Sit in a quiet place and consciously think about optimistic future goals or happy memories. Make a list of five great moments from your past and five future events you're psyched about.

Work out, make art, start a blog (or read some inspiring quotes)! Do what makes YOU happy, because you can't run from yourself When going through tough times, it's easy to sit around wondering: "Why didn’t I?” “Why did I?” “What if?” “Why me?” “Why not them?" “What if my fear comes true?” These are all time-wasters and downward spiralers, as there are no happy answers. Hence, you must stop them and swap them with these new present-tense-oriented questions, which will make your present less-tense: “How can I learn from this?” “How am I better person from this?” “What can I do now to make my life better?” “Who can I surround myself with today to make my life happier?” “What can I do to relax?” “What do I have to look forward to that I should aim myself at?” Confront, tolerate and feel your pain.
