Every word, thought or situation can send you down a different track so start your day in a positive way. You may as well choose a good track to start on.
When you wake up, you could smile. Then remember to be grateful for being allowed to play the game for another day.
You could get out of bed, and seize the day – carpe diem style.
Take six minutes to go through the six minute miracle morning. This will help start your day in a positive way.
You could also try to be the most positive and enthusiastic person you know for the rest of the day. What would that look like? Try it. You might enjoy it. It is a good personal challenge to try to develop a few days a week.
If a word, thought or situation triggers you and starts to send you down a less positive detour, recognise it and restart from there.
One way to keep a cheery disposition, and save yourself some precious time every day, is to not read, watch or listen to any news stories. They are the best negative programming if you want to be less happy rapidly.
Try swapping news (radio, tv, paper, online, etc) for something positive like an inspiring podcast, an uplifting book, or some motivating YouTube videos.
Try one or all of these ideas above at least once. You never know what might set you on a different, more positive path.
