1.         Speed more time focusing on the positive things in your life. Accentuate the positive

2.         Speed less time thinking negatively. Eliminate the negative.

3.         Enjoy each moment. Latch on to the affirmation. For example, if you are involved in an accident, you might choose to thank God that you escaped with only minor injuries. You could have been killed; or you could have been paralyzed. You could have been in a coma and become a metal vegetable. Another way rationalized is to believe in coincidences and what they can do.
