I learnt that being positive helped changed my out look on things. However, doing so for a brief moment doesn’t help as much in the long run as I resort back into my old habits. But the most effective and soothing experience I found was meditating, which I will definitely try to do more often as it helps me stay calm as well as practice staying in the present and focusing my thoughts on one thing, rather than thinking so much about everything as I usually do.
