What are ways you try and look for the positives in negative situations?

My mental illness for example. I feel things very, very intensely. It has a lot of negatives, but I think about how empathetic it makes me, how loyal I am to the people I care about. I approach it with a “work on the negatives, keep the positives” mindset. It helps me not feel so hopeless or crazy.

I got over abuse by saying to myself that one day I will sue, and get justice. I never did, but it helped me through a tough time.

For me it is simply a way of thinking. There always may be a reason something is done the way it is at a specific time in a specific situation.
For me, it helps me wrap empathy around things.
