winter fogIt’s harder to stay positive during difficult times, partly because we become so enmeshed in the situation that all we can see is the problem. One way to move forward is, ironically, to step away from the issue. Take a breather, and give yourself a day off to focus on things that make you happy and enrich your life. Then, tackle the problem with a fresh focus.

You’ll be able to keep that clear focus only if you intentionally surround yourself with positive influences. People who will help you find a solution and cheer you on will help more than those who focus on the negative aspects. When difficulties seem insurmountable, stop and count your blessings. It may sound trite, but when you compare the roadblock you’re experiencing with all the positive things in your life, it won’t seem like such a significant issue.

You can help yourself have the mental strength to look at problems optimistically by paying attention to your thoughts. Don’t play out negative scenarios in your head because that will bring you down, and you’ll start to expect a negative outcome. Tell yourself that, in time, you’ll find a way through. Always remember that, eventually, the whole thing will be in the past.

Working on self-improvement is not only personally fulfilling, but the success you achieve will lift your spirits.

Seek activities that give you a sense of accomplishment. Your problem won’t loom as large when you look at it next to these other things that are going right in your life. Always keep a positive attitude and expect the best outcome.

Quickly move on from discussing the problem, and talk about solutions. Focus on your long-term goals and the objectives you need to accomplish to get there. Avoid spending time in negative environments that will tarnish your optimism. Do your best to maintain a positive environment by turning to positive people that will help you find a way through the current crisis.
