people. These people will help you through the tough times and be there for you when you need them. Another tip is to allow yourself to feel negative feelings. This means that you shouldn’t try to bottle up your emotions or pretend everything is okay when it’s not. Life isn’t always filled with happiness and positivity and that’s okay. Instead, allow yourself to feel the pain, sadness, and anger. Once you’ve allowed yourself to feel these negative emotions, you can start working on moving on and healing. Lastly, don’t forget that this too shall pass. Whatever situation you’re going through, know that it’s not permanent and things will eventually get better.

If you are alone and can’t get someone to support you or be with you, meditate or practice mindfulness. Mindfulness and meditation are the next best thing for finding support and finding perspective in your life. There are apps like Calm, or even the Peloton app, which I love for meditation when I need to pick myself up. You can use this code to get a discount on your membership: https://spl.it/HTAWmp

3. Why it’s important to stay positive during tough times

It can be tough to stay positive when bad things keep happening. You might start to feel like you’re cursed or that the universe is against you. But it’s important to remember that tough times don’t last forever. Here are a few tips to help you stay positive when things are tough:

First, try making some changes to your habits.

conscious effort to focus on the positive instead. This can be something as simple as making a gratitude list every day or writing down three good things that happen to you each day. A gratitude journal is a great way to look back on positive things when you might think you are in a terrible situation. You can name one positive thing in your day that you are grateful for even if you had a horrible day. It helps you to stay positive when bad things keep happening if you can find one positive thing in your day.

Second, try putting things in perspective.

Remind yourself that whatever it is that’s bothering you is probably not as big of a deal as you’re making it out to be. Try to take a step back and look at the situation objectively.

Third, it’s best to try to limit your screen time to avoid comparison and adding to your stress and negativity.
Lastly, don’t forget to reach out for help if you’re struggling.

Talk to a friend or family member, or seek professional help on remaining positive if needed. Sometimes all it takes is someone else’s perspective to help you see that it’s not that bad after all. If this person is negative at all, it’s best to stay away from them and anyone or anything negative as that can keep you from staying positive yourself. People who avoid negativity most of the time tend to be happier.
