Remove All Negative Influence
- Avoid negative influences. Even if it's a family member or close friend, we must not tolerate anyone's bad behavior. Steer clear from it so that it will not rub off on us.
- Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Look for a bright side in every situation. We will find that there are surprising benefits within them. If we do this long enough, it will become habitual, and it will make a tremendous difference in improving our positive thinking skills. Say "I can!" more than "I can't!" Remember, everything can be framed positively; make a relentless effort to do so.
- Even when we don't get what we want, we gain valuable experience. Experiences are often much more valuable than material things. Material things slowly waste away; experiences stay with us, growing, our entire lives.
- There are both positive and negative aspects to most situations. We get to choose which ones we will focus on. We can try to catch ourselves when we're being negative and try thinking the opposite
- There's no sense in worrying about the negatives if they cannot be changed. Some parts of life are "unfair." That's because life just "is." If we waste energy and happiness on the things we can't change, we'll only make ourselves more frustrated.
- Smile. Many studies have demonstrated that even a forced smile can lift one's mood! We may also share positivity with others by flashing them with a brilliant smile
- Use the Law of Attraction. Our activity and thoughts are positive or negative like magnets. As we avoid dealing with a problem, then it continues as is — or gets worse. Our own negativity rules the day. But, the more we think positively, then the more proactively we will act and reach goals and ways to overcome and accept positive options — and those will bring their rewards.
- Surround yourself with positive activities. Whether watching movies or shopping with friends, you can try to occupy your day in a positive way. For example, entertainment should always be positive. A funny movie makes us laugh whereas a sad movie will make us cry and/or feel bad, although a "sad" movie can also be uplifting in a beautiful way.
- Do things you love to do. It sounds simple, but it's hard to execute sometimes. Your life may be very busy, so carve some tasks into your day that consistently make you happy. They may involve:
- Listening to music. Listen to the genre you like -- genres of music include rock, pop, and jazz.
- Reading. Reading is good for you, and it can also help you understand who characters act in a book. Another thing is, it can help you learn new information (if you're reading a nonfiction book).
- Creative expression, e.g. painting, writing, origami, etc.
- Exercise, sports, etc.
