Avoid negative thoughts: Easier said than done. People who naturally tend to overthink and assume the worst out of every situation often do not choose to do so however, after the initial horrible thoughts, we can choose to think about the positive aspects or simply make peace with the fact that this is it is going to be from now on, if there are no positive aspects to the situation. This is a choice which one needs to make and with time, you will or those around you will certainly notice the difference in your thought process.

Be resilient: Once you have made a decision or chosen a side which you know is correct in every single way (morally, ethically, etc), stick to it. Do not engage in self doubt and swing like a pendulum. Make sure you are aligned with your moralities and be resilient in the face of all challenges, because there will be many in a life.

Celebrate victories: No matter how small or seemingly insignificant in the long run or the bigger picture, your victories need to be celebrated and highlighted so at least you yourself can remember how far you have come and what you have achieved.
