Relax and accept the challenging situation . Don ’ t fight it because that will make it worse . The more relaxed you are , the more productive you are . Creativity arises out of a relaxed state . And it ’ s creativity that you need to come up with solutions to the situation you are in . Notice that I use the word “ situation ” and not the word “ problem ”.

habit of self-judgment and criticism is to create positive phrases that you repeat to yourself as often as possible . Even if you don ’ t really believe them in the beginning , say them anyway ! Over time they become a habit and the negative thoughts simply dissolve .

Be alert to people who like to complain , bad-mouth others , and / or have a depressed outlook on life . AVOID THEM . Keep yourself in the company of positive thinking people . This is a powerful way to keep yourself in a positive energy field which will LIFT YOU , rather than bring you down .

Your life is not determined by outside circumstances , but rather by how you respond to those outside circumstances .
