It is not just adults; kids too can get stressed out. Are you always anxious and worrying about something or the other? Most of us are, but only a few of us how to get things going with a positive attitude.

Develop a positive attitude

Focus your energies on identifying a solution to the problem at hand. Don’t lose precious time thinking about the problem. An optimist always thinks positive. His/her language is ‘I will’, ‘I can’ and ‘It is possible’. Don’t hold yourself responsible for everything that goes wrong. Celebrate your achievements, even if they are a notch below your expectations. Watch your thinking during the course of the day. Check yourself the moment you find yourself edging towards negative thoughts. Don’t get overawed by tasks that seem too complicated. Break them into small parts and you should be able to handle them. Exercise positive affirmation. It has been proved that just repeating, writing or thinking positive statements lend us strength. And if we say affirmations often enough, we will ultimately start believing in them.

Associate with positive people

Both positive and negative thoughts are contagious. Remember that our attitudes are shaped through constant conditioning as a result of our interactions with family, friends and environment. Steer clear of people who are full of negativity.
