    You could try positive affirmations. Like every night before you go to sleep, say out loud something positive you've done that day. And every day when you're getting ready looking in the mirror say out loud something you like about yourself.

    Write down everything you have achieved so far that you are proud of and everything that you want to achieve and think of how you are going to achieve those ambitions.

    Also every negative has a positive so think of the positives rather than the negatives! As a stupid example, say you lose £5 on the floor, yes it may be a loss to you and it may be annoying, but then maybe someone more needing of it would find it which is a good thing.

    Those are some nice suggestions, and if you want to read more, there's actually an article on being positive on thesite.org.

    Personally speaking, I find exercise is always a good one - but I know it's the last thing you want to do if you're feeling a bit lethargic as you are!

    Have you got any idea what could be causing this?
