Ineffable
Ineffable means too great or extreme to be described or expressed in words. It reflects that feeling of awe such as what you feel when your first child is born.
Serendipity
Serendipity is used to describe the occurrence and development of events by chance in a beneficial or happy way. That stroke of luck comes at exactly the right time, out of the blue.
Ethereal
Ethereal means extremely light and delicate so that something appears not to be of this world. I associate this word with heavenly and beautiful things, such as dragonfly wings or a voice that gives you chills.
Iridescent
Iridescent is a word to describe seeing luminous colors that change when seen from different angles. This positive word reminds me of carefree days blowing bubbles and watching them float away.
Epiphany
Epiphany is that sudden moment of realization or revelation. That light-bulb moment often changes your life. Everyone needs an epiphany now and then.
Luminescence
Luminescence is when a substance gives off the light without being heated such as phosphorescence and fluorescence. The fun of chasing lightning bugs or stirring up the sea and being rewarded with an eerie green glow.
Eloquence
Eloquence is persuasive and fluent in writing and speaking. Don’t we all wish to be eloquent at the right times? What a bonus when you can give a speech and engage your entire audience!
Sonder
Sonder is the realization that every random passerby is living a vivid, complex life full of their own ambitions, worries, friends, and routines, in which you might be an extra on a park bench or a lit office on their route. As a people watcher, this positive word resonates.
Effervescence
Effervescence means enthusiastic and vivacious, and also the bubbles in your fizzy drink. This reminds me of the excitement of a child, perhaps even tasting their first fizzy drink.
Magnanimous
Magnanimous means being forgiving or generous to someone who is not a friend or is less powerful than you. I think we all need to be magnanimous and this world would be a better place.
Benevolent
Benevolent means being kindly and well-meaning. Similar to magnanimous, except this kindness being expressed to anyone. Being benevolent has its own rewards, and it makes you feel great too.
Amusement
Amusement means enjoying entertainment or finding something funny. The world needs more laughter and we should be able to find amusement in most situations, even laugh at ourselves.
Contentment
Contentment is a state of satisfaction and happiness. I believe that for most of us, life is about striving for contentment. Appreciate the small things to find contentment in your daily life.
Determination
Determination is a firmness of purpose. Achieving anything in life takes determination. Set the goal and succeed through determination.
Dignity
Dignity is being worthy of respect or honor. I like to believe everyone should be afforded basic dignity as a right especially our elders, who have so much to share if we listen.
Flourishing
Flourishing means thriving, developing successfully and rapidly. We all want something to flourish: a flourishing bank balance, perhaps a flourishing business, a flourishing garden. What a versatile and evocative word.
Harmonious
Harmonious has three lovely meanings tuneful, forming a pleasing whole, free from dissent and disagreement. I like the peaceful feel this word has, like music from a waterfall.
Lustrous
Lustrous is basically a nicer word for shining. I like to think of this positive word as being used for hair and eyes, giving a description extra depth and reflection. Who wouldn’t want lustrous hair?
Noble
Noble has a number of meanings, but I like the one which refers to a person showing high moral principles or good personal qualities. I like to think that our aim as humans should be to strive to be noble.
Respect
Respect is the feeling of admiration due to their abilities, achievements, or qualities. It also refers to giving the necessary regard for other people’s rights and feelings. Although for most people, respect is something that is earned, we should offer basic respect to all humans.
Laughter
Laughter is the sound of someone laughing. This sounds more than almost any other has a way of lifting spirits. Laughter is contagious and makes us feel good.
Tranquility
Tranquility is the state of being calm and tranquil. We all need this sort of peace in our lives now and then to regroup.
Unconditional
Unconditional means there are no conditions attached. I prefer this word as part of the phrase unconditional love. A love that transcends everything, there are no ifs and buts, a love that offers everything without demanding anything.
Smiling
Smiling is laughing in a smaller, quieter way. Turning those corners of the mouth up showing a happy look. Smiling is also contagious, and when it is genuine, it lights up your whole face.
Hope
Hope is the expectation that something will happen. Even when situations are dire, keeping hope alive is what makes the human spirit fight through the worst of situations. Never lose hope.

