How to be positive? 
Hi Salmoncake
Thank you for choosing to be positive and optimistic. This is already a great first step that suggest you want to actively focus on the good, practise self-encouragement, and approach challenges with resilience. Here are some strategies I believe can help you:
1.â â Practice gratitude: Reflect on things youâre thankful for daily.
2.â â Reframe negative thoughts: Challenge negative self-talk and replace with positive affirmations.
3.â â Focus on solutions: Instead of dwelling on problems, explore solutions.
To care for yourself, do consider to :
Exercise regularly: Release endorphins, boost mood.
Meditate and practice mindfulness: Calm your mind.
Connect with nature: Spend time outdoors.
Set achievable goals: Celebrate small wins.
Practice acts of kindness: Spread positivity.
Surround yourself with positivity: Inspiring books, supportive people.
Remember to choose to practise self compassion. I have seen that challenges are temporary and our attitude determines our altitude. Staying positive is a habit which you can certainly develop with practice. You can do this! 
Why be positive, when negativity is the only acceptable solution to an unacceptable world?
