Forget the past:
If there is anything in life which has to be forgotten at all costs, it is the past. Well, the sad parts at least. Let go of the grudges, breath deep and start a new day. If you cling on to the past, you will never be able to start with a positive energy.

Believe in yourself:
Give yourself credit for all the small and big things you have accomplished in life. Go easy on yourself. Self criticism is healthy only till a certain stage. When you start believing in your own abilities, only then can you make others believe in them too and stay motivated. Reforms should best start at home.

Celebrate:
Do not let go of any event un-celebrated; this does not necessarily mean something grand. When you reach a certain milestone, toss to yourself with a drink.

Laugh:
Fill yourself with company of friends who have a young heart and can laugh out loud with you. Friends with positive criticism are better than the sulking jealous ones.
