Avoid worrying. For some

people, worrying is part of

everyday life. If you worry

a lot, instead of worrying,

try to find a way to solve

the problem that you are

facing. You may also try to

distract yourself from

worrying if it is something

beyond your control.

Slow down. Sometimes,

when things are moving

too fast, we get stressed.

With lots of stress we may

move towards negative

thinking. If you are feeling

stressed - whether that is

happening while talking,

eating or even rushing

around to get something

done - take the time slow

down. Slowing down will

allow you to think clearly

Did you know there are actually

health benefits to being

positive? Research has shown

that people who are positive

and at least once a week keep

track of the things they are

grateful for had fewer physical

complaints than those who did

not keep track. Staying positive

is an important part of mental

health. When you are positive,

it does not mean that you

should ignore challenges or

tough times, it just means that

you should try to see the bright

side as much as possible. It

may take some time and

practice to start thinking more

positively. Here are a few ways

that you can try:

Write down dreams and

goals. One way to stay

positive is to write down

your goals and dreams for

the future. By writing

them down, you are

actually setting the

groundwork for reaching

your goal. Be detailed

about what you want and

how you think you can

reach that dream or goal.

Say thank you. Being

thankful and expressing

gratitude is an important

part of staying positive.

You can do this in many

ways, including: keeping a

journal of things you are

grateful for, writing a letter

to someone who made a

difference in your life, and

making an effort to say

“thank you” to all people

who helped you

throughout the week.

The Importance of Staying Positive

about what you need to

do.

Eat well and stay active.

Did you know that eating

unhealthy foods and not

being active can actually

make you feel worse?

That is right! Eating

healthy foods and staying

active on a regular basis

will actually make you feel

better.

It can be hard to develop

healthy habits like staying

positive. Try some of these

different ways to stay positive

and see how much better you

will feel!
