It takes practice. But the moment you catch yourself thinking something 'bad' or negative - stop yourself and change it for its happier alternative - believe me, it works. You just have to get into the habit of changing your thought processes..

You've been given some great advice. Also remember to stop thinking in the past. It's gone and there's nothing you can do to change it anymore. Think in the present because it's the only time you truly have power over.
Give yourself a pat on the back once in a while. We tend to let guilt over past errors or problems colour our opinion of ourselves and many people, when they do something wrong or cause an accident to happen, reprimand themselves harshly by saying things like, "Man! I'm such an idiot! How could I be so stupid?"
Would you be that critical to a relative you loved? Then cut yourself some slack and don't be so hard on yourself.
Find at least one thing to laugh about each day. Keep adding the number of times you need to laugh at life. Try to make others laugh. Laughter is like medicine of the soul.

little by little.
make an effort to think postitive, and then you will learn gradually that thinking positively will improve your life, and as better and better things happen to you, your thinking will be even more positive, and the spiral will go up from there.
so there won't be any huge leaps forward anytime soon, but you can work at getting yourself into better habits now.

Always think about good things happen in your life.
Meet your friends, have fun take life easily, try to be happy do whatever makes you happy.
Remove all bad feeling from your mind always thing good.
If something bad happen to you take it lightly and think that condition can be more worst but not so thank God and be happy
All The Best

Find the stressors in your life, learn to cope with them. Imagine a stress-free life, create it; think positive thoughts

know that babe Ruth struck out 777 times in his life and still is remember for home runs, failure in real life is always the first option, it isn't some blast of ego that "failure is not an option", that kind of talk locks people up and they do nothing for fear of failure, common ground to in positive things are negotiated in life

Find something you enjoy doing, and build your life around it.
Turn off all things negative, and there are plenty to go around.
Just keep thinking positive, and eventually, all the negativity gets washed away.
It works for me.

Don't think. Laugh more and get out of the house. Get a social life and engage in creative and recreational activities.

to think positive in life you need to know yourself deeper than any one would know about you. if you know the joharis window then you'll undestand. by knowing and accepting who you are, then you need to respect yourself, take things seriously and have priority in your life. you should always be able to be and do what you want and make choices. be peacefull and honest, loving and caring and believe in god.
