First things first... Why should you care?

Our emotional state dictates the quality of our life. The 30 Days of Positivity Challenge is a daily personal challenge designed to condition the mind and body to maintain a positive emotional state. Our mindset contributes to 80% of our success. So, this challenge forces you to reprogram your mindset for success. When we're in a good mood and have a positive mindset, the probability of us being more productive, having better relationships, and making more money goes up. On the other hand, when we're in a bad mood and have a negative mindset, the opposite tends to occur.

Imagine living in a mansion but you're always upset, stressed, anxious, or sad. On the other hand, imagine living in a townhouse but you're always peaceful and happy. Your quality of life has everything to do with how you feel about yourself and the world around you. Your focus becomes your future. So, focus on nurturing a positive emotional state. Our feelings give us clues about the state of our emotions and environment, and tell us if we're progressing in the right direction. Progress equals growth. This challenge helps you to grow positive feelings to attract positive people and things into your life.

Let's get started with today's challenge!

Let's Get To The Point

Gratitude is one of the quickest ways to maintain a positive emotional state. Continue to build your emotional muscle of gratitude. Your challenge today is to answer this question: What are you grateful for?

Donnie Thomas:

Hey, everybody. So today is Day 2 of my 30 Days of Positivity Challenge. And today, I am grateful for the CARES Act. I know many of you know the CARES Act because you are receiving your stimulus checks in your bank accounts. There're also businesses that are receiving loans that enable them to sustain their operations during these troubling times, but I'm thankful for it. And I know a lot of people always say that, "Well, it's not enough. The government could be doing more. We need a different type of support. We need more." But there's always not enough until you realize what not enough is like when you're getting nothing. So I'm really appreciative of it. I'm also thankful for some of the other provisions within the Act. One being the removal of the 10% penalty when you take money out of your retirement account as a last resort for Coronavirus related activity. So that's Day 2 of my 30 Days of Positivity Challenge and I hope you all have a blessed day.
