1.
Disturb your way of
thinking. Optimum can be learned by
challenging negative self-talk. You can do that by identifying your negative
belief about the event and by challenging its validity and offering alternate
beliefs.
2.
Find something meaningful. Having a purpose and engaging in
something meaningful is the key to remaining hopeful and happy.
3.
Count your blessings. Being positive is a powerful tool to
stay positive. A simple diary of all the events in your day will help your mind
remember all the good things that happened to you if it tends to dwell on the
negative.
4.
Take charge of your life. A pessimistic outlook may lead to feelings
of helplessness and despair in the face of a setback. Take a relook at the
situation and come up with things you can do to change the situation or at
least your reaction to it.
5.
Be thankful and relax. 10 to 15 minutes of mindfulness or
relaxation exercise to calm the mind and help positive thoughts come more
freely.
6.
Develop a support system. Having a good network of
friends and well-wishers, who offer support and perspective when things go
wrong ensures that you remain in good spirits most of the time.
