1. Appreciate Everything.

A very effective way to become a more positive person and to enjoy your life more is simply to develop a habit of appreciating more.
- My food.
- The weather and sunshine we are having today.
- My health.
- Friends and family.
- My work

Try doing that for two or three minutes. Try to come up with all the things in yourself and your world that you can appreciate.

2. Change your physiology.

If you change how you move and use your body your mood will change.
If you for instance want to feel happier, force a smile for about 60 seconds. You’ll feel happier.
"Facial Feedback Theory" - This really works.

If you want to feel confident stand up and walk around for few minutes in a confident way. You’ll feel more confident.

3. Act as you’d like to feel.

Think, How would a positive and confident person do this...
Make a call or answer the phone in a positive way.
Write an email in a positive and enthusiastic manner.
Instead of thinking that a situation will probably be boring and not so beneficial think of it as something that will be exciting, fun and useful.

You start by acting as you would in a situation if you were in a positive mood. And then you’ll create a positive mood and positive consequences in the world around you and within yourself.

4. Ask the right questions.

If you are asking yourself disempowering questions like: “Why did this happen to me? “, “How can get out of doing this?” and “What are all the awful things about this?” then of course you are going to feel lousy and get very little done.

You become empowered if you start asking your self positive questions
instead of getting stuck in victim thinking.

A few good questions are:

“What is awesome about this situation?”
“Will this matter 5 years from now?”
“What is the opportunity hidden within this situation?”

5. List & Recall your positive experiences and memories.

It’s easy to be overcome by negative internal chatter.

Nonsense like: “I can’t do this, what if they think I’m incompetent, I’m gonna fail, I’m gonna fail and this why did I take this shirt, it’s so ugly”. And so on.

When preparing for a meeting, a job interview, a presentation or anything that makes you really nervous recall your positive memories from similar experiences.

Think back to when you were funny and charming.
Remember the times when you were confident and relaxed during previous meetings and interviews.
Let a few of your best memories wash over you.
Let them comfort you and help you realize that you have been here before and things went well during those situations in the past.

Doing so helps you remember the positive and wonderful sides of yourself. The qualities and your inner possibilities that are always there.

You can also use this tip to remember how you felt when you felt confident in the past. How you moved, what you said.
