Staying present, in the now, and recognizing that the past is done and gone, helps to keep me positive.
Remaining grateful always for what I have and for who I am, helps to keep me positive.
Remembering that I always have a choice as to how I feel and what I think and do about things that affect my life, definitely helps to keep me positive.
I also try to maintain a healthy sense of humor which helps in stressful situations.
When all else fails, sometimes a nap is what is needed.
