Train your mind in the same manner that it focuses only on the positive. It is altogether different way of looking at things
Positive comparison
Compare yourself with those who have less than you, instead of making negative comparisons with those who have what you lack in your life. You will realize that you are much more blessed than others are. This feeling would change the way you look at life. It will make you more positive in life.

Learn to say thanks
We have so many people around us who do countless things for us. Do we ever express gratitude towards them? By showing your gratitude to them, you can make them feel special. Imagining or feeling thankful within you would not serve the purpose. You should give words to your feelings. Saying thanks would surely bring about more positivity in your surroundings. Plan a way to say a special thanks to your parents, friends and colleagues. It just takes a moment. It will motive them to be there by your side as you acknowledge their support.
Keep a record
Keep a record of each little blessing you have ever had in your life. It would make your life fun. It would make you feel good when you feel down and low. It works as a great stress buster as you could review the list whenever you come across a crisis.
Be content
Once you develop an attitude of gratitude, you will see your life changing along with it. You start living a content and peaceful life.
