The author of "3-Minute Positivity Journal," "The Comfort Zone," and "3-Minute Happiness Journal" has more than 56 million followers on social media, tuned in for practical advice on living your best life.

"With the repetition of positive thoughts and lifestyle habits we build a resilient attitude that can withstand any challenge, and science agrees," Butler said. "Habits like gratitude, affirmations, exercise, healthy eating, hydration, rest, mindfulness, active learning, goal setting, and time management — just to name a few."

Studies have found that when over-worriers are directed to imagine potential positive outcomes instead of negative ones, and to verbalize positive thoughts rather than negative ones, their reported levels of stress, anxiety, and general well-being improve.

But it can be easy to fall into old habits that trap us in more negative thinking.

"Traps that zap our positive attitude that we must be careful of — and psychology agrees — are these: negative self-talk, focusing on the past, comparing yourself to others, blaming, and over-worrying," Butler said.

Butler added that focusing on reducing negativity and cultivating a habit of positivity is the best way to pave a happier life, but she acknowledges it’s hard to stay accountable when we live a busy life.

"That’s why I created a '3 Minute Positivity Journal', which helps boost your mood in three minutes or less.”

The "3 Minute Positivity Journal" is part self-help book, part journal, and teaches how to harness the power of positivity through daily actions that train your mind toward more positive habits.

According to Butler, slight changes in focus and routine can add up to huge results, and she created the journal because "we need accountability when forming new habits."
