a couple of things which your grateful for, it doesn't matter where you are because there is always something to be found and recognised.

Be grateful for the little and big things in your life and understand why it's presence is so important, significant and meaningful to you personally.

Remember this every time you think about it as gratitude should always be held onto. It's true that you never know what you have until it's gone, but expressing gratitude while it's still here can make the loss that much more bearable and less regrettable.

4. See the Beauty

There's so much beauty in this world which goes unnoticed, unacknowledged and unrecognised.

It truly is such a shame because it would be a beautiful thing for everyone to stop for one minute, press pause on their busy lives of completing tasks and rushing around with jobs on their mind, and to recognise the beauty in life for what it is and where it is.

It surrounds us on a daily basis, you can't escape the beauty that can be found everywhere in so many different shapes, sizes and forms. There is nothing quite like the beauty of life, so why does it go unnoticed so often?

Be one of the few who observe beauty and uses it in a way that shapes you as an individual. See the beauty in others but most importantly, see the beauty in yourself. It's there every single minute of every day, even if you don't always notice it.

5. Give Back to Yourself

Bring positivity into your life by giving yourself an endless amount of self-love, self-worth, self-confidence and self-awareness. These are so special and significant which every individual should be doing every single day of their lives.

Recognise you for who you are in your purest form and everything that you're about and everything that you stand for. Reward yourself for your compliments and successes and take care of yourself when times rough or hard.

For some, it can take a long time to learn how to be your own best friend but it's something worth doing because at the end of the day, you come first and you're the only one you can count on to make things happen.

6. Learn to Forgive

There is a saying 'forgive and forget' which some believe go hand in hand. I believe this is true to an extent, but memories are with us forever and a lot of the time it's not easy, possible or even realistic to 'forget' even if you 'forgive'.

For example, some have gone through life-changing experiences where a terrible and haunting event has occurred in their lives. This shouldn't and, realistically speaking, can't be forgotten no matter how much it hurts to remember.

We have memories for a reason, for good or for bad, for better or for worse. Although we can't rid of those memories whenever we please, we can learn to live with them and use them to help us grow and become better individuals.

We should always aim to forgive others so we can move on with our lives in peace, without angst and grudges. I acknowledge that sometimes (depending on the situation and event) it simply can't be done, but it's important to try make it happen because it's about being able to confidently say that you tried your very best and you attempted to make it happen.

At the end of the day all we can do is our best and we can't ask for anything more than that. We are only human and only capable of doing so much.

7. Learn to Accept

Forgiveness and acceptance go hand in hand because if you forgive something or someone, you're also accepting it for what it is and the fact that it took place in your life.

This can take many years to do and is not at all easy. Some events can emotionally, physically and spiritually scar us and make their mark on our lives, no matter how much we wish it wasn't there.

Those events and occurrences are the hardest to accept because they stay with us, and although we grow as individuals into the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be, the scars and wounds carry through with us and become a part of who we are, our experiences and everything that we've been through.

They may be a mark of the event that took place but should be seen as a mark of strength since it's something we endured and lived through.

8. Be Strong

Strength comes from constantly pushing yourself to be the best you can possibly be, setting goals and challenges for yourself, acknowledging your successes but also your failures.

Strength is about being resilient to everything which life throws at us. Life is a roller coaster of ups and down, positives and negatives, highs and lows...you never know what's coming next and the unexpected always seems to happen.

There's so much we can't control, even in our own lives, but instead of trying to control every single aspect of life which is virtually impossible and non-achievable, we can accept that as a fact and focus on what we can control in our own lives.

We can encourage ourselves to stay strong so we can carry on through thick and thin. Strength comes from ourselves, or more specifically our most inner self and our heart.

But other people can also give us strength if we allow them to have that positive influence on us. Sometimes we need others to help us through situations when we are in times of general doubt, but even worse, self-doubt.

9. Learn to Love

There's never enough love to go around and I wish there was enough love to reach out and touch every single person in this world. I wish I could extend my love to all those who are in tragic times of pain, sorrow and suffering.

Love has such a huge influence in our lives which is often under-estimated which is why it should be recognised for what it is and the huge role that it plays in our lives.

Love comes from the heart and radiates from us to reach those around us. We channel it towards certain people and things as well as certain aspects of our lives. If you choose to let love into your life, it will help you grow as an individual and fill your heart and soul with love which you can then channel and extend out to others.

The process is ongoing and endless as love makes it way round every single person in this world and everyone receives their fair share.

Love should always be seen as a blessing, even when it doesn't always seem or feel like it. We wouldn't mean much at all in this world without love. It bonds and brings us all together, it unites us and provides common ground.

It's amazing to think there's so many people in this world, each with their own story to tell and experiences to share, and yet we have one major thing which connects us all and which we can all relate to, which is love.

10. Have Warmth

Let warmth radiate from your inner core and allow it to reach out to those around you. We can change the lives of others with warmth and it shouldn't be under-estimated in the slightest.

Some have more trouble with this than others, often giving the impression of being 'cold'. This doesn't mean the person is cold hearted at all, just that they have a different 'front' to what you have. This person has warmth inside of them, just as we all do, but it may be deep down and therefore quite difficult for them to penetrate this in such a way that they can use it to affect and influence others.

Others benefit from feeling the warmth that you radiate and channel towards them. It does not go unnoticed, even to the 'coldest' of people. Warmth will always be gratefully received and it's amazing to be able to influence others and allow them to return the favour by giving warmth back to you and also to others in their life.

11. Be Passionate

Be passionate about life, everything that you believe in and stand for. Be passionate about what you love doing such as hobbies and interests, your family, friends, loved ones and significant others. Be passionate about the fact that you're alive and have a life to live and fulfil, you were given an opportunity to be on this planet and to make dreams come true. Be passionate about the big things but even the small, little things which often go unnoticed and unappreciated.

Passion is all about having a great amount of appreciation for everything that means something to you personally. It can

be about giving yourself a voice for wider global issues which you strongly believe in and making this known to whoever is around, whoever will listen. That being said, you can always

be passionate even when no one is around and no one else is listening...because you are listening.

Passion is about not giving up and fighting until the end because it means a great deal to you and it's something worth fighting for.

12. Be Happy

Happiness should rule your life in every way possible. It is everything to be able to confidently say that you are happy with yourself and with your life overall.

It is something that everyone should strive for and never be overlooked. Happiness makes us feel alive and gives us so much positive energy and reassurance in every aspect of our lives.

It makes us feel on top of the world, completely elated and so content and satisfied with everything we have and with life.

Happiness matters and needs to be found (if not already) because it will always be worth living for.

It's unbearable to think of a life that does not include happiness of any sort, it would be an incredibly strange and underwhelming experience.

Fill your life with happiness inside and out and give happiness to others and especially your loved ones. Everyone deserves to live a happy, content life.
