I'm such a negative person, I fail to see the brightside of anything. I can say to myself for example the glass is half full, but if you don't feel it theres no point if you know what I mean, I can say positives all day but it doesn't change the real way I feel negative

just be critical of other people this will make you more possitive about yourself

LOL this might be a little 'heavy' but I just think about the real nature of emotions. I've always been taught that emotions and our perspective of the world changes - no one is *always* happy, *always* sad, *always* angry...you get the picture ;) life and our emotions are full of ups and downs, and if nothing's permanent then it's no point dwelling on it.
So to stay positive, I just think well, really, no point being negative about something now because I might think differently of the situation in a few more minutes.
And take heart - there isn't anything wrong with being negative as long as you have something to back it up with...I don't know how else to phrase it but what I mean is something along the lines of how criticism isn't always bad as long as it's constructive criticism!

Be around positive people. Read things that are positive. Stop watching news, tv, reading newspapers or at least limiting yourself too them. Look around and put your effort into seeing the things that are good. Something as simple as looking around and seeing somebody do something good. They can sometimes be more difficult to see but they are there and they will put a smile on your face if you allow them too.I think your on your way to changing just because you're asking the question. Think of it as a positive. Just a thought from someone who also has a tendency to think negatively but is striving to see the good. And much more than see, too appreciate.

Learn new habits of thought and cognition. You have your old habits, it is time to replace them with new habits.
