Be honest with what you feel and how it affects you

And see if there is a good outcome for this and if not reward yourself no matter how big or small the reward is

Like if I do this than I will get this

For me: if I'm not able to see the positive or the upside, I can easily become so pessimistic and distraught that I become irrational and can't operate. It's a conscious, active effort that I make in training my personal personal perspective and it's a very weird manual process for me. In the corporate world, they call it "positive positioning". Doing that but in real life can help you remain confident and honest in the face of adversity. At this point, sometimes I put it like this to myself-- You've got to stay positive, otherwise what will you do? Not much!

I struggle with this every day. One piece of advice that my grandmother, who also struggles with depression and negative thought, gave me is to "fake it till you make it." You don't have to even believe it, but all you can do is the best that you can do. Putting one foot in front of the other, and keep moving forward. Love to you ❤

Relax and breath take breaks when needed
