Another part in our series on positive words. Today’s letter is X, so we will talk about positive words that start with x. But before we get to these, let’s take a look at the power of positive thoughts. Because how happy and successful you are depends to a large amount on the quality of your thoughts.
Buddha already said:
“We are what we think. Everything we are arises from our thoughts. With our thoughts we shape the world.”
The Buddha
One reason for this is that our thoughts have an enormous influence on our feelings.
How you mentally evaluate a situation massively affects how you feel. To simplify:
While the equation is a little more complex, it is generally valid. It means that the more positive thoughts you have the better, the more motivated and happier you usually feel. Reading negative news all day on your smartphone on the other hand can make you feel lonely, fearful or even stimulate feelings of hatred. I don’t mean you shouldn’t watch the news and stay informed what’s going on in the world. You absolutely should! But some people tend to overdo it and start reading negative article after negative article, bringing themselves into a spiral of negativity. There’s a term that has been coined for this kind of behavior, it is called “doom scrolling.”
That’s why we should all try to think and speak more positive. It does have a healthy effect and makes you feel better.
So let’s start with a list of positive words that start with the letter x. There aren’t as many as with other letters, but that shouldn’t be surprising considering not that many words start with an x anyway.
