3. Transform your thinking

Which of the two are you to yourself: an enemy or a friend? Keep in mind that only positive thinking can help you see change. Change the way you speak and, instead of negative words use positive ones. Paraphrase your negative comment into more positive. Let’s say, instead of saying that you “messed up again as usual” say that you “will try to do all possible to succeed next time”. It takes some time and practice to get used to thinking positively if all your life you have been thinking in a different way. But changing the way you think is one of the most powerful tools that will help you live a happier life.

4. Circle of friends

In most cases we tend to behave the way the people around us act and behave. Look around and see who surrounds you. Are those people ‘energy sucker’? If so, try and avoid such people. They bring negativity into your life. Be wise and spend more time with people who inspire you and others, who help and support each other. Stay alert and watch how your current friends react to change. They might provoke you or drag you after themselves. Do not give up and do your best to resist their negative influence. Soon they will either leave you on your own or join you and become better following your example. It’s great if nobody stops you from change. It’s even better if there are people who are capable of stimulating and motivating you.
