The Power of Positivity

Our focus in Team East is The Power Of Positivity. So far we have done a series of dramas and looked at how your body language affects people differently.


When I thought of positivity before we looked at the topic I thought that being positive was tied in with being nice. For example, giving someone a lollipop but as we have created scenes on how people can feel uncomfortable or unhappy I have changed my theory.


I know that for a fact everyone has shown bad body language or done something to offend somebody. They may have not meant to do it on purpose or done it just to hurt a person's feelings. It can be done discretely or it can be blatantly obvious. However you do it and whenever you do this it hurts another person's feelings and can make their life miserable.


After we had focused on this this topic for a week I have a new theory on being positive. If someone asked what it is to be positive I would say that being positive goes from smiling and having no negative thoughts. If you do have negative thoughts don't voice it,I mean why do people say negative things? After thinking about this the only answer I can come up with is,to make people feel bad which is horrible.


What I sometimes think to myself is:
-If you be positive to other people they will be positive back.
