In all things, find the positive. The silver lining is there, you just need to look a little more. See things differently than you want to see them. Assess them with possibility.

Great Movies Are Worth Watching
Get a list of them and start watching one per week. Don’t watch drivel. Watch classics and very highly reviewed and rated ones. Life’s too short for drivel.

Go For A Long Walk
Either on your own or with someone. Get outdoors and walk for your daily activity. Go for 1-2 hours. Think new thoughts, consider different ideas, think opposite perspectives and just be fine doing this.
The fresh air, exercise and movement as well as the time and space to have many thoughts will make you feel quite amazing.

Sometimes You Need A Day Off
It’s ok to have a complete nothing day. You don’t have to plan for it. You can simply have one. Maybe even two.
I wouldn’t go for three in a row though.
Enjoy.

Stay Future Focused
Keep focused on your short and long term plans. Have a positive picture of your life and of you celebrating your great achievements so you can keep a good mindset, especially when you are going through the mud.

Note down what age you’ll be and what your health and fitness will be, your weight and / or trouser size, your finances (including debt levels and savings and investments), your relationships (partner, kids, parents, friends), where you live and how (lifestyle, spending budget) and finally how you’ll spend your waking hours.
Write it down on paper so you get a great picture of what life will be like so you can work towards living that great life!

What Brings You Calm?
Is there a place, smell, person, situation, level of savings or expertise or a holiday destination that brings you calm? Get a sense of what that is and make note of it. Be clear about it so you can get yourself into that calm state whenever you want to. Make it habit.
Even if it is not somewhere or something close by, you can take a photo of it and look at that photo. You’ll be able to replicate the effect to some degree and that will get stronger with practice and repetition.

Forward Thinking
Think forward and not backward. Accept what has happened in the past and think about how you would like to steer your life going forward.
Focus on what could be in the future and move toward that. Take one step at a time and press on.
A future vision of your life and the world should be almost entirely positive. As a vision, it doesn’t require any negative aspects. If you’re holding negative thoughts then you have the opportunity to change those in your mind.
Use forward thinking to take you forward, toward the life you want to be living.

Take Responsibility

Exasperation
How we hold to our beliefs is fascinating. We hold on and hold on until finally something happens. Something changes our mind. We may see something different, maybe from a different angle, perspective or setting and boom, we decide enough is enough.
We hit exasperation and say that’s it. We can only hold on to old thoughts for so long. With new evidence, the truth or a slight opening of our mind, we can see the world in a different way and want that better reality.
