Positivity
Positivity is the habit of looking for what is good, hopeful, or workable in a situation, even when things are not perfect. It does not mean ignoring problems, but approaching them with the belief that something can be learned, improved, or enjoyed.
What positivity means
Positivity is a generally upbeat, hopeful way of thinking and feeling. It shows up as expecting that good outcomes are possible, noticing what is going right, and using encouraging self-talk rather than constant criticism.
How positivity shows up
Positivity can appear as gratitude, optimism, kindness, or choosing to focus on solutions instead of just complaints. It often helps people cope better with stress, keep trying after setbacks, and build warmer relationships, because others tend to feel better around a positive attitude.
