They'd rather fill their day with joy than unhappiness.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Dec 03, 2018
It may seem impossible to have a carefree attitude in today’s world. But the truth is, you can still be carefree without being oblivious to the world around you. You can have a positive attitude while being an activist, or you can try to see the good in things even while trying to change them.
There’s a lightness in people who are carefree, even if they’re not entirely care-free. It's because of their attitude and the way they choose to live their life. They accept their flaws and know they’re not perfect; they understand that things will not always go their way, but they’re able to make peace with it.
In astrology, there are a few carefree zodiac signs who tend not to live in the past, nor do they obsess over mistakes that they or someone else in their life made. These people find happiness in small moments. They don’t need expensive gifts to feel loved. They’re grateful for what they already have without mourning for what they probably will never have.
When someone is carefree it doesn't mean that they don’t care, it’s that they’re open to all possibilities. Realizing goals, achievement, and growing as a person don’t always have to be a struggle or have causalities. When you have a carefree attitude, you’re flexible and open to new opportunities, even if they weren't on your original plan.
1. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
How do Geminis manage to be carefree? They are well aware that bad things will happen, but they know they can handle what comes at them. Geminis prepare and take precautions so that when things happen they're not completely thrown off guard.
However, they don't worry about the things that could go wrong. They're confident and try to look at the world with wonder without waiting for disaster to happen. They've released the anxiety of worrying about what will be and try to live in the now.
2. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians are always looking forward. They're excited about the possibilities and strive to have new experiences, try new things, and meet new people. They tend to look at the bright side of life and often have a childlike wonder at the world.
They know there's a lot of negativity in the world, but that's not their focus. Sagittarius embrace change and continually grow as people. They don't like having too many things that tie them down and always want to be able to discover and explore new things.
3. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are like Sagittarius in that they're so busy having fun and trying new things that it's not natural for them to be weighed down by negativity. They make a choice to be carefree, confident, and make bold choices. There's rarely a dull moment in the life of an Aries.
If an Aries has laughed a lot, spent time with people that they loved, and had fun, then it's a good day. This zodiac sign is known for being versatile and open to the fun opportunities that are presented to them.
4. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos tend to create their own reality by deciding what their day is going to look like each morning. They're open to whatever good or fun thing comes their way. It helps that they're spontaneous, fun-loving, and tend to see the best in other people.
They make friends easily and everyday magic seems to happen all the time when they're around. Leos have a dazzling personality, and while they take their responsibilities seriously, they don't get overwhelmed by negativity.
5. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces are carefree because they give others the space and permission to be who they are. Pisces doesn't try to change people and they don't get frustrated when those who don't act a certain way.
Pisces feel all their feels but they're in charge of their own emotions. They know that things don't have to be difficult in order for them to feel worthy enough. They know that people aren't perfect and that's what makes them interesting.
