5 Ways To Stay Positive

1. Praying

- This should be your first and probably only thing you have to do when staying positive is praying. Not only will this calm you down and allow you to relax, but it will also change your state of mind almost instantly and allow you to continue with your day in a more laid-back sense.

2. Reading Scripture

- Reading the Bible is probably the last thing you want to do when you're not feeling just nice and dandy but once to put yourself down into reading it, I guarantee God will express some great verses to you that will encourage you in so many ways that your previous negative attitude will jump right into a state of joyfulness.

3. Take Negative Situations As Blessings

- Sometimes God allows us to be in hard positions and go through hard times just to see how much we depend on Christ to get us through these situations. If you are going through difficult times, why are you trying to get through them alone? You have the Creator of the universe by your side, give him a shout!

4. Take Some Alone Enjoyment Time

- One of the main things that puts people in these negative moods is stress. When we are overwhelmed with stress we see everything so bad. Take a second and relax. That may mean picking up a good book, watching some tv, playing some video games, jamming out, calling up your friends. You name it, you have a variety of things at your disposal, so don't be afraid to enjoy yourself, even if its only for a little bit.

5. Talk To A Friend

- Chances are that you have a friend, or multiple, who are having some difficult times as well. It's always nice to have someone you can relate to. So really when you are benefiting from simply having a conversation with someone close, it could be helping them as well. This is a time for you guys to joke around, laugh and maybe even hang out a bit, nothing too big. Some of the smallest things make the biggest smiles.
