1.激勵(lì)自己

    Use quotes to remind yourself how to be optimistic. Maybe if during a particularly tough day someone mentions some saying that gives you a rare boost of motivation, write it down. Here are a few inspirational sayings:

    Even the longest journey begins with a single step.

    Life has a way of reminding one that it can be worse.

    Until one understands the low and darker side of life, the appreciation of the awe-inspiring highs will remain stagnant.

    Every cloud has a silver lining.

    試著找一些警句來激勵(lì)自己。譬如，當(dāng)你很低落的時(shí)候，一句可以給你很大啟發(fā)的話，試著將它記下來，例如：千里之行，始于足下；雨過就會(huì)天晴等等。

    2.讓自己快樂

    Look happy. Studies have shown that putting a positive expression on your face can actually make you feel happier and more optimistic about the future.

    試著讓自己快樂。事實(shí)證明快樂的你可以讓自己更開心，對(duì)未來更有信心。

    3.交流

    Practice by conveying these ideas to others. If you hear someone being pessimistic, counsel them based on these steps. Sometimes it's easier to understand a perspective if you explain it to someone else first.

    多與別人交流。很多事情你無法一下想明白，那么試著向身邊的人訴說一下。

    4.聽音樂

    No matter how odd this may sound, listen to optimistic music （that you like） and read books that have a least a little optimism in them.

    聽積極的音樂，看勵(lì)志的書籍對(duì)你有益。

    5.幫助他人

    Pass a blessing on to a friend or stranger, let somebody have that parking space, let somebody in front of you in line at the market. Doing nice things for others is an instant pick me up.

    幫助他人。給別人讓位，讓別人先停車，這些細(xì)小的生活瑣事也是有積極作用的。

    6.相信自己

    Only you can make the situation better, so smile and make the situation better!

    相信自己。只有你才可以改變整個(gè)局勢，所以笑一笑，加油吧。

    7.珍惜

    Count your blessings, each and every little one. Focusing on the good things in your life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, will help frame a better attitude and take your mind off of the negatives.

    珍惜自己所擁有的一切。無論大小，這樣有益于你更積極的生活。

    8.堅(jiān)持自己

    Avoid negative people. If you can't avoid them, learn how to not let them get you down.While it is true that you create your own circumstances, accept that the past is the past. Don't let negative circumstances trigger irrational guilt or pessimism.

    不要和消極的人混的太久。不要讓悲觀的人或事讓你感到難受或悲觀。

    9.不要絕望

    Don't confuse pessimism with depression. Depression can make everything look worse than it is.

    不要把悲觀和絕望劃等號(hào)。絕望只會(huì)讓事情變得更糟。

    10.積極應(yīng)對(duì)

    Realize that it's not about what happens to you, it's about how you react to what happens.

    記住，真正影響你的不是說事情本事，而是你如何去應(yīng)對(duì)這件事。
