I was inspired by a blog called 17 Tips to Become Happy by Arvind Devalia. One of the very true points that he made was to look for the positive things in your life. I like this because I know that when I'm down I don't think of what is going good for me I think of all the things that are wrong. But, I think that thinking of all the positives in your life to help to eliminate the negative is a great idea. Obviously everyone is going to get done at points but being able to focus on the good is great. Look for ways of helping other people, if you're helping others it's a big help on you also, being able to make a positive impact on someone else gives you a bit of light to be able to look at. Always smile, make time to smile be positive even when you don't feel like being positive. It helps you have a reason to smile if you don't feel like you have any. The way you carry yourself really makes a difference in how you feel. You can't always be positive but it's a good idea to do your best to try to be happy even when you feel as if you shouldn't be. You may always have a reason to be negative but there's always a reason to be positive as well. Work more towards the positives.
