B Positive in Tough Time

We all have those times in our lives when things are less than perfect.
It's hard to stay positive in tough times,
but it's also very important to stay positive in tough times.
There are ways that you can make it a bit easier on yourself.

This is really challenging but i guess it works like

Keep yourself busy. The more time you spend doing nothing,
the more time you have to think about the negatives so give yourself a distraction.

Surround yourself with good people. Spend time with those you love and those who love you back,
even when it's hard. When things aren't going your way, it's nice to rest assured that people love you.

Distance yourself from those who bring negativity into your life.
They'll make it nearly impossible to stay positive in tough times,
especially if they're always bringing you down.
Sometimes this can be extremely difficult, especially when these sorts of people are the ones you're closest to.
I'm not saying you should cut them out of your life completely,
simply keep them at a safe distance for a while.

Do something good for others. Helping those in need will always make your heart happy
and bring a smile to your face. Donate some clothes to a clothing drive,
donate some food to a food pantry, or donate some of your time to clean up your
neighborhood or surrounding neighborhoods.

Don't feel bad, guilty, worthless, etc.
Everyone experiences these emotions at some point in their life. Keep in mind that you're human and these feelings are natural.

Do something that you've always been wanting to do, but never were able to do.
If you've always wanted to go to school to be a nurse,
do it. If you've always wanted to learn how to do yoga, do it.
If you've always wanted to dance, do it. The sky's the limit.
Only you can make your dreams come true.

Buy yourself a gift. It doesn't have to be anything eccentric,
just a little something that makes you happy.
This could be treating yourself to a day at the spa,
treating yourself to dinner at a fancy restaurant you've been wanting to try,
treating yourself to tickets to see your favorite sports team play,
or just buying yourself a little gift.

Learning how to stay positive in tough times can be extremely challenging,
but realize that no matter how bad things get,
it could always be worse and be thankful for what you do have.
