1.  Your attitude is your most valuable asset.   Nourish it with positive ideas, books and loving people who compliment you and look for ways to compliment and support them.
2. Write a list of things you’re thankful for…..  my favorite tool to keep me on track with being positive is the "Miracle Manifestation Journal" technique.  Her pages on appreciation give a whole new meaning to thinking positive thoughts.  She suggests that you not only identify WHAT you appreciate but WHY.   here are some examples:  I truly appreciate MY LIFE  because it is filled with limitless possibilities for me to explore.                           I really appreciate ELECTRICITY because it provides limitless ways for me to be comfortable, creative, and productive. Jacuelyn Aldana provides a full page of powerfully positive new ideas for appreciating your life.   
3. Write down three kind things that were done for you today
4. or  kind things that you did for someone else…..Kindness comes with no strings.Did you hold the door for someone?  Say something nice to the cashier? Let a car merge?
5. Think of a person who has made a positive difference in your life. Who and why? Write a note to them and thank them and tell them how and why they made a difference.
6. Make a list of four things you do well: cooking, cleaning, organizing, story telling, loving
7. Think of a way you could surprise and delight someone you love tomorrow.
8. Write down at least 10 things that you like about yourself. If you like yourself you become immediately more attractive to others.
9. Think of your favorite physical activities as a child—biking, skipping,dancing, monopoly,Uno, Yahtzee..do them again.  Do them with your children.
10. Write down three things that your children have done well lately.  Compliment them, ,preferably in front of your children and others.
