study, Dr. Mark Krasnow, professor of biochemistry from Stanford University's School of
Medicine. Research shows, neural circuits throughout the brain regulate this breathing
process, blood will flow oxygen to the brain and make it more able to think clearly and
rationally.

#2 - DIRECT YOUR MIND

This technique can help you take control of your mind when you start to feel sad or anxious.
Make happy thoughts, positive images or provide positive feedback to maintain feelings.

#3 - GRATEFUL

From now on, get used to writing a list of things to be thankful for every day. Looking at this
list will help you to start thinking positively. You will realize that there are so many happy
things in your life. Of course this will help you focus on what you already have. If it's like
this, it's no longer difficult to be able to think positively.

#4 - SMILE

Smiling will not make you feel bad. Even smiling can give positive energy to yourself and the
people around you. Smiling will also make you liked by many people. When you smile at
others, they will also return your smile. From this pattern your positive outlook will be
formed on other people.

#5 - POSITIVE SENTENCE AND PRAISE OTHER

Praising others will help you think positively. Do it sincerely and as is. Not only does it make
you look good in the eyes of others, doesn't everything that is done sincerely always bring
happiness? Giving praise will also familiarize yourself to see positive things from others. This
keeps your mind positive in judging someone.

#6 - POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP

Humans as social beings must relate to the surrounding environment, such as friends,
neighbors, coworkers, etc. But that does not mean accepting everyone in your life, you still
have to be selective in choosing friends, because friends are one of the people who have the
most influence in someone's life.

If you are friends with people who like to complain, their negativity (the nature of
complaining) tends to rub off on you. Befriend and spend time with friends and family
members who have positive qualities and you will also be infected with those positive
qualities. It's hard to be negative when everyone around you is very positive, the natural law
is like that.
#7 - DARE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

To have positive thoughts, learn to be a more responsible person. Always running away
from your responsibilities won't change your life for the better. Do not hesitate to take
responsibility for the mistakes that you did. Putting blame on others is not a good action at
all.

Stop placing yourself as a victim to be pitied. If you think like that, it will be difficult to have
a positive outlook. Rise up and face life with courage. Taking responsibility for your mistakes
will make you learn from the past. You will be forced to think positively and not repeat the
same mistakes in the future.
