  • You own your thoughts and you can choose how you feel.
  • Believe that the world is a kind place and you deserve nice treatment.
  • Take time to go outside and enjoy a walk in a park or forest. Being active and outdoors can help you see the beauty and the good around you.
  • Make an effort to smile. It can help your mood. It is also less work to smile than to frown.
  • Look for the humor in situations. Watch a funny movie. Be around people who make you laugh.
  • Find your favorite music with a good beat and listen to it.
  • Dance along to really get your blood moving.
  • Play your favorite instrument or sing along, even if you don't have a great voice.
  • Write down 3 to 5 things you are thankful for. This may be hard at first if you are feeling sad. Start small: it could be as simple as being able to enjoy a sunny day. Maybe you are thankful for a friend or a child in your life.
  • Do this each day. Some days it is easier to be thankful than others.
  • Finding ways to help others will often remind us what we have to be thankful for.
  • Treat yourself to something special like a massage, lunch out with a friend, or movie.
  • Limit use of alcohol and drugs. These will lower your mood and using too much is not healthy for you.

  • Every night think of one success you had during the day.
  • Read books with a positive message.
