Affirmations are positive phrases about yourself. Making a list of affirmations and repeating them often (or even every day) will help you stay positive about yourself. Make them specific to you. For example: 'I can accomplish anything I put my mind to.'Practicing gratitude allows you to focus on the best things in your life instead of only on the negativity. make a list of three things you are grateful for that day, and make them specific.
