10 SIMPLE HABITS TO GROW A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Our life is a reflection of our attitude. Without even noticing it, it can be easy to become negative and cynical towards the world as we are continuously exposed to  tragedy and injustice in the media and as we experience our own heartache and distress.

Not only is a negative attitude preventing you from fully enjoying your life, it can have a significant impact on your environment. The energy a person brings with them is contagious. One of the best things you can offer your family, organization or community is your positive attitude.

In the wise words of Michael Jackson, “If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change.” As creatures of habit, by making small adjustments to your daily life and mindset, positive habits can be formed to make yourself and everyone you interact with happier.  Here is a list of 10 habits that can turn a gloomy outlook into an effortlessly optimistic attitude.

1. Keep a gratitude journal.

Sometimes one single event can ruin an entire day and an unpleasant interaction or experience at night can overshadow the enjoyable parts of our day. With this awareness that our mind tends to cling to the negative, we can intentionally focus on the good parts of our day to offset this imbalance. Try writing down 5 things that you feel grateful for every day and see how your attitude changes. Science has found that gratitude can significantly increase your happiness, and protect you from stress, negativity, anxiety and depression. Check out this list of 13 ways gratitude will significantly improve your life.

2. Reframe your challenges.

There are no dead ends, only re-directions. Although we might try, there are very few things in life that we have complete control over. We should not let uncontrollable occurrences from the outside turn our inner to mush. What we can control is the effort that we put in and when we give our full effort, there is no reason for regret. Have fun with challenges, embrace them as adventures instead of  attempting to resist an experience for growth. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn.” – Robert Kiyosaki

3. Get good at being rejected.

Rejection is a skill. Chalk every broken heart and failed job interview as practice because no one gets to slide through life without being rejected. Don’t let it harden you and don’t expect the worse. If you wait for bad things to happen, chances are it will or you’ll narrow in on the bad in the midst of the may good things you’ve missed along the way. When there are cracks in your heart, they let the sun in.

4. Use positive words to describe your life.

The words that we use have a lot more power than we think. How you talk about your life is how your life will be. Your mind hears what you say. If you describe your life as boring, busy,  mundane, chaotic, that is how you will percieve it and you will feel the effects in your body and mind. If you use the words simple, involved, familiar or lively, you will see your life in a whole different light and find more enjoyment in the way you chose to shape your life.

A study from US data suggests that having a positive attitude is not only has a direct effect on your happiness, it is also correlated with your earning wage.

5. Replace have with get.

Do you ever notice how many times we say that we have to do something?  I have to go to work. I have to go grocery shopping. I have to pay my rent. Now change this one little word to get and see what happens. I get to go to work. I get to go grocery shopping. Even, I get to pay my rent. Your attitude quickly changes from needing to fulfill obligations to being grateful for the things that we become accustomed to having:  a job to support you and your family, food on the table, and a roof over your head. Try to make this change when you are thinking to yourself and you may feel and appear happier and less stressed.

6. Don’t let yourself get dragged into other people’s complaints.

Your day was going pretty well and then you get to work and your co-worker can’t stop complaining about the cold weather. You didn’t really think about it before he/she brought it up and now you find yourself agreeing and joining in on the complaint-fest of how sick you are of this cold weather. In a month you’ll be pulled into complaints about how it’s too hot. Don’t fall into the trap. A study done at the Warsaw School of Social Psychology shows that complaining leads to lower moods and negative emotions, decreased life satisfaction and optimism, and emotional and motivational deficits.  You might find that your co-worker will complain less without the validation of someone else having the same complaint.

7. Breathe.

Our breath is directly connected to our emotions. Have you noticed we hold our breath sometimes when we are concentrating on something? Can you feel your breath change when you are angry or anxious? Our breath changes depending on how we feel. The great news is that the connection goes the other way too. We can also change how we feel using our breath! Check out this infographic on the scientific benefits of breathing.

8. Notice the righteous in times of tragedy.

It’s hard to have hope and stay positive when hate and violence is all over the media. What we don’t see as much is that in every instance of natural disasters, war, traumatic experience, you will find people rising up, reaching out to each other and showing raw compassion and love. Hold onto the stories of modern day heroes and selflessness in the times of fear and devastation.

9. Have solutions when pointing out problems.

Being positive doesn’t mean that you have to be oblivious to problems. Positive people have constructive criticisms to improve conditions. If you are going to point out problems in people or situations, place just as much effort into suggesting solutions. Instead of pointing out all of the things that are wrong, offer ways to make it better.

10. Make someone else smile.

Who do you think about most of the time? If we answered honestly, most of us would say themselves. It’s good to hold ourselves accountable, take responsibility for our life roles, hygiene, food, etc. but set a goal for each day to make someone else smile. Think about someone else’s happiness and it will help us to realize our immense impact that our attitude and expression has on the people around us.

I know that change takes time. Think of building positive behavior in the same way as building strength and fitness. This is an end that requires continuous efforts.

Learn about your strongest qualities and feed them. Focus on your strengths to help you create more positive psychological experiences. This in turn will make dealing with crises much easier.

Make a list of things you enjoy doing and things that you enjoy. Try doing some of these things regularly. This will increase your inventory of positive experiences.

Books about positive things in your day. Check out your day and look for positive things. This can include things that made you feel happy, proud, amazed, grateful, calm, satisfied, or otherwise positive.

Take back your morning routine, for example, and spend some time observing the moments when you felt peace or happiness. This may include a beautiful scene you see in the morning or the first sip of coffee you drink or any interesting conversation you have had.

