HOW TO START HAVING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

STOP COMPLAINING

Any time you spend complaining is time you could spend solving

the problem. Dust yourself and get back up. Which brings us to.

HAVE A GET-BACK-UP ATTITUDE

As Rocky once said, “it ain’t about how hard you’re hit, it is

about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”.

HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR

If you can’t laugh at yourself you’ve already lost. Even the

worst situations can have a humorous side.

FIND POSITIVE PEOPLE

Negativity tends to be contagious so if you spend your whole day

hanging out with Debbie Downer you might start feeling a bit

down yourself. Avoid this! Find positive people because a

positive attitude is also contagious.

ENCOURAGE OTHERS

The reverse of the last point is also true. By encouraging others

around you to be positive you are not only focusing on

positive things but you are also making your environment

more positive.

LIVE IN THE NOW

Don’t let your mind drift too much into the past or the future. 

This can easily lead to a cycle of negative thoughts about

things that will probably never even happen and you will

feel bad for no reason.

DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF

In the era of facebook, twitter, instagram this is a toughy, but

remember, everyone has bad days, even your most photogenic friends.

REDEFINE FAILURE

As Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just

found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
