Optimism
Visualization
Happy friends
Gratitude journal
Step 1: Be an optimist（做一个乐观的人）
Expect things to work out. Optimists have reason to be cheery: studies have shown optimists are more successful and healthier than pessimists.
Step 2: Look at the bright side（多想想事情好的一面）
Instead of focusing on the negative, try to find something positive in every negative situation. This will train your brain and help positive thinking come more naturally to you.
Step 3: Visualize success（多想想自己的成功）
Picture yourself succeeding at challenging events. Visualizing yourself as strong and triumphant primes you to make it happen — which is why athletes have been using this trick for years.
The more vivid the imagery, the likelier it will work. So engage all your senses in the fantasy — smell, taste, feel, sounds.
Step 4: Catch happiness（抓住每一个幸福的瞬间）
Surround yourself with happy people. It’s easier to stay positive when you’re with other cheerful folks — some research indicates happiness is contagious.
Step 5: Count your blessings（学会感恩）
Write down five things that you’re grateful for every single day. Transplant patients who did this reported more energy and a deeper sense of well-being.
Norman Vincent Peale, the author of The Power of Positive Thinking, lived to be 95.
