Answer 1

Always look on the bright side of life.


Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from Monty Python)
words and music by Eric Idle

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of ****
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

Answer 2

there r different things u could try. Try writing a gratitude journal, just write everynight what your grateful for, ect. a roof over head, being able to walk ect. U could try working out, or everytime u have a negative thought replace it with something positive, everybody u meet find one postive thing about them,just think of someone worse off because there is always someone with worse problems and be grateful

Answer 3

first, reject reality. Reality will always make you feel down. Set lower expectations of yourself and others; disappointment is a mind killer. To be more positive, you have to block out negative things and not worry about them. Dont worrry about what other people think about you or let their negativity get to you. Hang around positive people and you will come around.

Answer 4

what i have done to achieve being more positive is ...i have accepted that it wont always go my way...and the best thing to do is know that i have to work with what i have and not wait for what i want..when your down..other than drink or drugs you should find things to entertain yourself to not evade the problem but relax your mind until your ready to deal with the negative..you only get one life so dont spend most of it feeling bad just move on and smile at what you can

Answer 5

Well, you read up on it and try using tapes or cds. One of the best resources I have come across is MindPerk. I'm including a link. Go check it out. Perhaps there's something there that will help you. Good luck.

Answer 6

Positive thinking is a practice - positive thinking is something you learn over time. Positive thinking is not something that you were born with. You could practice to train your mind and subconscious mind to become more positive so that you practice positive thinking throughout your life.
