Invest a small amount of your morning to create a mindset of resilience
and optimism as this will prepare you for the day. Tony Robbins said:
"80 percent of success is due to psychology - mindset, emotions, and
beliefs - and only 20 percent is due to mechanics." So start the day
right and keep your mind on things that bring you joy and fulfillment.
* BE SOLUTION-FOCUSED, NOT PROBLEM-CENTERED
A positive attitude doesn't mean ignoring or repressing life's anxieties
and troubles. It involves seeing things as they are, visualizing how
they might become better, and then taking action to make them so; rather
than seeing things negatively from the start, expecting things to get
worse and barely summoning the energy to prevent a disastrous outcome.
* FIND ANY IMPROVEMENT TO THE CURRENT SITUATION
Focus on success, get used to looking for improvements in the current
situation as a solution, regardless of its size. For example, half a
pound loss may seem weak when your goal is 50 pounds, but this is a step
in the right direction.
* CONJURE UP AN INNER COACH
Many of us are more confident and work better when someone encourages
us. A successful person is self-conscious and responsible to him or her
self. One way to strengthen these traits is to conjure a coach in your
mind. Remember that person that inspired you when faced with a scary
task? Ask yourself, "What would this person do if he or she is faced
with this task?" This would undoubtedly help you continue trying until
you overcome the fear or obstacle.
* GIVE YOURSELF DAILY "DONE WELLS"
Take a few moments every day to ask the question, "What have I done well
today?" This simple thought reinforces reassurance on a daily basis. In
turn, the positive feedback that you give yourself eventually helps you
to develop courage and self-confidence, which are extremely important
for success.
Being consistent with these tips will help ensure that you will have a
life filled with positive thoughts and positive outcomes.
