2. Compliment yourself every day
Limit negative thoughts by saying positive things about yourself. It may feel awkward at first, but after a while you will get used to it and stop feeling self-conscious and questioning your past mistakes.
Negative thoughts can come at any time, don't avoid them, face them, tell yourself that they are not real and replace them with more positive ones.
3. Write down the good things every day
You can write it down in a small notebook or simply write it on a piece of paper and put it in a glass jar. This way you will appreciate the life you have and gradually feel more love for life.
After a while, open it up and read it again to see the good things that have come your way, whether small or big.
4. Write down the positive aspects of each challenge.
When you encounter difficult tasks, do not worry too much about the challenges you have to face, but think about what this job will bring you. Be it material or experience, no matter how little or much, just write it down. This will give you more motivation to complete that difficult task.

Whenever you feel happy, remember that moment. Remind yourself of happy times to always feel comfortable, whether you are working or resting. Gradually, you will have the habit of being satisfied with the present, forgetting unnecessary trivial worries.

Learn to rely on yourself and not depend on anyone else. This is an extremely effective method to help yourself become more resilient and stronger.
Whenever things go wrong and you start to criticize yourself, ask yourself: “Would I do that to my best friend? Would my best friend treat me that way?”
The answer is definitely no. Learn to love yourself the way you love your best friend.
7. Learn to say no without making excuses
Whenever someone asks you to do something that you don’t want to do, don’t be afraid to say no. Making excuses will only put you in an awkward situation and will make you feel guilty later. Consider the reason you don’t want to do it as a valid reason, and being honest with the other person is also being honest with yourself. This is difficult but not impossible, you can do it.
8. Take care of yourself 20 minutes a day
If you want to help and protect others, you must first be healthy yourself. Take time to take good care of yourself, meet your small needs to keep your mind comfortable.
It could be doing your nails, taking care of your skin, or simply making a cup of milk tea... Give yourself a short period of time to do the things you like, then continue with the work that needs to be done.
9. Establish a hobby, a daily activity that brings joy
Maintaining a regular activity not only helps you learn to organize and allocate time better but also improves your mental health. Choose an activity you enjoy, such as exercising, reading, cooking, etc. By regularly practicing these hobbies, you will become healthier or more proficient at a skill, thereby gaining more confidence in yourself.
10. Learn to be satisfied and limit complaints
Complaining too much can lead to a spiral of negative emotions. Whenever something doesn’t go your way, instead of complaining, try to find something you’re happy about. Learn to be grateful for the present. Consider lowering your standards a little to keep yourself in a comfortable state.
11. Get enough sleep
Sleep plays a very important role in improving mental health. When you lack sleep, you will become tired, irritable, make bad decisions and your mental health will decline.
Therefore, get enough sleep. You need at least 8 hours of sleep every night, if you exercise a lot, you need more sleep to recharge. If you are stressed, find a way to relax and soothe yourself before going to bed to optimize the effectiveness of sleep.

13. Reduce time spent on social media
We always show off the glamorous side of life on social media and then end up silently comparing ourselves to others. This will bring unnecessary negative emotions, distract you from your current life and forget the good things around you.
Cut down on the time you spend on social media and use this time to connect, chat with friends or do things you enjoy. Social media is just an entertainment platform, don’t let it dominate your life.
14. Find at least 3 good words and beautiful ideas to read every day
Words of encouragement may seem empty, but they can have a huge impact when you feel discouraged.
Take the time to design beautiful words, maybe add some eye-catching pictures and put them in places you often pass by every day. When you are stressed, reading the words of encouragement will help you feel a little more calm.

16. Stop trying to please others
In our efforts to be good people, we often force ourselves to please everyone. It is impossible to satisfy everyone's needs. Be satisfied with what you can do within your limits. Don't make other people's happiness your goal.
17. Set aside a small amount of money each month to pamper yourself.
Saving is good, but don't be too stingy. Set aside some money to reward yourself for your achievements, or to console yourself if things don't go as planned.
Maybe it's buying a new shirt, going to the movies, going on a picnic, etc. Allow yourself to enjoy some "expensive" pleasure every month!
18. Don't chase relationships that drain your energy.
Cultivate relationships with positive people who make you feel good and limit your interactions with negative people.
This is not easy because it is difficult to measure whether a relationship is healthy or toxic. Set boundaries for yourself and when someone crosses those boundaries, do not hesitate to end the relationship with them.
When you don't have to spend time with "toxic" people, you'll have more energy to focus on the positive things in life.
19. Remove the word “should” from your dictionary
The word “should” is often associated with feelings of guilt, judgment, or obligation, all of which are not very positive feelings. Replace this heavy word with more positive words, such as: “Iwantbecome stronger" or "me"wantchange daily habits”,...
20. Take time to write in your journal in the morning or evening.
If you choose to journal in the morning, write down your dreams or write down what you were worried about last night and shake it off to start a new day. Or you can write down your goals for the new day, write down what you hope for and what you want to see.
If you choose to journal in the evening, write down the things that upset you during the day and the things that brought you joy, then tell yourself that the day is over.
