How to stay positive

Staying positive is the habit of seeing the good in life's situations and expecting things to work out well. Building an optimistic mindset doesn't happen overnight, but here are a few simple ways to start:

• Find balance in your emotions. Staying positive doesn't mean ignoring negative feelings. But it helps to avoid dwelling on past mistakes or constantly worrying about the future.
• Savor the good moments. When you experience positive feelings, try to hold onto them and truly enjoy them rather than rushing past them.
• Limit your exposure to negative information. Be mindful of what you consume. Take intentional breaks from the news or social media whenever they leave you feeling overwhelmed or upset.
