1. Seek positive friends.
A negative social circle will act as an echo chamber for bad ideas. A positive social circle will also act as an echo chamber, but one that supports your dreams, so choose your friends carefully.

Find people who reflect the values you want to adopt. Join groups online and go to networking or social events focused on personal growth.
As your own mind starts to change, it’ll become easier to connect with more positive people.

2. Challenge your thoughts.
When old thinking comes up, as it will, it’s not enough to try and ignore it. We need to challenge our beliefs.

Weigh your thoughts against the evidence. If they crumble under scrutiny, then explore why you believe them in the first place.

3. Consuming positive media daily will alter your perspective through osmosis.
“Positive media” is anything that emphasizes the good in life, or how to improve our living standards and the living standards of others.

New mindsets are exactly the same; if you immerse yourself in personal growth content every day, it will change the language of your mind.
That language is your self-dialogue, the way you speak to yourself at every moment, and it’s habitual.

4. Volunteer.
Volunteering to help other people can make a huge impact on how you feel about yourself and your view of the world.

By focusing on how you can help someone else, you’ll draw your attention away from your own woes.
It becomes easy to develop a positive mindset when you’re looking for new ways to make someone else’s situation better.

5. 5. Abstain from all “bad news.”
It makes sense that most of the mainstream media focuses on bad news, though, because tragedy sells.
It doesn’t make sense for us to sit around stewing over this bad news.

It’s certainly not going to allow for an optimal mindset, one that’s focused on the best that life has to offer.
We can’t change the bad things happening at any given moment, but if we put our attention into things we can change, our lives will improve.

6. This is about looking at the possibilities and then doing something to make it happen.
Forward thinking will move your focus away from where you don’t want to be to where could be.

Don’t know what the right steps are?
Don’t worry, just identify the first thing you could do to start on the path, then do it.
Even if it’s a mistake, you’ll still make progress, and that will keep you focused on creating positive change. Never allow paralysis by analysis.

7. Adopt a healthy lifestyle.
A healthy body will support a healthy mind. During the most difficult time of my personal struggles, bad health was a major obstacle. Chronic fatigue could wipe me out for whole days.

Look at how you sleep, what you eat, and your activity levels to identify anything that could be sapping your energy.
Sometimes laziness is just fatigue.

8. Send thank you notes.
The simple gesture of sending a thank you note can be empowering. Not only does it feel good, a thank you note creates goodwill in other people.

Thank you notes will also strengthen your relationships and connections, because people like to feel appreciated.
It doesn’t really matter what they did; any small gesture you appreciated, from good service to a favor, is a candidate.

9. A great way to start the day is by making a mental list of each thing we’re looking forward to;
it creates a feeling of anticipation and excitement that creates momentum for the entire day.

Every morning I play personal growth videos or audio books.
By focusing on the positive messages coming from this content at the beginning of the day, it’s much easier to be happy and focused.
My work gets done more quickly, and it doesn’t seem so hard either.

10. Write a wins checklist.
So you started on good note; now finish on a great note by making a mental list of the day’s wins.
It doesn’t have to be monumental; the point of the exercise is just to keep your focus on the best your day’s experience.

Keeping track of losses can help you improve, but dwelling on them will kill your motivation and momentum.
Finish strong and it will be much easier to wake up feeling happy.
