Decide now to make the new year ahead positive by making little changes in how you think. Get ready to welcome your most awesome year yet. Here’s your game plan to start your year on a fabulously positive note …
1. Talk to yourself the way you’d talk to a best friend.
If you find yourself in a bad mood, you might want to ask yourself what you’ve been thinking about. It’s probably not positive! Pay attention to that internal dialogue. Would you talk to your best friend the way you talk to yourself? If your answer to either question is a no, then you have some work to do.
What you say on the inside determines what happens on the outside. If your internal dialogue is positive and you encounter a setback, you can talk yourself through it.

I will turn things around.” Positive self-talk is comforting, empowering and contributes greatly to ease of mind and happiness.