Make a special time to focus on the moments when you felt proud of yourself or someone else. These things can be small, as you feel grateful to your partner for arranging the bed. You can also feel proud of the way you have accomplished a task or challenge you have set for yourself.

You may find that starting to meditate on the positive moments of the day will help you a lot. Test positive emotions to help you cope with negative moments

Re-frame negative moments as positive thoughts. Look for negative moments in your list and take some time to reframe these moments in a way that turns them into positive (or at least neutral) feelings.

If you have been very angry during driving, for example, reframe the intention of the other driver and consider that what he did was just an unintended mistake. If you feel embarrassed by something that happened during the day, think that this attitude may be ridiculous and invite laughter. Even if a banker is upset by your coffee, mistakes occasionally occur. Your manager may also see the funny side of it if you have a good luck.

You will be able to handle situations better if you do not deal with small errors such as life-changing experiences. One way to deal with the position of pouring coffee is to express your interest in the safety of your manager and that it is not burned. You can then offer to buy another shirt for your manager during the period of your stay or show the cleaning of the blotchy shirt.

"Make someone else smile". best point to develop positive attitude. Thank you Dr. Hassan nima.

Good coping skills increase positive emotions over time. The benefits of testing positive emotions are very valuable. These feelings last longer than your happiness test period and you can take advantage of the "happiness stock" you have in other moments of life and in different mental states.

Do not worry if you have problems building positive feelings. You can also use the memories you already own to build your Happiness Stock.

Remember that everyone is going through life problems. It's important to remember that everyone has small and enormous life problems, so you are not alone. Re-framing of extreme reactions requires some training, as well as some time to modify and accept them. However, simple things can be abandoned through training. You will be able to see the bigger problems correctly and consider them opportunities to learn from.

Familiarize yourself with your internal critic. The "internal critic" within you can hurt a process that advances your positive behavior.

You may find that your internal critic has described you as a clumsy person when you poured coffee on your manager. Your internal critic always frustrates you and leads to harming you. Consider the times when your inner critic says such bad things. You will have more information about the times and situations in which your internal critic appears.

You can also start challenging your internal critic and other negative thinking. This is an important part of developing positive behavior.

It all starts with changing the way you think. Most people think in the “wrong” way, which means they think they are a victim of life and that everything happens to them. That they have no power and/or influence.

You can start by realizing there is great power in you, that you can control about everything in your life by the way you think. Your thoughts are like a satellite dish: thoughts are energy. Whatever you send out, reflects back to you. So let’s say you think that you feel miserable, this thought attracts all kinds of people and situations in your life that confirm you feeling miserable. This is a subconscious process. So you are a powerful sender and receiver. Keep this in mind!

• Start becoming aware of the way you think. Observe your thoughts several times a day, just to become aware of them.
• If bad thing happen in your life, immediately think: “Okay, this is not nice, but I just know something good will come out of it in the end and I can’t wait to see what it is!”
• From now on change the word “problem” into “situation”, “chance” and/or opportunity. Don’t call it a problem anymore!
• Regularly repeat this phrase in silence, written and/or out loud: Every day, in every way, I feel better and better”.
• Smile a lot. Start your day with smiling for 1 minute and then go on doing what you always do. Notice the difference!
• When you feel a negative emotion, start looking around for beautiful things for a minute or so. This changes your mindset.
• Practice gratitude! Be grateful that you breathe, be grateful for the sun, the moon, the food you had, the clothes you wear, all that you appreciate in life, become aware of it. Before you fall asleep, think about all the stuff you appreciate and do the same thing in the morning when you awake.
• Listen to beautiful music, sing, dance, do this on a daily basis, even when you don’t feel like it, just do it. Be willing to CHANGE something in your daily habits!
• Read inspiring books, that make you feel good. Read a book every day, a physical book is best!
• Listen to inspiring and motivational audios!
• Be very selective with the people you hang out with, choose your friends wisely. Avoid the negative people, avoid those that always criticize you and/or others or those that blame others/society for their misery. Hang out with positive people!
• Stop watching the news, reading newspapers and other negative sources that make you feel bad. Watch a beautiful movie and/or comedy instead. Read stuff that makes your feel good instead!

It takes time to change your mindset. But it is possible if you are willing to learn, to change, etc.

Last tip: LOVE yourself! Look at yourself in the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself: “I love you so much, you are awesome, you are an amazing human being, there is only one of you, you are here for a reason to express your beauty and talents to support others and yourself, you are gifted, you are so wonderful, I really, really love you soooooo much”.

Loving yourself and changing the way you think. Simple to learn, it takes a life time to practice, but it’s worth every effort! ♥

In my opinion, we need to practice religion as a basis for living a positive life. For example, the concept of friendship, conscientiousness, conduct justice for all people irrespective of religion and status, and so forth.

Thank you Professor ......

From my point of view and personal experience, the positive attitude can be achieved as follows:

• Openness to change to learn new knowledge and develop other skills
• Disposition to "Unlearn" what has been considered by scientists, technicians and humanists; that do not have methodological, logical or axiological bases, to continue being considered as valid knowledge
• Consider conscience, creativity, thought and spirituality; as wonderful qualities of the miracle that is life, and therefore, value them in their due dimension.
• To perceive the degree of advance reached in personality, knowledge, intellect, feeling and emotions; in order to ponder them on their own humanity; and the responsibility to support, guide and care for those who have not yet achieved it. for individual, genetic or secondary weaknesses to the context where they develop.
• Learn to work in a team and give the best of yourself, when you are a collaborator or when circumstantially or by vocation or training, you are responsible for being a manager or coordinator of work groups.
• Critically question the established especially what limits the freedom of action and thought of people; and be able to express dissent and act to change the situation in their sphere of influence
