“You try to stay motivated, but real life seems to drag you down. Here’s how to fly above its reach.”
To stay positive and on track, you need to appreciate your achievements and refresh your perspective regularly. At the end of the day, write down all the positives of your day. Even if you’d deem it a -bad day- overall, don’t allow yourself to go there. Find the bright spot even if it’s something seemingly small. Focus only on the positives and write them down. You’re likely to find more than you imagined. As time goes on, you’ll start to make mental notes through the course of the day when something positive happens (so you can write it down later), which further boosts your positive outlook. Engaging in positive thoughts will improve your mental well-being, energize your soul, build your confidence, and increase your happiness factor.
