Just like any good thing, I feel like it takes maintenance to keep a good mindset.

I spent this past year recovering from having really bad anxiety. I realized that there were many bad habits that led to the anxiety. One of them starting with having a lot of negative thoughts that induce fear and worry. I purposely try to start the morning either reading or meditating to have better thoughts throughout the day. I also feel like diet and working out also helps release better chemicals in the mind. As I have traces of my anxiety still left in me, I find my mind occasionally wandering back into that state of pessimism. I am trying to find effective ways to maintain the optimistic mind.

What are some ways that you maintain a good mindset?
