"You are generous with praise, quick to smile, and always on the lookout for the positive in the situation. Some call you lighthearted. Others just wish that their glass were as full as yours seems to be. But either way, people want to be around you...You celebrate every achievement. You find ways to make everything more exciting and more vital." - pg. 109 of Now, Discover Your Strengths (Buckingham & Clifton)

Does this sound like you...?

My glass is half full.

My Positivity friend tells me she often gets comments from others about her choices in life and in motherhood. She says her positivity helps her get past them easily.

One of her challenges is in addressing situations with teachers or other moms. Because of her positivity she avoids confrontation and sometimes looks back thinking "I should have stood up more for my girls."

How do you use your Positivity?

Turning lice into something nice...

One Positivity mom told me that her girls recently got lice at school - what a nightmare! During the hours of combing and picking, her positivity theme kept the focus on the light at the end of the tunnel..."When we're done with this we are going to celebrate with a trip to the Cold Stone Creamery!" she would tell them.
