Positive Attitude Tips

What Are The Benefits Of A Positive Attitude?

Before we look at some positive attitude tips, let's first consider: what is a positive
attitude? The dictionary defines a positive attitude as "A state of mind or a feeling;
disposition." In simple language, what this means is, a positive attitude is a positive
disposition.

There are many positive attitude tips, like becoming aware of what you're thinking,
practicing affirmations, considering your beliefs. But of all the many things you can
do to bring about lasting change, I think the best tip (and the most simple one) is to
remember that you always choose your attitude. In the words of Viktor Frankl who
survived his time in concentration camps during the Nazi Germany era:

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms -
to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

I used to constantly wonder how to stay positive overtime. Once I'd put down the self-
help book I was reading and was back out in the real world, my negative thoughts
would always take hold again. I'd spend all weekend absorbing tomes of wisdom from
the best authors in the self-development industry, but as soon as I was back to work or
talking with friends or family, I'd once again be at a loss for how to remain positive.
It's as if my mind was constantly dragged down by all the interactions I was having. It
was such a drain.

But the truth is, when I finally realized that being positive is a choice I make in every
moment, my life began to change. It wasn't a change in circumstances that brought me
freedom, it was a change in my approach. Realizing I never had to be outwardly angry
or annoyed again, was a wonderful feeling!

Like anything, positive thinking requires practice and repetition to become habit.
Your best chance of successfully changing your thinking habits is realizing you
cannot just simply read a book, marvel at the principles expounded, and hope they
stick.

New habits come about through repetitive action. That's why I've adopted many of the
suggested positive attitude tips. The practice of affirmations is wonderfully helpful.
As are the practices of meditation, exercise (particularly yoga) and healthy eating.

It sounds like a lot of hard work, but once you start practicing these steps regularly
they will become habit.
