激励自己

1.Use quotes to remind yourself how to be optimistic. Maybe if during a particularly tough day someone mentions some saying that gives you a rare boost of motivation, write it down. Here are a few inspirational sayings:

Even the longest journey begins with a single step.
Life has a way of reminding one that it can be worse.
Until one understands the low and darker side of life, the appreciation of the awe-inspiring highs will remain stagnant.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

试着找一些警句来激励自己。譬如，当你很低落的时候，一句可以给你很大启发的话，试着将它记下来，例如：千里之行，始于足下；雨过就会天晴等等。

让自己快乐

2.Look happy. Studies have shown that putting a positive expression on your face can actually make you feel happier and more optimistic about the future.
试着让自己快乐。事实证明快乐的你可以让自己更开心，对未来更有信心。

交流

3.Practice by conveying these ideas to others. If you hear someone being pessimistic, counsel them based on these steps. Sometimes it's easier to understand a perspective if you explain it to someone else first.
多与别人交流。很多事情你无法一下想明白，那么试着向身边的人诉说一下。

听音乐

4.No matter how odd this may sound, listen to optimistic music (that you like) and read books that have a least a little optimism in them.
听积极的音乐，看励志的书籍对你有益。

帮助他人

5.Pass a blessing on to a friend or stranger, let somebody have that parking space, let somebody in front of you in line at the market. Doing nice things for others is an instant pick me up.
帮助他人。给别人让位，让别人先停车，这些细小的生活琐事也是有积极作用的。

相信自己

6.Only you can make the situation better, so smile and make the situation better!
相信自己。只有你才可以改变整个局势，所以笑一笑，加油吧。

珍惜

7.Count your blessings, each and every little one. Focusing on the good things in your life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, will help frame a better attitude and take your mind off of the negatives.
珍惜自己所拥有的一切。无论大小，这样有益于你更积极的生活。

坚持自己

8.Avoid negative people. If you can't avoid them, learn how to not let them get you down.While it is true that you create your own circumstances, accept that the past is the past. Don't let negative circumstances trigger irrational guilt or pessimism.
不要和消极的人混的太久。不要让悲观的人或事让你感到难受或悲观。

不要绝望

9.Don't confuse pessimism with depression. Depression can make everything look worse than it is.
不要把悲观和绝望划等号。绝望只会让事情变得更糟。

积极应对

10.Realize that it's not about what happens to you, it's about how you react to what happens.
记住，真正影响你的不是说事情本事，而是你如何去应对这件事。
