See uncertainty as a necessity and an interesting opportunity

As stated by Addicted2Success.com, we live in an ever-changing world and many people feel anxious about the lack of fixed points and how everything is continuously moving forward. Try not to regard this uncertainty as something negative, but rather as an exciting opportunity that will bring you new possibilities.

Just let some things go – and learn not to feel bad about it

Certain things are out of your reach or simply not your priority and you need to leave these alone. Don't be afraid of not being in control of some things and don't feel bad about not being able to deal with them. On the contrary, relish the fact this gives you time to deal with those things which really are important to you.

Enjoy ordinary, everyday little things

During everyday life, we often forget to enjoy the little things: the fact the sun is shining, outside the birds are singing, or it is a subordinate's birthday. Rejoice in these little things, enjoy them, and try to see the world around you as a mosaic of pleasant moments.

See setbacks as opportunities

Setbacks and fouls come and go. Stop worrying about them and instead regard them as opportunities to grow and learn new things.

Do something creative

If all you do every day is routine, mind-numbing work, and nothing creative, it will be hard to maintain a positive outlook. Do some creative activity too. Write, sing, compose or create something using your hands – something not connected with your work.
