Positivity is the key to life in general. Instead of focusing on everything that is negative try to think of things that would make it seem less negative. For example: I failed my test in class today my parents are going to be so mad! Change that and think, well if I failed this test, I know what I am bad at and what I am good at. If I work a bit harder there is a possibility that I can pass the next test.

1. Meditate or do yoga. 2. Smile. 3. Surround yourself with positive people. 4. Change the tone of your thoughts from negative to positive. 5. Don’t play the victim. You create your life—take responsibility. 6. Help someone else. 7. Remember that no one is perfect and let yourself move forward. 8. Sing. 9. List five things that you are grateful for right now. 10. Reflect on positive quotes. Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

If you’re constantly telling yourself “I can’t” you may convince yourself that’s the truth. Replace these negative words with positive ones instead. Tell yourself you will do your best or that you will try your hardest instead. Don’t let negative thoughts and feelings overwhelm you when you’re feeling down. Even if it’s only for a few hours a day, push your negativity aside and only focus on the good things in your life. Try filling your thoughts with words that make you feel strong, happy and in control of your life. Make a concentrated effort to focus on these words rather than those that make you feel like you are failing or incompetent.

Reframing your thoughts can be one way! Along with challenging them and replacing them with positive thoughts/affirmations!
