Combat the Approval Addiction
Comparing ourselves to others is practically served to us on a silver platter in this digital world. We have constant access to everyone's highlight reel. We carry around a device that chirps and chimes, which studies have proven sends dopamine through our systems....
Yes!!! I try to remind myself to focus on the little happies instead of getting caught up on the things that are bothering me. Sometimes it is hard but this is a great reminder! Like getting to gchat with you during the week! 🙂
Such a great challenge and I really am going to incorporate it. Are you feeling better?
Yes for positive thoughts but girl its so hard when that white crap is outside my door lol!
I hope you're starting to feel a bit better and your nails look amazing as always!! 🙂 xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
Your nails always make me happy!! Hope you're feeling better!!
Awesome idea!
Lol. I have a bad habit of making a Facebook update every time something is pissing me off. My status history looks like one giant tirade! I'll have to keep this in mind:)
haha you're so cute. i like reading and cats. hot tea and blankets. i love the feeling of getting in your car after a 100 degree day and it's so hot and stuffy that you can't breathe. love it.
I absolutely love this! It's so important to focus on the good things. 🙂
This is so hard for me to do sometimes, but this post is such a good reminder to shift our thinking. Right now I'm focusing on how much I'm loving the sunshine even though it's insanely freezing outside.
I love your mug and nail polish…and mugs and nail polish in general.
When I get complain-y, I do a quick and dirty five things I'm thankful for/love list. It helps!
I'm trying with the grateful thing. I'm focusing in on what's good and right instead of what's bad and wrong.
I like chocolate chips melted with peanut butter and eaten with a spoon. And I don't like chai lattes. 🙂
I've been working on my positivity for so long. I am trying to see the good or find things that make me happy each day…and let them overpower the negative in my life. So far it's working. 🙂
This is something I've been working on. Trying to think of all the things I like instead of the ones I don't. Including the ones about myself.
I like tea and my dogs and books and peanut butter anything and when someone else does the dishes. And my hair.
Stopping by your blog from Jayda's. 🙂 I love that nail polish color! It's so pretty! And perfect for this time of year. And I definitely agree with you – sharing what you love is so much better than focusing on what you don't like. 🙂
Yes! This is exactly why I started doing the 5 Minute Journal. Focus on the positive. I'm focusing on the nice weather even though I wish we had snow. 🙂
Positivity is how I stay sane. "I have lupus, but at least it's not ebola. Or the black plague" <3
Awww. Positivity at it's best! I like you too!

What a good idea! I'm going to give this a try!
