Good morning, @antonieta71, Babysteps. Little changes daily will be your key to moving to a more positive frame of mind. It takes repetition to change old habits so don’t expect changes overnight. But don’t give up, you can do this! ☺️ You have control over your effort and your attitude.

I have a quote that’s taped to my bathroom mirror and I read it every day, though I know it by heart. I’ve had the original copy for almost 40 years! It became the motivating factor in my life since the very first time I read it.
“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it will be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it!” Groucho Marx

Mayo Clinic has a really great page on Healthy lifestyle and stress management. Start with this page and then take a look online for other sites dedicated to positive thinking. There are videos on youtube to help with mindfulness exercises and also motivational videos. All of a sudden, just the right thing will resonate with you like the Groucho Marx quote did with me.

Being postivie doesn’t mean you never have a negative thought. It just means you don’t let those thoughts control your life.
What positive things have impacted you today so far?

Grouchy didn't deserve that name. But he lives on in his quote, right? You will see that I struggle with getting others quotes right but isn't there one also that says yesterday is gone; tomorrow isn't here yet; but TODAY is a present. Close enough and I must go open my present day 😎🤔
