What are some effective strategies to maintain a positive outlook on life?

The most important strategy to maintain a positive outlook of life is to try to find the mind and realize that there is no mind. The mind is a bundle of toxic thoughts, and therefore the strategy is to still the mind and kill the mind. Then to flip from what is called NEP to PEP negative energy, which is poison to positive energy, which is power. This happens when we choose positive emotions over negative. What are they? Faith, hope, trust, enthusiasm, courage, confidence, forgiveness, compassion, optimism. We have to overcome pessimism, fear, worry, stress, anxiety, regret, shame, guilt, anger, hate, revenge, jealousy, pride, greed, selfishness. Peace is what we must live with. Ultimately, the best strategy to remain a positive person is to still the mind, lock it and block it and move into a state of consciousness, activating the intellect, discriminating and living a life of eternal happiness.
