- Be aware of your thoughts
Most of us are oblivious of how often we allow pessimism to creep into our thoughts. These thoughts have a profound influence on the decisions and the choices that we make. Take time over the next few days to keep a note of your thoughts. Thoughts like “I could never do that!”, “I’m so fat.” , “This will never work.” This is your ‘negative voice’, be aware of how many times a day it speaks! - Alter your language
That negative voice needs to be replaced by a positive voice. For each negative or pessimistic thought you have, replace it with a positive one. eg. “I could never do that!” – “I’m going to try my best to do that.” Or better yet, “Of course I can do that!” - Begin each day with optimism!
Ever noticed that how your day gets progressively worse if you begin by fighting with your spouse or children, or you let the traffic get you down? Make a commitment to begin each day on a positive note. The attitude you begin your day with affects the rest of the day (and everything you do!). Take time to focus on the things you are grateful for, the people you love, your strengths. Shine a light on all that is good, no matter how small, do whatever you need to do to begin the day with optimism!
Your attitude and energy makes its mark on the world around you, create a surrounding that feels good and supports your best interests!
