Cultivate Positive Thoughts - Switch over to more positives thoughts. Seeing a cup as half-full not half-empty is a nice example of positive thinking. Instead of looking at the negative aspect of a situation, focus on its brighter and lighter side. It will boost up your confidence in yourself and relieve you of negativism. We have no control over how things happen, but we, with some efforts can minimize its gravity and control our inner self.
 
Self Confidence - People who use ‘I can’t’ more than ‘I can’ become more vulnerable to such negativism. Build up confidence in yourself, it will give you strength to overcome a negative line of thinking and make you confident enough to rise above any difficulties. It is our mental status that determines that what will defeat us and what will not. If you choose to overcome a bad situation, you certainly can. If you wish to be a positive person, look at the brighter side of yourself and acknowledge the qualities what makes you a better person than any other.
 
Recognize What You Have - Always acknowledge what you have, not what you don’t. If you wish for more success in your professional life, think of the ways in which you are already successful. Likewise, if you long for more love and care, think of the people who really love you and care for you. It will give you happiness in long term and make you feel that ‘life is worthy’. Helping people who are less fortunate than you in any way will make you realize that how lucky you are to have a little of that happiness. 
 
Distance Yourself From Negativity - Surrounding yourself with joyous, focused and positive people is the best thing you can do for yourself. They will uplift your confidence in yourself and inspire you to do great things. Stay away from the people frequently complaining about their life and bad experiences, it will only bring more negativity in your life.
 

Love Yourself - There is a thin line between what we want and what we get. If you want to get the best, expect the best of everything as long as it does not hurt anyone in the process. Remind yourself that you can achieve anything that you put your mind to. Be honest to yourself and don’t do things that you will later regret or make you feel little. It will make you think positively of yourself and make you capable to struggle in tough situations.
