Must do it!
- Think about what you want (that's a goal), not about what you don't want (that's worry). Goal driven activity requires positive thinking.
- Smile at strangers. Although this may seem a little weird, it actually makes you feel more positive and happy. You may even brighten the other person's day.
- Don't give up. Good habits can replace bad ones by continuous perseverance.
- Every morning, look in the mirror and think about five good qualities you have.
- Notice when you are being negative, and change your thoughts to something more positive. You need to correct yourself to get better.
- Volunteer. Helping others leads to a happier outlook on life.
- Getting your blood flowing by exercising increases your energy. When we have energy, we think positively.
- Encourage others. It's hard to be pessimistic when you are trying to lift someone else's spirits up.
- Find some positive things to say and repeat them often. Use statements such as "I am a very positive person," "I am very capable," "I can do anything when I put my mind to work on it," and "I can do it."
- When you feel like you're about to break, take a deep breath, count to 10, have a drink of water and smile. Even if the smile is forced, it is still a smile, and it will make you feel better. Focus on the good things.
