How To Maintain A Positive Mindset When You Don’t Feel Like It

7 Strategies for Making Mindfulness a Way of Life

Do you have days when you know it’s better to be upbeat and positive, but you just don’t feel like it? When you face challenges or feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude.

…

Try these techniques to improve your mood and experience the inner peace you deserve:

…

#1 – Start your day with something positive.

…

Decide each morning that you’ll start the day headed in the right direction. Instead of waking up on the wrong side of the bed and setting the stage for a grouchy day, resolve to experience something positive first thing in the morning.

Develop a morning routine that you can repeat daily to ease into your day’s responsibilities. Determine what activities help improve your mood and put you on the path to positive thinking. Find two or three things you can do each morning that’ll set the stage for a successful day. As these become habit, add to the routine little by little.

A routine will help your body and mind settle in and focus on what you need to accomplish. Instead of rushing around or forgetting important details, your plan will guide you through a peaceful set of steps that calm your mind and create unstoppable momentum.

…

#2 – Set exciting goals.

…

If you wake up each morning with nothing to look forward to, your mind may quickly latch onto negative feelings that can last throughout the day. Give your life focus by setting goals that motivate and excite you. Write those goals down and review them every day. Each day, take some small action that brings you closer to attaining your goal.

Set aside a few minutes this week to write down all the reasons why each goal is important to you. How will you feel when you reach the goal you’ve set? How will your loved ones be affected? How will your quality of life improve?

Spend a few minutes each day reading through this list. A big enough “why” can help you to overcome obstacles that are in your way.

…

#3 – Surround yourself with positive people.

…

If you want to feel better about your life, hang around people who encourage you and bring out the best in you. Spend more time with people who make you feel good about yourself and less time with those that complain about everything.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and it’s easier to find that silver lining when you hang around people who help you to see it.

…

#4 – Remember that bad days happen.

…

When you have a bad day, don’t beat yourself up or dwell on it. Remember that tomorrow is a new day with exciting possibilities and challenges. Your next victory is right around the corner if you resolve to start with a fresh perspective.

…

These suggestions will only help if you put them into practice. Pick one or more of them and decide that your happiness is worth small changes that lead to a big payoff. Begin to experience the happiness you deserve by taking positive steps today that will lead to a bright future!

Nurturing and Safe

Toni is such an inspirational human being. She is kind, encouraging, positive, and empathetic. While I was hesitant at first to open myself up so much, I found that coaching with Toni is like talking to my best friend: nurturing and safe.

During our coaching sessions, she has worked extraordinarily hard to find the best strategies to guide me to a place of total self-reflection where I can identify my next steps and the path that will take me there. I have experienced moments of complete clarity during our sessions and unlocked parts of my personality and things that hold me back that I may never have figured out without her help.

I trust Toni explicitly, and my life is a better place with her in it!
