For some reason in this world today it seems to be hard for people to keep a positive attitude and spread positivity. Well this month, Eta Sigma Delta is recognizing Positive Attitude Month and is also practicing having a positive attitude in everyday life.
Honestly in the world we live in it is not hard to see why people have negative thoughts and bad attitudes however, you have to focus on the good in everything because, there is a lesson to be learned in whatever happens in your life. You might not see it at the time but in due time it will reveal itself.
The question is, is it possible to maintain a healthy, happy attitude when the world itself is negative? Of course it is! It is possible to stay positive and to wake up thanking God you opened your eyes and able to see another day. Not only is having a positive attitude better for your life to be able to enjoy it but it can also improve your overall health and relationships with others.
Here are 7 tips to help you stay positive by Kathy A. Eubanks.
1. Decide to have a positive attitude. We are responsible for our own happiness; other people can’t MAKE us happy. We need to decide to make ourselves happy. This is wonderful because now we don’t have to wait around for someone else to do it for us.
2. Surround yourself with positive people. We become like the people we spend the most time with. When we surround ourselves with negative people, we become negative. When we surround ourselves with positive people, their attitude is contagious.
3. Use positive affirmations. A.L. Kitselman said, “The words ‘I am….’ are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to.” We need to replace our negative self talk with positive affirmations. Replace “I hate getting up in the morning” with “I am grateful for a new day.” Eventually changing our self talk will lead to the changes in our behavior.
4. Be very selective of the music and news information that you listen to. GARBAGE IN = GARBAGE OUT!
5. Take time to help other people. Perform some community service; help a neighbor in need. When we do some service for others, it gets us out of our own misery. It also demonstrates to us that we can have a positive impact on our world.
6. Get in touch with your spiritual source. “It is faith that breathes life into hope. It is hope that fuels a positive live giving attitude.” -K. Eubanks
7. Don’t stop; never give up. Even when we have a positive attitude, we still have days when we don’t feel quite so positive. On these days, we may need to take some extra time to review the previous six tips and remember to not give in to the negativity around us.
