Interestingly, quality routines as the basis of being a positive person are anti-consumption in the vast majority of ways.

As you note, get away from the panaceas at 9:99 (add in relevant currency) and elixirs for life (no added sugar but watch out those E numbers).

Look inside yourself and breath - Breath, box breathing as the mind clears then focuses (Yep, I am also a journal person - paper for data, heads for thinking).

Don't forget the conversation with yourself and / or significant other. Great to sponsor reflection and clear refracted (ie distorted) thinking
