Working on Staying Positive

How do we stay positive when life seems like a downward spiral? 
 What helps me is listening to the Spiritual Mentors and channeled messages from Angels and others.  Their messages are always the same, we are LOVE, and they are always there for you!  This has been an illusion, duality of things here on earth, not being able to understand happy without feeling sad, etc.  We are here to learn lessons to grow and advance spiritually, learning ways to love ourselves.  Just love, true, pure love.  I hope we all have people that genuinely love us, because we need this connection with others that helps lift us up.  
How to love ourselves more today?  What one thing can we to today for us, to make ourselves happy and feel good?  Of course that will be different for each of us, but just being aware of this and asking ourselves daily is a great start.  To stop and think about ourselves, just for a moment, and what would make us feel good doing today, is a great way to start the day.  Now it's time to follow through, maybe accomplishing something I have been putting off doing?  Maybe making myself a nice pot of soup to keep me warm and healthy during this cold season.  (Which I just did!  Butternut squash with quinoa and kale, awesome!)  One thing that always comes to me is going to nature, the woods, lake, ocean, any of it.  This always makes me feel so good, so comforted, so supported, and helps raise my vibration and energy, which in turn always raises the vibration for all!   Yes, that is our goal here, to raise the vibration within ourselves, and for all of humanity, and the result is Peace on Earth. 
The point is to go within, and think of what feels good for you today, to put yourself first.  The love and respect you will feel by doing this, will raise your vibration, and in return, bring wonderful things to you, and help raise the energy and vibration of all!