The power of positive words – To me, a positive word equals a positive mindset. The language you use can change the path of your entire day.
Positivity in terms of the words that you use day-to-day is one of the best ways to improve your state of mind, yet it is a way that we often overlook.
This is why I am here today to tell you the importance of positive words in my life and the ways that I try to use them.
1. Meditation to increase the power of positive words
One way that I try to stay positive is to meditate as and when I can. This links to positive words because while I am being mindful of the thoughts and feelings that come and go, I try to keep as many positive words flowing through my mind.
Whether it is just sitting down, closing your eyes, and taking deep breaths while going through positive language in your mind. Possibly downloading an app for mindfulness, reading a book about it, or even using podcasts, there are endless ways to incorporate positivity into your life. If you use any of these methods you will find that the positive words will begin to flow into your world with little to no effort.
2. Compliments to express the power of positive words
When someone compliments you, you find your mood picking up entirely, don’t you? So why not gift that feeling to someone else.
It is important to let the people around you know that they have done something well, one of the best ways to do this is affirmation through positive language.
Another person that you must remember to shower with positivity is yourself. If you’re willing to raise someone else’s love for themselves, you have to include the one person who is always there. Yes, you!
3. Rewards to validate the power of positive words
All the way through your life there are always rewards systems. For example, behaving well in school often wound up coming back to you in the form of a certificate, trophy, or another prize. These objects would always be plastered from top to bottom with positive words. This validation of good behavior, positive contributions, or effort in school would be what every child wanted. This is reflected forever in many other situations.
Reward yourself, tell yourself all of the positive impacts that you have made. Let your mind go and explore all of the possible positive words that you could use to describe your achievements.
Setting goals can be helpful in this aspect, useful objectives that can help yourself and others.
4. Times of stress
As a student who has gone through their GCSE’s, AS’ and being a hair away from beginning my A-Level exams, stress is particularly rife.
It is extremely easy to get yourself in a slight huff during exam season, this is why keeping the vibes positive is important in situations like that, especially within education.
Writing a list of positive words is something that I have found incredibly helpful in stressful situations. As I said at the start, positive words can completely transform your mindset. Times that require an expanded mindset are the ones that you need the most positivity.
Overall, I truly believe that using positive language day-to-day is potentially one of the most underrated ways to improve your life.
By sharing my opinion on positive words and how they affect me, I hope that others will be inspired to delve into their own use of productive language.

This week’s positive word is
FORGIVE
By Victoria J.Brown
To forgive will make you stronger.
Some people believe forgiveness is weak. They feel as if they are saying it’s okay for people to treat them disrespectfully. They may feel they are allowing people to walk over them. But think of it in another way …
How does this lack of forgiveness make you feel?
Tired? No energy?
Do you feel WEAK?
Trust me when I say, forgiving someone will only make you stronger. In forgiving, you will find peace.
Forgiving someone will actually lift the cloud from your life, it will enable you to see life from a brighter perspective. If you were to believe that everything DOES happen for a reason, ask yourself, why has this happened?
Ask yourself, what can you learn from this experience? What can you take forward into your future? We must learn to live a happy life and find peace. Forgiveness will enable us to do that.
What some people don’t see, because they are so angry, is that lack of forgiveness is only hurting them. It doesn’t actually hurt the other person. Many times you will find the other person continuing to live their life, not hurting or dwelling, it’s the person who is holding a grudge that is hurting.
Here’s a quick exercise for you:
I love therapeutic writing, it can really help when you feel like something is on your mind and churning you over. So take a piece of paper and start writing. In this piece of writing concentrate on the following things:
- What this person has done to you?
- What are you gaining from NOT forgiving them?
- What have you learned from the situation?
- Imagine thanking this person for enabling you to learn something new.
- How can you move on from here? What steps can you put in place?
- How would it feel to take hold of this situation, bring it close and love the fact that this has happened because you have learned something new?
- How wonderful would it feel to let this go?
- Describe how you would feel if you could love this experience and move on.
Really take the time to write down your emotions and what you have learned from this experience.
Don’t be the person who is wasting your life with anger … replace it with love and awesome things will happen!

When generally talking about someone’s personality, the point of concern should always be about what makes that person unique and different, perhaps even makes them stand out from the rest.
How many times has it occurred to you that specific characteristics about people attract or repel against our nature without us even noticing? That’s why relying on first impressions can summarize someone’s attitude, behavior, personality, appearance, and even their intellect.
Individual differences usually strike at some point or another; identifying them would require considerable attention. In order to actually describe people accurately and remember what aspects and traits about them impressed you, comparing and categorizing people is made easier. Note that it is not only differences but commonalities as well, which refers to the characteristics that interest people and draw them towards you. In this manner, personality, thoughts, feelings and appearances can be described using several adjectives. Listed below is an extensive list of words to describe someone’s physical appearance, personality, behaviors and so on.
(Please note that although words have been categorized into positive and negative; your own understanding of certain adjectives being positive or negative may differ. This articles does not intend to judge any quality.)

My friend says she wants me to describe her in one word and I think she does not care about anything most of the time. So I’m looking for a word that describes that.

I can’t find a noun for that. But I can think of some adjectives:
Apathetic derived from ODO
Which not interested or concerned. Having or showing little or no emotion.
The synonym may be:
Unfeeling
Which means lacking physical sensation or sensitivity.
Or:
Indifferent
Which means having no particular interest or sympathy; unconcerned.
