Positive
attitude
tips
come in many forms, but the
most important ones are those that
impact your life each day...
This
positive
attitude information focuses on getting through the ups and
downs presented to us each day as we are bombarded with negativity.
First, let's
take a
moment to
ask,"What
is Attitude?"
Briefly, it's
your
state of
mind at any given time. And,
yes, you can change
your attitude whenever you desire.
In fact,
attitude is everything
when it comes to your state of mind, health, relationships...
Having a
positive
attitude is very important for happiness and success in life...
If you can "fill
yourself up"
with enough good thoughts, they "ooze" out of you...
I'm
sure you've seen someone
that just "radiates" happiness...
Maybe has
a subtle
glow?
Some kind of "happy" energy that gets your attention and
makes you
wish you could be more like that?
That's what I'm
talking about here.
It's what makes some
people more popular and good at attracting people around them
like a magnet!
It's the positive
attitude they have and the way they react and look at the world around
them!
Living your life with a positive attitude
can do more than
anything else toward getting you whatever you want out of
life. Having a positive attitude in whatever you do will make
things more enjoyable and even much easier.
Attitudes are
the views of a person whether positive or negative. Having a positive
attitude means thinking positive about all the situations in your
life.
The benefits
of a positive attitude
include improved
relationships, improved health, decreased worry, increased enjoyment of
life, increased excitement in life and more motivation - all
of which
move you forward, both in your life and in your career.
And,
of course, all of that sounds great, right? But, how
do we stop negative thinking
and get on with it?
Here
are the positive attitude tips I'll be discussing, which can help you
become a powerful person - especially when facing
today's daily challenges:
Monitor
your "input"
Believe
in yourself
Be
grateful
Help
others

Attitude Tips
MONITOR YOUR "INPUT"
The
first thing that comes to mind when giving positive attitude tips is
how important it really is to identify and "weed out" the negative
influences around you...
There's a lot of
"stuff" out there for us to absorb on a daily basis.
At
work, there are workplace attitudes
that can get you up, down, confused, or even fired.
At
home, there's the newspaper, television, radio and, of
course, other people...
And in your own
head and body, there's "unintentional" programming that you've absorbed
throughout your life.
All
these situations can cause friction if you are trying to maintain
an internally positive picture of life... especially if you listen to
the news!
So,
step number 1:
Become
aware of how you feel before
listening to the news and
after listening
to the news.
Have you absorbed the "world's
worries?"
Worries
that you really can't do much about at the moment?
Now
I know you're saying, "But Suzanne, I have to stay informed!"
Yes,
but you can
stay informed "enough" by reading newspaper headlines as you go about
your day. I do it all the time.
So,
notice how you feel from the media input around you.
Second,
take small steps toward turning off the television and radio.
Don't go
cold turkey, unless you want to do so.
Rather, cut
down little by little
and notice how much impact its absence has on you.
As
a side note to media input: If you have studied NLP (Neurolinguistic
Programming), you know that it is widely used by the media.
What
does that mean? It's subtle mind
control - sometimes called covert hypnosis. Is it everywhere?
No, but one of the best ways to
take charge of your thoughts is to simply know exactly what's
being fed
into your mind, and listening to news puts you "out of control."
Third,
choose good positive material to "fill up the gap"
that
the news and
radio have left.
A good way to initiate
this is to follow
me on Twitter and get a steady
"positive flow" coming into
your life.
This
is the basic strategy of removing the negative influence and replacing
it with the positive.
Next,
when you're around people who are "less positive than you," run a voice
in your head that counteracts their negativity. Every time
they
say something negative - whether it's about you or something else -
just
flip it to the positive and repeat it silently to yourself.
For
example, when someone says to themselves "out loud" something like,
"I'm not good at remembering names," immediately flip it to "I'm great
at remembering names" and repeat that silently to yourself.
Why?
Because
whatever you hear, whether from yourself or others, is programming
you...
By doing this simple exercise,
you
are "canceling" out that negative programming...
Not
letting it get a foothold in your "mind's" door.
This
has a strong impact on overcoming
negativity that surrounds you and pivotal in developing a positive
attitude.
It
teaches you how to become more positive as well as gives you a daytime
"invisible"
affirmations audio and a "sleep meditation" audio
so you
can have positive affirmations continaully inputted straight into your
subconscious without ever "hearing" a word.

POSITIVE
ATTITUDE TIPS
Believe in Yourself
By
believing in
yourself
and believing that you are in charge of your
life, you will have the power to choose
your attitude. You
can choose to "sculpt" your life the way you see fit, or you can choose
to let life throw you around. When life "throws you around" a
bit, remember that bad things can happen, but you don't have to let
them drag you down...
No matter
how bad a
situation may be at the time, good can come out of it if you believe in
yourself enough to take charge.
Once you
open
yourself up to this, you gain strength and learn from the "bad things"
that
occurred in your life. Believing that each moment is perfect even when
bad things happen will help you get through them more
determined to succeed and stronger.
Step number 1:
The
first step in believing
in yourself is to have a self-affirming belief that you hold
the power
to make your life different.
Every night before you
go to bed, say to yourself, "I believe in
myself."
Step number 2:
Mentally
do a "success list" where you list five things you did that
day that you can call a "success."
Be easy on
yourself in the beginning...
If you're depressed,
just getting out of bed counts as a success...
Brushing
your teeth counts.
The point is to get in the
habit of congratulating yourself.
Eventually,
your success list becomes easier and more fun to do.

Attitude Tips
BE GRATEFUL
One
of my favorite
positive attitude tips is to simple be grateful!
There's
something contagious about having an attitude
of gratitude. Your body will get "hooked on it"
and you'll
start being grateful more often than not.
What does
this have to do with your attitude?
It
sets your "temperature" gage for the day. If you start your
day by
being
grateful, chances are that you'll look at the world through "grateful
colored glasses."
This can really keep
your attitude positive.
While
we all have dreams, goals and desires, being grateful for what you
already have helps you achieve your dreams sooner...
It's
the mindset of successful people.
It makes you take
positive action, which attracts positive energy, which attracts
positive attitudes from others around you...
So you
get help keeping a positive attitude. Yayyyhhh!
You
can learn to be grateful.Take
it one step
at a time.
Focus on
what you have going
for you and let those thoughts expand.
Before
you know it, you'll have changed your attitude "set point" because
you've trained yourself to look at the rosier side of life.

HELP OTHERS
There's
nothing like helping others to get you out of your own "funk." Somehow
it just changes your focus from "inside yourself" to "outside yourself"
and has an instantaneous effect on your attitude...
Makes

for
things you can do that can help other people. You'll be
surprised
how good you feel about yourself, which "vaporizes" any negative
attitude.
Practicing
these positive attitude tips daily can "deflect" much of the negativity
you would otherwise absorb from all the media and "bad news" we have
surrounding us today.

expanded each day as you experiment with them. Try them out
