217 Positive Words That Start With The Letter “J”

Jamboree, Joy, Jolly

There is something about the letter “J” that makes me happy. I’m not sure why, but maybe it’s because there are a lot of “J” words that are happy words. I listed three examples of just such words above.

You can’t think of a jamboree, or being joyful, or jolly without being in a positive mindset. So I can’t think of a better letter to use to emphasize positive words. The letter “J” gives us plenty!

In this article, I am going to point out and discuss some particular “J” words that fall into a number of different categories.

However, just stating some “J” words and their meanings really doesn’t do anything to improve our lives, and that’s really what we want to achieve.

 

Where the magic happens is when we take a word, look at its meaning and then explore how it can make us better people, help us to have better relationships with our friends and family, or increase our success and satisfaction at work.

So, join me while I look at “J” words, and find out what can inspire and motivate you!

Positive Action Words That Start With “J”

We’re going to begin by taking a look at positive “J” words that are action words. Action words, also known as verbs, reflect a state of being, or doing something.

The first positive “J” action word that pops into my mind is “jump”. What a delightful word.

As a child, I spent a lot of time jumping rope. It was such fun to chant our rhymes, and jump rope with my friends.

Often as adults we set aside these kinds of activities, but they are fun and liberating!

You don’t have to jump rope, but jumping around in a fitness class is heaps of fun and is really good for our fitness!

Join - another great “J” action word - a gym and set yourself up to achieve some fitness goals.

Continuing in the fitness vein, jogging on your own might be more to your liking.

It can be incredibly helpful for clearing your mind, and of course, has great fitness benefits.

Action words can be wonderful motivators because they often reflect movement.

Take your positive “J” action words and use them to really make a positive change in your life.

To do this takes more than identifying the words that resonate with you.

To really make a change in your life, think about how you want to incorporate those words into your daily routines.

Maybe you want to share them with a close friend and talk about how you are going to make those words inspire a positive change.

Inspirational Words Beginning With The Letter “J”

Have you ever heard the phrase, "life is a journey"? I think that the word journey is incredibly inspiring and when we consider inspirational "J" words it tops my list.

The concept that life is a journey is inspirational because it reminds us that we don't need to get it right the first time, or have it all figured out.

Life should take us on many twists and turns, and not be a simple straight line.

This does mean, of course, that we will have uneven terrain to navigate, mountains to climb over, and rough waters to cross, but it is through these tough challenges that we learn and grow.

I used to be a person who always wanted to get it right and I didn't like to take risks, but as I have gotten older and dealt with many unanticipated challenges, I have come to realize that crappy things are going to happen to all of us, no matter how well we plan, and we become stronger because of the issues we deal with.

So, take the journey with me through Inspirational "J" words and see where it takes you.
