How do you stay positive?

@dannoyes I stay positive by embracing the little wins, however small they are. Every day will be a different day and focusing on that day and staying present and in the moment is really key. Everyone will have bad days, however, surrounding yourself with positive, uplifting people, and supportive, loving individuals, can sometimes be the best medicine. I also make sure that I get enough sleep, that I eat healthy whole foods, exercise and have hobbies to interact with people and nature. I find some of the best things do not cost anything. I totally agree with surrounding yourself with positive people that don’t sit and dwell in the negative. It’s not good for mental health and it’s not good for staying positive. I believe the mind and body and staying in a good place is key to moving forward when you face medical issues, challenges, or trials. Another important factor at least I have found in my life, is taking time for yourself whether it’s an hour 45 minutes or 10 minutes, you take your time to just center yourself, or sit in meditation. Thinking of nothing, but a moment of peace and tranquility. It is good to get away from the noise of life. I also have found that having laughter, and smiling, has proven essential to diminish a negative outlook. After all, those of us that suffer with this are all fighters, each and every day of our life, we all persevere, and there is always someone who will have your back. Whether it be family, friends, church, etc, you are never alone.

Don't you almost feel that this perspective is almost as important as our medications? OK maybe I'm overstepping, but it sure does help.
