Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure & lovely & dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for & be glad about. Philippians 4:8 TLB

You control your own attitude - so choose to be positive.

Choose to look at difficulties through a hope lens.

Embrace challenges so you grow & develop in key areas.

Filter negative experiences through a lens of gratitude.

What can you do differently?

Hang out with positive people

You become like the people you are around.  Negativity multiplies as you get around others who reinforce negativity & martyrdom.

Seek out encouragers. Ask them to hold you accountable. 

Avoid negative conversations

Challenge yourself to avoid negative self-talk. Minimize negativity on challenging situations. A simple deep breath can be all that is needed to witness a negative thought dissipate.
 
Praise God for difficult situations

The more you appreciate your life, the more you flourish & grow. Recognize negativity so you can inject more gratitude into your day.  Identify what you're thankful for & trigger growth.

Make a glad list

How much positivity you experience is a direct result of how you choose to interpret the experiences in your life, so get real about your habits of thought.

See challenges as opportunities.

People with a positive outlook see obstacles as opportunities for growth and are able to experience empathetic joy for others’ good fortune.

Prayer
I am thankful, Lord, that I have a choice today to focus my thought life on truth rather than lies. You provide me with a true perspective on all that is swirling around me as I care for the needs of others. I choose to think about all that is going right in this situation. I choose to capitalize on the good qualities I see in the difficult people in my life. (Philippians 4:8) Most of all, I choose to praise You & find joy and laughter every day.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
