Hello, and welcome to Smart Positivity. In this article you will find a list full of positive words, as well as their meaning.

But before we get to the list, let’s have a quick word about positive words.

Quick word about positive words

One of the most important things to know about words is that they have a lot of power, especially positive words.

Wheatear they are written or spoken, positive words, your positive words can empower, encourage, they can motivate, and they can inspire you and the people around you.

While positive words have a lot of power, they won’t be able to do too much on their own if you don’t try to be at least a little bit receptive. A lot of positive words, like most words, can have multiple meanings. And if you try to see the negative side of things, not even the most positive word in the world will seem that positive to you. So basically, the more you try to think about being positive, the greater the effect of the positive words will be.

I know from personal experience that trying to maintain a positive attitude during hard times can be challenging, but it can be done if you practice.

At the end of the article, after the positive word list I will share with you a small tip, or exercise if you want, that drastically helped me in my day to day life when it comes to maintaining a positive attitude.

But before that, here is a table with the positive words, and after the table you will find list with the same positive words, as well as their meaning and an example of how to use them in a sentence.

 One last tip

In the end I would like you to recommend you a simple, easy and short exercise that can drastically improve your day and your overall life.

Start your day by choosing a positive word and try to make a couple of sentences that can apply to your daily life, and try to follow up on those sentences. Here is an example, let’s say that the word you choose is “Family”. One of the sentences could be something like:

“Today after I’m done working, I will spend some time with my family.”

Or, if the word is “Positive” one of the sentences can look like this:

“I will try to keep a positive attitude for the rest of the day.”

The sentences don’t have to be too long or too complicated, try to keep them as simple as possible. They also don’t have to include complicated actions, the simpler they are the better.

From personal experience I would suggest you to start with very simple sentences, this way you will be able to follow them, and over time try to make them a little more complex. The important part is to keep them at a complexity level that you can follow.
