Surround Yourself With Positivity

Surround yourself with things that give you energy and motivate you.

Put on a playlist that gets you moving and in a good mood, play a podcast or a YouTube video of a coach, writer or speaker that motivates and validates you, or a movie that inspires you, or call a friend or family member that always knows what to say when you're having a bad moment, exercise, etc.

MORE IDEAS FROM THE SAME ARTICLE

Acknowledge The Negative Thoughts

You're not going to stop negative thoughts by ignoring them.

Stop Expecting Perfection

Don't expect perfection when you are just beginning.

Breathe

When you're overwhelmed, feel like a failure or paralyzed by fear, it's important to pause and take a deep breath.

Consider The Cause

Take some time to consider where these negative thoughts come from and confront them.

Build A Routine

It's easier to work through negative thoughts if your day is planned and you don't have to think about how to start your day.

Silence Those Thoughts

At first, it will be difficult. The negative voices and thoughts will want to creep in the way they always have, and it will be tempting to let them have their say, but choose to confront them, and create a counter-narrative that's on hand in your head.
