    LET’S BEGIN…

    Thank you for downloading this guide!

    In the following pages you will find five tips you can use to improve your
    mood and feel better immediately.

    As someone who used to struggle with mental health issues, I had to learn
    how the human mind works. When you pay more attention to your thoughts
    and feelings, you have the ability to change them, and, in turn, change your
    life.

    Although learning to control your thoughts takes time, the five tips I am going
    to share are super easy (especially the first one).

    When it comes to doing something new, most people struggle with just
    starting​, so ideally you want to take action as soon as you finish reading this
    guide.

    Let’s begin…
    1. DON’T LISTEN TO THE NEWS
    Detach yourself from negativity. Avoid the noise. Focus on
    what truly matters to you.

    Almost all news you see online, or on TV, are designed to grab your attention.
    What’s even worse is they usually do this by generating f​ ear​.

    If this seems like an exaggeration to you, try to analyze some of the news you
    see online, or on TV. Pay attention to the titles and the images they use;
    notice how your thoughts and emotions change as you see them.

    I am not saying you should isolate yourself from the world.


    But you ​must​ isolate yourself from negativity, especially when it has nothing
    to do with your own life.

    Think: when you find out about the latest horrible event, does it help you —
    or the world — in any way?

    If you want to be happy, start ignoring the noise, and the fear mongering.
    Don’t let them steal your precious time, your energy, and your mental health.

    Don’t listen to the news unless 100% necessary, and focus on what truly
    matters to y
    ​ ou​. It will make your life so much better.
    2. THINK OF THE FUTURE
    No matter where you are in your life right now, the future is
    waiting for you. And it’s incredibly exciting.

    As you are reading this guide, you may be going through one of the best
    times of your life, or one of the toughest.
    Whatever your current situation is, there is one proven way to create instant
    motivation: thinking of an e
    ​ xciting future​.

    Depending on your current circumstance, you may want to focus on, or plan,
    the next month, or the next six months, or the next two years. It really
    depends on w
    ​ hat​ you want to experience, and ​how long​ it takes you to get
    there.

    I don’t recommend planning anything five years or more from now, at least
    not for the purpose of this guide. You want to think of an experience in the
    near future — whatever that means to you — so your mind can still visualize
    it, and perceive it as real.

    Having a goal that’s too far ahead might actually have the opposite effect on
    you: focusing on something that’s going to happen in ten years will probably
    feel a little daunting.

    It’s perfectly fine to dream big, but make sure you do plan in the s​ hort term
    as well, and make sure it’s incredibly exciting.
    3. CHOOSE WHO YOU ARE
    Be the best version of yourself. Define your identity. Change
    your self image.

    So… who are you?


    Don’t let the external world define this. The “external world” could be society,
    your job, your acquaintances, your partner, or even your parents.

    Even if you are surrounded by people who believe in you, it’s important to
    identify who you t​ ruly​ want to be.

    Now more than ever, most of us are constantly reminded of who we u


    ​ sed​ to
    be (not necessarily who we w
    ​ ant​ to be, right now, or in the future). This
    happens every time you are checking your main social media profile or your
    smartphone. It happens during your daily job, meetings, and phone calls.

    Take some time and think of a definition that will create a powerful self
    image. You may want to write this down, as it’s easy to forget. Here’s some
    ideas to inspire you:

    4. EXERCISE, AND MAKE IT FUN
    A sure way to become depressed is to sit all day every day.
    Use your body, and make it enjoyable.

    Chances are, you already know the importance of physical exercise, and the
    effects it has on your mental health.

    Countless studies have shown how moving your body increases happiness
    and reduces stress. You could feel better r​ ight now​ just by standing up, and
    walking for a couple minutes. It’s that simple.

    My advice to you is: make it enjoyable, and make sure it’s not too
    overwhelming. If you hate a particular kind of workout, you are never going to
    do it, no matter what the health benefits are.

    Much like a diet, physical exercise must be a h


    ​ abit​ — something you are
    willing, and capable of doing long term. So if you haven’t already, ask
    yourself: what kind of physical exercise would I love?

    Working out at the gym isn’t for everyone, so you may want to consider
    activities such as walking, cycling, Tai Chi, yoga, or dancing.

    Whatever you prefer, make sure you make this a p


    ​ riority​. If you exercise
    already, consider increasing the frequency of your training sessions.
    5. ELIMINATE GUILT COMPLETELY
    Making mistakes makes you grow. Dwelling over your
    mistakes doesn’t. Just let go.

    You are perfectly fine. Your past is perfectly fine too.

    Everything we have done, and everything we have gone through so far, has
    shaped our personality. So from today forward, be ​proud​ of who you are no
    matter where you are in your life.

    The same applies to the way you look, the way you think, the way you talk,
    you name it.

    Besides being terrible for your mental health, guilt also prevents you from
    getting the life that you ​deserve​.
    As long as you focus on what you’ve done wrong, or what you don’t like
    about yourself, you are telling your subconscious mind that you are not
    worthy of all the things you desire (or used to desire).

    Remember: whatever your issue is, there’s nothing wrong about you.

    If you want to change anything in your life — including yourself — do so


    simply because you deserve more. Eliminate guilt and allow yourself to shine.
    AWESOME!

    Thank you for reading this guide!

    Please take some time right now and think of how you will implement some
    of the tips I gave you. It’s important to take action immediately, otherwise you
    may end up forgetting about this.

    If you are able to turn these techniques into habits, I guarantee you will feel
    happier, calmer, and more motivated than the vast majority of people.

    Feel free to read this guide again, and as many times as you want.
    Remember: improving your life is easy — you just need to know how.
