  1. Embrace change—Change is difficult for most people, but something we’re always going to experience. Instead of thinking about what you’ve lost, think about how change can positively influence your life or pick one thing you’re grateful for or have learned as a result of change

  2. Set small goals—We often focus on the big goals in our lives, but the smaller ones are more influential to a positive mindset. Choose two or three small things you want to change and celebrate small wins every single time!
