How to increase positivity in your life

STEP 1: Turn Down Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts are a major cause of low mood. They can also be a huge drain on your emotional energy.

STEP 2: Replace Negativity With Positivity

Your brain is designed to filter out negative information and only keep the positive ones. Negative thoughts can be a real problem for your mental health, so it’s important to stop allowing them to take hold in your mind.

We all go through hard times, but self-pity is a waste of your time and energy. It will only bring you down and prevent you from moving forward.
