- Enjoy the interaction with the people
- Think and say something positive
- Gather with passionate people. Their passion would be contagious. They will give you the energy to stay positive and even enjoy what you are doing.

- Project forward and think of the reason for doing this
- Relate to other realities. Someone out there may be having it worse than you, so do not complain
