How to Develop a Positive Attitude
Why are some people more successful, whereas others tend to be
unsuccessful? Is there a gene that drives some people to be more
successful or do people make themselves more successful? This is a
contentious question today among people who want to be more successful
and live a happier life. Self-improvement is a branch of psychology and
it tries to find the answers to these questions. One of its
recommendations for such people is positive thinking. Positive thinking
is becoming a buzzword today. However, whether we know enough about it
and we can implement it in our lives is still a big question mark. It is
impossible to create a positive attitude overnight. There are some
steps we need to take in order to create a positive attitude or to think
positively. We should initially change our negative thoughts and
attitudes into positive ones and then we should also adopt some habits
that are essential to do so. After this, you will become a positive
thinker.
First of all, in order to create a positive attitude towards events,
we should change some internal factors. One step is to forget about all
negative thoughts and attitudes. These should be changed into positive
thoughts and attitudes. For example, before doing a task which you have
not experienced you should say ‘ This is a great opportunity to learn
something new.’ instead of ‘I have no credentials and experience with
this, so it will be a failure.’ Of course this is just one step,
consistency is also crucial for developing a positive attitude. You
should never give up and you should disregard whatever other people say
even if they label you as stupid.
Secondly, some habits should also be changed so as to have a
positive attitude. For instance, you should have a healthy diet and you
should refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol. When you have done
this , you will see that both your mind and your body will be healthy.
In addition to taking on such healthy habits, choosing your friends with
consideration of their implications for your positivity is also
important. It should not be forgotten that your milieu has adverse
effects on your mood and positivity. If you want to create a positive
attitude, you should be with positive people, as they can contribute to
your effort to develop a positive attitude.
In conclusion, in today’s world, where efficiency and success take
precedence over anything else, having a positive attitude towards events
and situations is very helpful. However, sometimes the circumstances
that you are in may not let you create a positive attitude, but you
should keep it in your mind that if a person really wants to do
something, s/he will achieve it no matter what. Changing ,your
,negative, thought,s and, attitudes, into, positive ,ones, and,
adopting, new, and ,healthy ,habits, will ,assist ,you, in creating, a
positive, attitude.
