I love this question; I get this allot - how to do this?
This is what prompted me to write a book about it.
I genuinely believe that shifting our thoughts towards a more positive way of thinking can shape our lives. 
In my latest book, I write about a process called the #R's Release, Reach, and Reframe.
This technique has helped me shift fast because I am more aware of the thinking that is keeping me stuck.
Release the thought, reach for a new one, and reframe it by turning it into a positive future statement. 
Try it and see how you go.
