66 Negativity Quotes

63 Negativity Quotes

My wise grandmother, who lived to almost 100 years old, once told me in a letter : ‘I gave up negativity many years ago’. It struck me at the time that she wrote about it as if she’d given up cigarettes, or any other bad habit. And I believe that it’s the best way to think about negativity. It’s a bad habit and you can kick it! You can simply ‘give up’ being negative. Feeling down about a situation? Flip it around in your mind and imagine things turning out well! Take the negative thought and flip it to it’s positive! I hope these Negativity Quotes remind you of how having a negative outlook is something you can fix. So try the flip technique today and be more positive.
