NEW YORK, March 16 (UPI) -- U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan says she has moved beyond the "wrong situations" she used to put herself in and is embracing a more positive lifestyle.

Blaming her recent rehabilitation stint on her own decision making, the "Mean Girls" actress says she has changed certain aspects in her life that had caused her problems in the past, People magazine said Sunday.

"I think it was just situations that I was putting myself in," the 21-year-old celebrity said of her troubled past. "I was putting myself in the wrong situations and I didn't have the focus in the right place."

Lohan is currently filming the movie "Ye Olde Times" with comedian Jack Black and is in the midst of recording a new album. The actress indicated her current career efforts represent her new outlook on life.

"I think this is what I love to do," she told People. "I'm just continuing to do it -- in the right ways."
