How To Have A Positive Attitude
Be Positive, think positive and have a positive attitude are are a few of the quote,,, “How to be positive” phrases we have all heard over and over time and time again. Years ago there was once somewhat of positive thinking movement in which we were all bombarded with how just thinking positive would make everything in our lives fine.
Of course “just thinking positive” has little thunder behind it if you are ill-equipped to parlay that emotion into a positive ‘action’ which is going to give you a positive result. Having a positive attitude is a wonderful ‘first step’ to long term happiness and success; but you have to do more.
Take positive steps, or actions, daily which move you towards specific goals you set for yourself. Here’s an easy example. Let’s say you make a decision that you need to go to the dentist to get a tooth fixed. Once you make that decision the first thing you should do is pick up the phone and make the appointment. Don’t put it off, procrastinate or stall. Never leave a decision on the table without first taking some small ‘positive’ step towards achieving it. This is a simple example but should be applied to everything in life.
Surrounding yourself with positive like-minded people is also a great idea. It’s natural to associate with people who think the way we think and like the things we like so seek out those who are going to edify you and not pull you down. Here’s a great article from the Law Of Attraction Library
How To Attract Positive People
According to the law of attraction, we’re always transmitting positive or negative energy. Others pick up on this and respond likewise.
When you attract like-minded positive people, together you can focus on obtaining your desires. Positive people will encourage and support you. On the other hand, negative people will tell you that you can’t achieve your goals, and that they’re too hard or unreachable.
If you’re continually bombarded with negative phrases in your thinking, such as “I just can’t make ends meet,” “There’s never enough,” or “I just can’t seem to get ahead,” then you’re attracting more negativity into your life.
The universe will always respond to your song, so make your song harmonious with your desires, not your frustrations!
If you find yourself focusing on your small paycheck, physical ailments or unfulfilling relationships, it’s time to make a change. Maybe your parents were role models of criticism instead of encouragement, or maybe you’ve always surrounded yourself with negative friends.
Whatever the reason, it’s time to break this cycle of negativity. Consider raising your standard of expectation. Find people to associate with who emit positive energy.
When seeking other positive people, think of people you admire and identify their traits you especially enjoy. You’ll be generally attracted to people who have a similar sense of humor or who hold the same set of values.
Here are some ways to attract positive people and create more positive energy in your life:
- 1. Look for positive qualities in other people. It’s far easier to see someone’s faults before seeing their goodness. Challenge yourself to look only for a person’s good qualities.
- 2. Be aware of your own finest qualities and project these qualities to the world. This contributes to your self-awareness and increases your self-esteem.
- 3. Exercise compassion toward everyone, including yourself. Negative energy obsesses about unattainable goals. However, positive energy allows us to realize when we’re doing the best we can.
- 4. Value others’ opinions. Positive energy is open-minded. Listen to all points of view and do your best to understand them, regardless of how different from your own they are.
- Trying to change someone’s mind is usually futile, so, even if you’re right, save your energy, understand their opinion, and move on.
- 5. Refrain from judging. Give others the benefit of the doubt. Negative energy is critical in judging others and loves finding fault. Judging produces negative energy and attracts more of the same back to you.
- 6. Be honest. Express your true self in thoughts, words, and actions.
- 7. Don’t be afraid to admit to having occasional negative thoughts and emotions. We’re all human, and negative thoughts are a part of human nature. The key is not to dwell on them.
- 8. Celebrate the success and happiness of others. Negative energy is jealous, but positive people are thrilled when others succeed. Use someone else’s success as a motivator to make you a better person.
- 9. Balance fulfillment and serving others. If you spend your life trying to please others, you may find yourself ignoring your own needs. Positive energy is balanced.
- 10. Persevere in spite of fear or defeat. We all experience defeat and disappointment! Rather than bemoaning a setback, use it as a chance to learn something new and prepare for your next challenge.
- 11. Follow your dreams and desires. Embrace your joy every step of the way as you achieve your goals. Continue Reading Full Article Here
