Explore your creative side. If you haven't had a chance to explore your creative side, now's the time. Taking the time to be artistic and to work with your hands or explore your most original thoughts can do wonders for your power to think outside the box and to therefore think positively. Even if you don't think you're naturally inclined toward creativity, there are a number of ways you can express yourself to become more positive. •Pick up a camera and start taking pictures that inspire you, or even take a photography class.
•Take a ceramics or pottery class and take pleasure from working with your hands.
•Be a creative writer. Try penning a poem, short story, or even try your hand at a novel.
•Take a watercolor or oil painting class. This is a great way to give your mind a break as you focus on the images on your canvas
