You must train yourself. When you have a good thought, reward yourself with sometihng you enjoy- a cookie, a favorite tv show, a good song. Deprive yourself of these things so you will want to think optimistically. Be consistent with this. Make a journal to recod your progress. It takes a month to form a new habit.
If you REALLY want to, try this. It takes dedication.

" Always look on the bright side of life " Why don't you be optimistic ALL the time ? if you're only prepared to be an optimist for some of the time then you've already got a negative mind set and you will pay the price..

You fill your mind with positive thoughts. Think of something you really like and enjoy. Once a negative thought comes in, change it right away to something happy. It will take time to retrain your thoughts but it is possible.
Have you heard of the new movie out called THE SECRET?
Go and rent it, it teaches us how to be positive. Good luck.
