1)Start Your Day Strong

Your day’s effectiveness is normally determined in the first few hours of your day. If you start the day by checking your Facebook newsfeed, your presence and mental focus will start to drift away. Begin your morning with an activity that will give you a positive mental focus, such as journaling, meditation, or a workout session that will keep you right on track.

2)Take Control of What Goes In Your Head

Consuming mass amounts of media, negative tabloids, or disingenuous social media influencers that make you feel down on yourself can distract you from your own personal feelings and goals about the world and yourself. Learn to be proactive and disciplined about others’ voices and words that you allow going through your mind; We cannot make changes to our DNA, but we can opt to be more vigilant about what sort of information we choose to fill our minds with. Recognize when consuming certain media makes you feel less valuable or happy as a person, and take action in removing that narrative from your daily life.

3)Practice Gratitude

The continuous recollection of the things and people you are grateful for has been proven to improve your quality of life as you are actively shifting your mind from negative thoughts to positive, tangible aspects of your life. It is not easy to form a new habit, but we encourage you to keep trying and always start again when you slip up. Think about how fortunate you are, and keep a journal for the opportunity to fulfill your dreams every day. Keep in mind that it is you who’s going to determine your reality. As such, be grateful for that opportunity.

The above three strategies have helped create an amazing positive momentum in the lives of many people. When you accept the reality that obstacles in life are inevitable, you can begin to implement positive behavior and thought habits to help you cope with life’s challenging moments and establish an overall sense of peace daily.
