Similar ideas to 2. Surround Yourself With Beautiful People
Be aware of the other emotions and mood you experience when you’re around other people too. If someone tries to force you to go on guilt trips, set boundaries. Refuse to be “guilted” into doing things you don't want to do.
Happiness is contagious.
Surrounding yourself with happy people builds confidence and stimulates creativity, and it's flat-out fun.
Hanging around negative people has the opposite effect -- they want people to join their pity party so that they can feel better about themselves.
...Just like there are some tasks that drain you and other tasks that excite you, there are people who drain you and people who catalyze you.
But first and foremost though, make sure that you are your own catalyst. Be a coach, not a critic. When you fail, don’t beat yourself up.
