Cultivate optimism
Develop the habit of seeing the positive side of things.
You needn't become a Pollyanna - after all, bad things do happen.
It would be silly to pretend otherwise.
But you don't have to let the negatives color your whole outlook on life.
Remember that what is right about you almost always trumps what is wrong.
If you're not an optimistic person by nature, it may take time for you to change
your pessimistic thinking. Start by recognizing negative thoughts as you have them.
Then take a step back and ask yourself these key questions"
* Is the situation really as bad as I think ?
* Is there another way to look at the situation ?
* What can I learn from this experience that I can use in the future ?
