Project a Positive Outlook
Keep a smile on your face to help make every day brighter. People react to a smile with one of their own. Another way to corral optimism is by replacing any negative self-talk with affirmations about all you can do and will do. Also, keep in mind that focusing on the best in everyone makes your life and the lives of those around you that much better.
