2. Be kind

You can further increase your positivity by being positive with other people. The most straightforward way is to be kind to other people and all living things. Being kind and being compassionate creates a positive mindset; it gets you into a cycle of positive thinking and behaviour.

Why? Because when you make an effort to be kind, you have to actively look for opportunities to be kind; to think in positive ways. People appreciate positivity, and the more you share it with others, the more you are practising it in your own life.

If you are caring and supportive to other people, you are likely to get a positive response from them. This will help you feel more positive about yourself and how other people perceive you. Help other people and, in the process, you help yourself.

You may feel you have little to offer, but it only has to be a cup of tea, an invite to dinner or an offer to help someone with a task or chore. You'll lift their spirits and see yourself making a positive difference at the same time.

Plan for kindness; small actions you could take in your daily life. Think about what you might do to show some kindness, then you're more likely to spot opportunities when they come up, when, for example, you notice someone in need. It could be that you give up your seat on the train or bus to someone who needs it more than you. Or that you help someone struggling up the stairs with a baby buggy.

We all have innate kindness and compassion but sometimes it takes a reminder to tune into it. You only need to be a little aware of other people to start seeing opportunities to help. It doesn't have to cost anything or take much time.

What goes around comes around – and with kindness it really does. Being kind to others increases your own chances of someone being kind to you.
