When you're feeling low or anxious, it's easy to think negatively about yourself and avoid support from others. Try to beat this feeling and find someone to talk to. You may be surprised at how much better you'll feel, and how you'll probably be welcomed with open arms.

#03. Create a Positive Mindset

While you may not always find yourself in a good situation, it's always possible to see the positive and there are steps you can take to create a positive mindset. People see real progress in their happiness when they make a mindset shift. Emotional health doesn't mean being happy and positive all the time. Our genetics and environment dictate our baseline levels of happiness. So, some elements are out of your control. But by studying emotional health and implementing healthy habits, you can get to a point where you deal with your emotions in constructive, healthy ways. 

#04. Remember Your Good Points

No one is perfect. It can be easy to think that others are more talented, successful, and have more opportunities when you're feeling low. Remind yourself of all the things you do well, then find the evidence to balance out critical thoughts, which tend to increase when we're stressed.

#05. Find Your Purpose

Purpose means different things for different people, and our own sense of purpose often intertwines with the goals we set. Unfortunately, most people don't wake up one day and have a 'Eureka' moment where their purpose is suddenly clear. There will always be an element of trial and error when it comes to discovering a sense of purpose. To start this process focus on a new habit, skill, or hobby. Is there a sport that you've always wanted to try but never had time to? Is there a practical skill you want to learn? If you can think of something new to try, start there. Often one positive step leads to another.
