Don't forget to have fun. Okay, it's a cliche but it's said often for good reason –– people who seek a bit of regular fun in their lives tend to be happier and more positive because it isn't all drudgery and never-ending monotony. Fun breaks up the hard work and challenges. Here are some great ways to become more positive by having fun: •Do something completely out of your comfort zone, such as skydiving or rock climbing, and see how much fun you have.
•Always make time for laughter. Hang out with friends who make you laugh, go to a comedy club, or watch a funny movie. It'll be hard to think negatively when your funny bone is being tickled.
•Always plug fun into your schedule. If you're a stressed-out workaholic with no time for fun, then you're much more likely to think negatively. Work a few hours into your week when you'll have license to laugh, goof off, and not take life so seriously.
•Just be plain silly. Tell bad jokes with your friends, play dress up, or play charades. You won't be able to think negatively if you're too busy goofing off and having fun.
