How to stay positive?

[Anonymous]

So, one of my friends is really positive and she's always so perky. And I wondered how can someone be so positive and let nothing bring them down. One day I decided to start having a more positive attitude and I succeeded for two day then I was feeling negative again and I still do. How can I stay positive when negative things occur?

I'm still working on it, i started by thinking 3 positive thoughts for every negative thought and every time something negative happened I'd try to find the positive. I've started to notice that I'm doing it without realising now

Start by looking at things positively. There's always a good side to something bad

Try to look at the bright side of the situation, for example, if you're having a rough day, just think, there's always someone who hasn't worse

Being negative isn't gonna make things better or make you feel better
And also being negative doesn't mean being realistic
so staying positive gives you hope and makes you feel good

Personality trait. You cannot "copy" it.
