I am addicted to happiness! I use to live by my saying, “Woo them with kindness”. Be nice and hand out compliments when the conversation takes a negative turn. People can’t battle kindness with anger for very long. Then I started making it a mission to have a simple uplifting impact on everyone I came in contact with. Standing in line for coffee I would tell the woman standing next to me, “You look great today”! A positive comment can completely shift a person’s attitude. I became more aware of people’s dispositions and began to embrace the ability to change their mood.

I want you to know that I don’t go through life living on a cloud. I am an average person. I get up and go to work every day like most other average people. I worry about the things most average people worry about. The average person’s disposition needs nurturing. I think this sometimes gets forgotten in our desire to fix the big things that are wrong in our world. My hope is that if all of us average people had just a little more compassion and a little more positivity in our lives; we could come together and do much bigger things.

These are some of the thoughts and reasons behind why we came up with Create a Positive Mood. Create a Positive Mood exists to encourage positive thinking. Our goal is to create campaigns that inspire people to have a positive impact on the state of mind of those around them. We combine a selfless way of giving and receiving to increase state of mind awareness amongst individuals resulting in the creation of a positive mood.

We launched our first campaign September 2008. The Apple iPod Create a Positive Mood campaign consists of a red iPod Shuffle loaded with 80 feel good songs submitted by various people across the World. The iPod comes in a red silk box with a black ribbon. Each box has instructions on how to use the iPod and rules that must be followed when an individual receives the iPod and rules for when they give it away. A Receiver of an Apple iPod will enjoy the songs for 3 days and then become a Giver; giving the Apple iPod to a new Receiver. We encourage Givers to seek out people that will embrace the Create a Positive Mood message.

Our first campaign has been well received. We have uplifted people from all walks of life. Some of our Receivers have recently suffered major sicknesses, car accidents, unemployment, divorce and even death. Other Receivers are simply positive people that are carrying our message out to others. We hope you get the opportunity to experience one of our campaigns!

Be Positive!
