ABOUT

Positively Present is a creative endeavor launched by Dani DiPirro (that’s me!) in 2009 to see what would happen if I attempted to live a more positive, present life (something that does not come easily to my anxious, negative brain!) and shared my experiences with others.

At a particularly low point in early 2009, I found myself searching for self-help advice online. One article encouraged me to write down everything I wanted to feel in my life. After writing pages and pages of words, I was asked to circle my top two.

I circled “positive” and “present.”

And that’s how Positively Present was born! At the time, blogs were all the rage, so I decided to start a blog, documenting my attempts to live a more positively present life. For me, “positively present” means making the most of the moment, whatever that might be. Being positively present isn’t about pretending things are great when they’re not; it’s about doing what you can to accept (and, if possible, embrace) where you are right now.

Since 2009, Positively Present has grown from an optimistic blog to an inspiring collection of books, workbooks, products, and more — all designed to help others learn what I have: that life really is better if you strive to live positively in the present.

Positively Present is dedicated to positive personal development through inspirational words and vibrant, colorful content. On the site, you’ll find my advice for dealing with life’s challenges, inspiration for staying positive even when it’s difficult, and resources for staying positive and present.
