2. Positive Vibes.
Just like any other human emotion, positivity can be contagious. Make it a

point to surround yourself with people who think and act in an uplifting manner.
Even if you are more inclined to negativity at first, you will find your spirits lifted
by their energy.
3. Give Thanks.
There are certainly many things in your life to be thankful for – and you

should do so on a regular basis. Stopping to realize everything you appreciate in
your life makes you automatically feel more positive. When we take things for
granted is when the negativity starts to grab control. It can help to write out a
‘thankful’ list every so often to remind yourself off all the good that surrounds
you.

4. Exercise
Maybe the most powerful tool in continuing the think positive is a
consistent habit of physical activity. Your brain produces chemicals called
endorphins during exercise which give the body a natural high. Beyond the
chemical benefit is the psychological boost you get from setting an exercise goal
and following through on it. You will also look slim and fit which can boost your
confidence and mood. All around, exercise is simply a great step toward positive

thinking.
5. Take Charge
By stepping out and being in control of a situation, you will be more

inclined to feel positive about it. Don’t be afraid of failure – use taking control as
an opportunity to put your positive thinking into practice in the real world. With a
good attitude behind you, you are already most of the way toward becoming a
reliable leader.
6. Keep at It
Positivity is quick to fade if we turn back at the first sign of trouble. Before

you start any new endeavor, commit to being in it for the long haul. With that
conviction in mind, you won’t be put off by early challenges or failures. Accept
the fact that you will get knocked down along the way, and your mindset will be
able to stay positive even in the hard times. If you are looking for a free and easy
ride to success, you might want to change your expectations. Thinking positively
means understanding you will face obstacles, and having the confidence and

energy to overcome them.
