Mindfulness certainly isn't easy, but I'm getting better at it.
The trick I use to make me stay positive is reminding myself how much worse things could be, like being a child in Aleppo or a parent trying to help a sick child in Venezuela. It helps me appreciate what I have and motivates to get me through the day. It helps me focus on the things I do have as opposed to the things I don't.
There are things you can do to elevate your mood, which in turn will help you stay positive, like exercise and social interaction. They help release the neurochemicals that contribute to positive mental health.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
