1) When you’re in what seems like a negative situation, find what’s good.
If you’ve had a setback or failure then things might look bleak.
And so negative thoughts may start to crop up and threaten to fill your view of this situation.
To counteract that ask yourself questions.

Question yourself:

- What’s one thing I can learn from this?
- How would my best friend support and help me in this situation?

2) Remind Yourself: People don’t care that much about what you say or do.
It’s easy to fall into negative thoughts when you think about what people may say or think if you do or do not do something.
And so you zap your personal power and may trap yourself in analysis paralysis.

This realization can help you to set yourself free from the constraints you may create in your own mind.

9) Don’t let the vague fears drag you down.
One common mistake people make when it comes to fears is to become scared and run away from them instead of taking a closer look.
It's completely natural to get scared but most get too much scared.

What you can do is to have a strong 'why' for doing it.
Let your why motivate and push you to do it despite of the fear.
Remember that taking action is the best way to counter your fear.

10) Be grateful for the things you often take for granted.
When we get negative, it’s easy to forget the positive things in life that many other people want.
So it's important to remind yourself of the blessings you have.
Practice gratitude daily for everything you have.
