Try not to give in to negativity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Avoiding negativity is, of course, much easier said than done. Despite how difficult overcoming negative thoughts can be, this is an essential step in changing for the better in the New Year. Particularly if you\u2019re coming out of recent difficult experiences, concentrating on the positive things around you will help you avoid being held back by negative thoughts. When you start feeling gloomy, take a deep breath and think of things that make you happy. Resort to easy, accessible steps that you can do quickly in order to cheer yourself up almost anywhere before negative feelings take root. Keep a picture of a very happy memory on your phone, listen to a song that makes you feel cheerful, or look an old text that you\u2019ve saved that makes you feel appreciated. If nothing else works, sometimes you do just have to ride the negative feelings out. Make it your resolution, however, to firmly pick yourself up as best you can once you\u2019ve taken the time to let yourself feel down. Don\u2019t let negativity become the norm!<\/p> \n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Cheerful-Music.jpg\" alt=\"Cheerful Music\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6075\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Practice_gratefulness\"><\/span>2. Practice gratefulness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Thinking of all the things you have to be grateful for can actually help you with your goal of stamping out negativity! If you can think of at least one thing every day that you appreciate in your life, things might look a little brighter. If you operate in your daily routine thinking about how grateful you are for your good job, your nice home, your great friends, or even little things like a yummy breakfast in the morning, you\u2019ll find yourself in a much better mood than if you spend your morning grumbling about how much your commute to work sucks. Practicing gratefulness can also be highly motivating. The more positively you feel about your life and the opportunities you\u2019re afforded, the more likely you are to be pro-active about achieving goals.<\/p>\n  \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dont_forget_about_self_care\"><\/span>3. Don\u2019t forget about self care<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Particularly when you\u2019re very busy, it can be easy to forget to take care of yourself! Of course, you\u2019ll probably still remember to take a shower and eat at some point during the day, but remember that it takes more than the basics the make sure that you\u2019re well cared for mentally, physically, and emotionally. Working hard is important, and also essential to achieving both professional and personal goals, but if you\u2019re working yourself to the bone every day and letting that carry into your weekends, you might burn out. Every once in a while, take a self care day to rest. Take a hot shower, read the book you\u2019ve been meaning to finish, call the friend or relative you haven\u2019t had time to catch up with, or give yourself a few extra hours of sleep. Do what your body needs and what your mind feels like doing. These can be important to thorough wellbeing just like eating enough healthy meals!<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Relaxing-Read.jpg\" alt=\"Relaxing Read\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6076\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Work_on_communication_with_others_and_yourself\"><\/span>4. Work on communication with others and yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Communication is a life skill, both personally and professionally. If you can communicate your wants and needs to others and listen effectively when they answer, you\u2019ll progress towards your goals much more easily. Think about which areas of communication you need to work on most. Maybe you\u2019re an outgoing, talkative person who would benefit from scaling back just a little and listening to those around you more carefully? Maybe you\u2019re a very shy person who keeps their feelings hidden and gets brushed off easily, and so would benefit from speaking up more? Maybe your problem is something as simple as talking too fast or forgetting to check your spelling when you email colleagues? Identify where your communication skills could use improvement, and apply yourself to adopting those improved habits so you can use them as tools to work towards larger goals.<\/p> \n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Practice_stress_management\"><\/span>5. Practice stress management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Some stress management tactics can be done in the moment, some are preventative, and others are done in reflection after you\u2019ve made it through the stressful situation. The important thing to note is that stress can throw off your progress in all other aspects of self-development, so you should be mindful of how it affects you and what triggers you most. Some people use meditation or yoga to calm themselves and reduce stress, while others keep their schedules and workloads as organized as possible so they don\u2019t become overwhelmed. Whether you find an outlet in sports, writing, or social activities, try to channel your stress into something productive to minimize the negative toll it takes on you and the progress you\u2019ve made. Don\u2019t adopt a \u201csuck it up\u201d attitude when it comes to stress if there\u2019s something you can do to help yourself!<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Yoga-and-Meditation.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga and Meditation\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6077\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youre_worth_it\"><\/span>You\u2019re worth it!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Remember, self-development should be an empowering process, not something you feel obligated to put yourself through because you didn\u2019t feel good enough before! You\u2019re simply striving to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
