Chapter 1: The Nature of Negativity and Positivity
We often feel frustrated when someone nearby is constantly complaining; it can be quite bothersome. For instance, I woke up to a cold cup of coffee today, and it feels like there's a never-ending list of grievances: the traffic, uncomfortable shoes, missed calls to my parents, and deadlines looming. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by these thoughts.

Alright. Let’s take a moment to breathe. Yes, negativity is indeed infectious. However, the silver lining is that positivity can be equally contagious.
Do you recall the last time a stranger did something kind for you? How did that make you feel? If you can’t remember, why not try being that person for someone else and watch their reaction.
Acts of kindness bring joy, and that feeling can linger long after the moment has passed. We can choose to hold onto those uplifting memories just as we do with the painful ones.
Positivity is indeed infectious.
When we wish to uplift someone, we can use a mix of relativity, validation, compliments, and a touch of affection. While these gestures might not always yield immediate results, your loved ones recognize your intentions and appreciate your efforts.
Remember, the focus should be on them, not on you. Ask if they would like to talk—it's as simple as a yes or no. Take it step by step.
If you notice that your encouraging words aren’t having the desired effect, consider making a thoughtful gesture instead. Here are some straightforward ideas for spreading kindness:
- Organize a walk outdoors
- Set up a movie night
- Spontaneously invite them to join your plans
- Prepare a healthy meal together
- Start a book club with them
- Create a collaborative feel-good playlist
- Plan a day trip
- Establish a shared sports routine
- Rearrange their space for better energy flow
These small acts can greatly uplift your loved one's mood for days, weeks, or even longer. They also serve as ways to proliferate positivity.
If you truly care for something, it reflects that you are capable of love. Therefore, love surrounds you.
I care. You care. They care. We care.
