^ That's sorta tricky question because it's different for different people. In general, accomplishing something makes us feel better about ourselves.
Also, I've read that 80% of what most people say when they talk to themselves is negative, so getting rid of that negative voice may be a step for you.
Affirmations also work, as well as intentions. For example "I am a positive person making a great contribution to the world". Write it down. Writing things down triggers the consistancy and committment tendency in us and we're more likely to believe it and do actions that agree with that belief.
Listening to audio programs makes me feel better. Reminding yourself of your past achievments when you're feeling down also helps.
