Sit down with a notepad to jot down some areas in life that you feel are currently pushing you towards a negative mindset. This could be someone in your circle of friends, a co-worker, a family member, or anything in your life that makes you feel negativity when you’re around the person or situation. Make a commitment to yourself that you’ll remove all negativity from your life as quickly as possible in order to make a positive change in your life.

Get Active

I’m sure you’re tired of hearing this, but the reality is that exercising or some form of daily physical activity actually does boost your spirits. Being active helps boost your confidence and reduces stress levels by releasing the hormones endorphins and dopamine that help you feel euphoric. Daily exercise can be something as simple as a brisk 30-minute walk or a more extensive visit to the local gym. It doesn’t matter what you do to get active, all that matter is that you add some physical activity into your daily routine in order to make a positive change in your life.

Eliminate Clutter

Lastly, if you truly want to make a positive change in your life then you must eliminate the clutter. Take Time to go through your closets, household drawers and other collect all type areas in the home. As you go through each area of the home where clutter has piled up, you’ll start to think about the last time you used the item. If you haven’t used the item found in the various clutter spots of your home then it needs to go into a donate, free or for sale pile so that you can eliminate the physical clutter in your home.
