Secrets of a Positive Attitude

Attitude is Everything

Are you constantly bombarded by feelings of negativity?  Plagued by feelings of insecurity? Do you see everything in a negative manner? The reason for this lies deep within your heart. You are what you mentally & spiritually eat....

If a person drinks alcohol on a every day basis, odds are their body will be affected in some way. They may have liver issues, generate cancer or incur some other type of health problem directly related to the amount of alcohol they have consumed. In the same way, a person who constantly feeds themselves negative thoughts will fundamentally turn in to a negative person.

A great way to know what they are negative about is to ask those people who are closest to us. You can ask your spouse or another person in your life who knows you how they would rate your attitude on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being super positive & 1 super negative. Ask this person to be honest with you. You will benefit from their honesty even if it causes you pain. Ask this person what it is that you specifically say that they perceive as negative. Write down what they say & look at the actual words. Now is the time to be honest with yourself. Those words are a reflection of what is inside you. They are who you are.

The great thing is that you can adjust. It is as simple as making a choice to do so. You must select to replace the thoughts of negativity with thoughts of positivity. Select what words you will adjust the negative words on your paper to. Seven time you have done this, make an hard work to insert these new positive thoughts in your mind. You will start to notice a positive adjust taking place in your life. Your relatives, friends & co-workers will all notice it as well. They may not know what is different about you. But they will know that you are not the same person that you were.

This is the time to go on a diet. A diet of positive attitude food. You must literally stop feeding your mind negative things. Ask yourself is this thought negative or positive or negative? What do negative thoughts look like? Well, they start with cannot than can, no as opposed to yes, will & not won't. The Bible which is the greatest self help book ever written, speaks about taking every thought captive. The problem in our society has become that our thoughts have taken us captive. They have begun to let our thoughts control us.

The items which are causing negativity in your life could well be the news, movies, constantly replaying tragedy in your mind & the list could go on. These things should be eliminated if you require your new mental health regimen to be a success. The news is negative & does not help someone who is trying to rid their mind of such thoughts. When you are feeding yourself thoughts of death from a war or gunshot or automobile accident visually the outcome will be negative.

I do believe there is a time to grieve over the death of a loved seven. However, if a person constantly replays this negative event in their minds it can lead to depression. The person who has passed away is not coming back & they must close that chapter in our lives & move on to the next chapter. This is a difficult task which can only be done by making a decision to proceed with our own life, no matter how hard this may be.

You can do it. You can & will have a positive attitude, if you fundamentally take the steps outlined above. You do not must be what you were historically in the past. You can be different in the future. The choice is yours. I know you will make a positive seven.
