Positive Tweeting to Encourage Positive Thinking
Positive thinking seems to be more challenging these days, doesn’t it? I think it has a lot to do with social media and our instant access to, well, everything. We now know the news as it happens, what our friends had for breakfast, and everything else you can think of. Social media is amazing like that, but it also has a dark side. Did you know that last year women sent out over 5 million negative tweets about beauty and body image? Not cool, ladies. We need to change this. Post sponsored by Lunchbox. Opinions are 100% my own.
Positive Tweeting
All it takes is one positive tweet to start a trend. We all know how a nice compliment first thing in the morning can set the day off to a good start. Same can be said for a tweet. You can tweet positive quotes, inspiring words, loving thoughts to friends and family, or anything that can help someone out there on the road towards positive thinking. They say smiling is contagious. So is positive tweeting. 😉
Not all of those 5 million tweets were directed at other people. Many of them were simply women voicing their insecurities about themselves. I am so guilty of this. I am not one to criticize what someone is wearing at the Oscars, but I don’t think twice about putting myself down. Fun side note: If I ever feel like talking smack about what anyone is wearing while watching an awards show, I like to surprise myself with a front-facing camera shot. That’s a quick reminder that I am most likely in sweats, no makeup, messy bun, and a giant dog face t-shirt. I have no business to cut down another woman!
Back to the point. We need to change the vibe out there. We need to spread positivity, not hate and throw shade, or whatever the kids say these days. Personally, I need to stop beating myself up, even if it is sarcastically.

Positive thinking is so important to our mental well-being. How do you stay positive or encourage others to do so?
Your beautiful…inside and out.
Awe thank you!!!! I hope your weekend is fabulous!
Love this! I don’t think anyone should in insulting other women. We all have our good days and out bad days.
This is such a great idea! I think it is SO much better to build people up than break them down. It’s fun to give people complements and it makes you all warm inside when someone takes the time to do it for you too.
everything in our lives could use more positivity, especially social media. This is a wonderful initiative, thanks for sharing!
I couldn’t agree more. Positive thinking is powerful and it moves us toward a happier, better state.
Being positive towards another person can make their day. As the saying goes from the movie Bambi, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”.
I really love this!! I also really love Dove products too. I use them all the time. They’re my favorite brand.
This reminds me… I used to send out tweets about other female bloggers who have helped me out or done something amazing. I should get back to doing that. We could use more positivity on social media!
I love trying to infect others with my energy and smile! We all need to be more friendly on social media though, send out the good vibes!
I really do need to remember to be the reason someone smiles! I love how simple and effective this can be!
5 million negative tweets? That saddns me. I love this campaign and am all about tweeting positivity.
I’m loving this positive message. We shouldn’t be putting ourselves or others down! I’d love to see more positive vibes on Twitter.
This reminds me of the age old “if you having nothing nice to say, say nothing”…. all of those negative tweets makes me sad. Such a great campaign!
I love this! Making someone smile everyday is a goal of mine.
I try to be a positive person. I think it can be contagious. You never know when a smile will change someones day.
It is important to try to be a positive person. I like to tweet positive quotes.
I love this! I mean I wouldn’t be friends with anyone who talked to me the way I talk about myself!
You’re so right! Being negative about a fellow lady’s appearance is nothing but bad! We need to promote positive body image and healthy self esteem for young women!
I love the idea of positive tweeting. This will definitely send positive vibes to those who will read it.
Beauty is confidence,charisma & character!
I also believe it’s crucial to be positive- it is a choice to have a positive outlook.I believe if one does not have a kind word to comment rather keep quiet.Positive people handle negative situation easily or better than negative people.I like to surround myself with positive people.To bring a smile on somebody’s face is a great way of spreading a kind attitude towards daily life.A day eithout laughter is a day waisted.Smile
