Practice Daily Gratitude
One of the easiest ways to create a positive mindset quickly is to take a few minutes out of your day and write down a few things you are grateful for.
It’s so simple and really does work to bring you into a happier and more relaxed mindset.
These things could be as simple as being thankful for your healthy baby, your family, having your dog to love, or for being able to talk to your best friend today, being grateful for the house you are living in or the nice outfit you are wearing today.
The best time to do this daily gratitude activity is when you wake up or right before going to sleep.
It only takes 3 to 5 minutes of your time and you can easily keep a habit of the positive daily task by using this gratitude book.
Stop Playing The Victim
Stop blaming other people or situations for your problems. Take responsibility for your life.
If you don’t like how something is going, think of what you can currently control and change those things for the better rather than blaming someone or something else for your failures.
Yes, some things are out of your control. But you can always find a way to change a situation or outcome by how you react to it.
Choose to react with positivity by thinking of ways to fix it and you will grow from it.
Focus on what you DO have rather than what you DON’T have
This ties back into your daily gratitude. Being grateful for every physical and emotional thing (like relationships) you’ve been given in life, even if it’s something small; will lift your spirit and create more joy in your life.
If you’re always focused on what you want but don’t have, you’ll be thinking negatively and making it harder to bring those things into your life.
It’s almost as if you’ve built a brick wall between you and what you desire.
When you focus on what you do have and have gratitude toward it, you are breaking down that brick wall. That can now bring you happiness and enable those things you’ve been dreaming of to come to you.
Whether it’s a new job, a pay raise, a nicer house, a new friend – the list goes on. Focus on how happy you are to have the money you have now, and the house you have now, and the relationships you have now.
Whatever it may be! Be grateful and happy to have it. More wonderful things are on their way.
Stop caring about what others think
In my opinion, this is one of the hardest to do out of all these tips mentioned. I’m still working on this one but improving every day!
Caring about what others think of you will only hold you back. Be yourself and don’t worry if others are going to judge you for what you do in your life.
Everyone has their opinions, and everyone will be judging.
But so what!
You don’t have to be the same as someone else! You are unique. Get in tune with yourself and do things that make you truly happy.

Don’t take things personally
If someone says or does something hurtful or negative toward you, don’t take it personally.
They are only saying it because they aren’t getting what they want. They’re also in a negative mind space wanting to bring yours down with them.
Learn to let the negative words and actions of others roll on by you. This will help keep you on track with your goals and keep you from letting words of others bring you down or hold you back.
I learned a great deal about this from a book called The Four Agreements that helps you look past your self-limiting thoughts and beliefs.
I’ve read this book at least three times. It’s good to go back to every once in a while for reminders of how to not let the negativity of others bother you.
Stop comparing yourself to others
Everyone in this world is different. We are all at different places in our lives, we all want different things, and all have different goals.
While some may be similar, they are all at least slightly different. So, stop comparing yourself to others and what they have in comparison to yourself.
In most cases, it will only bring your energy and mood down and encourage negative self-talk.
Just focus on yourself and your goals and what you need to do to get these goals accomplished.
Read short daily positive inspiration.
To keep you going with a positive and upbeat mindset, it helps to read a few affirmations, quotes, or mantras during the day. A perfect way to incorporate this is through this book that has new quotes and positive inspiration for every day of the year.
It also makes for an amazing gift for someone you care about to keep them thinking positive daily.
