Ways to Improve your Attitude
According to Bruce St. John, Leadership Coach
Work on relationships: They’re our best source of happiness and also our biggest source of problems and frustrations. Develop good relationships and improve or end poor ones.
Develop routine activities: an early morning walk, exercise, meditation, and quite time, are an effective way to get the day off with a positive start. It is easy to stay positive by starting positive.
Manage your negative self-talk. This is a source of low moods – be alert to negative messages. Try to think of that negative voice in your head as an annoying roommate and tune it out. Focus on getting a truthful message, then shifting out of self-defeating criticism. We are usually our own worst critic. Refrain from making judgments, instead think positively.
Attract what you need. Time and energy are best spent pursuing desirable goals. Ask others for what you need. Make a list of goals at the beginning of your week.
Be a positive energy source. Negative energy attracts negative results. Keep your own mood positive and suppress (or ignore) the negative behavior of those around you. Pay it forward: for every kind deed offered to you, do a kind deed for someone else.
Ease up on the internal life commentary. If you want to be happy, stop telling yourself that you’re miserable.
