Practice gratitude

Tell yourself things like “I’m capable” or “I deserve good things.” Put up quotes or reminders where you’ll see them.

Surround yourself with positivity
Hang out with friends who lift you up and check out inspiring books, videos, or podcasts.

Try mindfulness and meditation
Spend a few minutes focusing on your breath or being present to calm your mind.

Set realistic goals
Make clear, doable goals and celebrate every step you take toward them.

Get moving
Exercise or spend time outside to boost your mood and energy.

Eat well and sleep enough
Good food and rest help your body and mind feel their best.

Challenge negative thoughts
When you catch yourself thinking “I can’t,” ask if it’s really true and try to think more positively.

Be kind to others
Helping people or doing small acts of kindness makes you feel good too.

Take care of yourself
