Oprah and Positivity

Labels: ,

I love Oprah. I love her like I love a cup of good coffee, a scrumptious dark chocolate, like a good book. She always makes me feel good. Since I left my job and decided to be a stay at home mother, I have been able to watch Oprah everyday. I also buy her magazines and follow her on the internet. She is just a source of inspirational positivity.

Perhaps some of the other housemothers out there feel that staying at home is frustrating, exhausting and depressing. I feel this way and when I do, I always find a way not to be swallowed by these emotions. You see, it is not just about "being a stay at home mom", but about life itself.

I think that to feel uninspired, down, or empty is normal especially when you find that your life seem to have no meaning just because you know or feel that you could be doing something else instead of what you are doing now. You are lost and oftentimes you find yourself thinking how mundane and uninteresting your life is. Depression comes and then it eats you just because you have let those emotions get through you. Some of you turn to drinking alcohol, to drugs or to anything that will make you forget about life's problems. But the truth is you are just taking an express route to spiral your life down when you do this.

It is hard to always have a positive mind and positive attitude but it is doable. I truly believe that you can shift your mindset from the negative to positive. There are a lot of resources that can help you bring positivity, excitement, and inspiration in your life. A trusted friend, a confidant, family, a group with similar interest, a good book and even an inspiring show like The Oprah Winfrey Show.

My favorite source of positivity are the good people around me. They do not necessarily have to be physically with me because their thoughts are enough. Positivity is very powerful you know. It can brighten your day and turn your life around. But you have to choose to surround yourself with positive things. You have to find your source of positivity meaning you cannot just do nothing every time you feel lost, dull, dissatisfied, or unhappy. Positivity is everywhere and you just have to open your eyes and mind from the littlest beauty to the grandest possibilities. Let good things touch your heart and light your soul. The key is you choose positivity.

Once you have chosen positivity, you will start to feel good about yourself, about other people, and will be able to have better days which will eventually make you appreciate your life more, and if needed, come up with ideas on improving your life.

It is so weird that I cry when I watch Oprah's shows. I love how she can move people to tears and how she can bring so much joy to other people with her surprises. She is such an inspiration to many. She helps people and makes a difference in their lives in so many different ways. And what I love the most is watching her cry when the person whom she helped cries with so much gratitude and when Oprah laughs as hard and jumps when her audience scream hysterically after they receive a surprise. To me this shows that what she does affects her and makes a difference on her life too. And those moments of looking at her and at the people she gives happiness to, their joy, tears, and excitement feeds my heart with so much emotions that I could not help but be moved into tears.

You do not have to have as much money as Oprah does or to have a TV show like hers to touch people's lives, to bring positivity, and make a difference. A simple little act of genuine kindness can make your day like helping an old lady, choosing to be courteous and understanding of your co-worker, sharing your lunch money to someone who needs it more, or comforting someone. Your little simple act of kindness will then accumulate within you and you will feel good about yourself, you will be inspired to do it everyday and you will start to feel that your life has a meaning. The best way to feeling positive, of inspiring others, of making a difference is starting it from within yourself. And trust me, you can do it. We can do it.

You can start feeling inspired and positive by watching The Oprah Winfrey Show. It is fun and a lot of times life changing.
