I’m convinced that having a positive attitude is the single most important quality you can implement in your life this year. Not just this year, every year! But if that is something that you struggle with, then I say this is the year to make a change! Having a positive attitude will help you in every aspect of your life, whether it be personal, business, mental, spiritual, etc. In fact I think it is so important that I once wrote a whole book about it (click here to view). But I’m not the only one that thinks it’s important, go to any book store or library and you will find shelves full of books on how to improve your attitude and change your life! It’s not hard to determine that life’s most successful people have a pretty good handle on positive attitude! Some practices that I have found helpful in maintaining a positive attitude are Goal Setting, Prioritizing, organization, visualization and having a sense of humor! Over the next few weeks I would like to touch on these subjects more fully, but for today I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes and a mission. The quote:
“Take control of your destiny, believe in yourself,
avoid negative sources, people, places, things,
and habits. Don’t give up and don’t give in and
you will always be a winner to the person who
matters most . . . YOU!
Your mission should you choose to accept it (lol, I did just see mission impossible… very good show BTW), is to write down your personal goals for the year. Be specific and write it all down, preferably somewhere you will be able to view it multiple times per day!!!! Break them into monthly, weekly, or Bi-weekly pieces. This will make it much easier to see where you are at each week and what you need to be doing to reach your goals. I can’t stress that enough. A goal without a written plan is just a dream floating around in the back of your head! Don’t just say “I want to lose weight.” Instead break it into smaller more workable pieces such as ” I will lose 2 pounds per week and workout 2-3 times per week.” See the difference? Most importantly, no more “I can’ts”, strengthen your attitude by telling yourself, “I can!” Alright now go get your game on!!! Happy New Year everyone!
