The Powers of a Positive Attitude
I am going to ask you to something very
weird right now. First of all, I want you to
listen to your thoughts. Now tell me, what
thoughts fill your head?
Would you label them as positive, or negative?
Now let's say you are walking down the
street with these thoughts. Do you think
anyone who would meet you would be
able to tell you what's on your mind?
The answer is up to you.
But, the answer can be pretty generic.
Although people will not be able to tell
you exactly what you think, they will more
or less have an idea of how you are feeling.
Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your
general attitude. The attitude you carry
reflects on your appearance too.
Ad it doesn't end there. Your attitude can
also affect people around you.
The type of attitude you carry depends on you.
It can be either positive or negative.
Positive thoughts have a filling effect. They
are admittedly invigorating. Plus, the people
around the person carrying positive thoughts
are usually energized by this type of attitude.
Don’t believe me? Just try it out yourself
and see how people will treat you.
Negative thoughts on the other hand have a
sapping effect on other people. Aside from
making you look gloomy and sad, negative
thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a
funeral wake.
A positive attitude attracts people, while a
negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy
away from those who carry a negative attitude.
Again ... try it out for yourself if you don't
believe me.
We can also define attitude as the way of
looking at the world. If you choose to focus
on the negative things in the world, more or less
you have a negative attitude brewing up. However,
if you choose to focus on the positive things,
you are more likely carry a positive attitude.
You have much to gain from a very positive
attitude. For one, studies have shown that a
positive attitude promotes better health. Those
with this kind of attitude also have more friends
projecting a positive attitude also helps one
to handle stress and problems better than those
who have a negative attitude.
If you will love the way you are and are
satisfied, confident, and self-assured, you also
make others are around feel the same way.
A negative attitude, on the other hand, has,
of course, an opposite effect. So, carrying a
negative attitude has a twofold drawback. You
feel bad about yourself, and you make others
feel the same way.
If you want to have a positive attitude, you
have to feature healthy thoughts. This is probably
very hard to do nowadays since, all around us,
the media feeds us nothing but negative thoughts.
A study shows that for every 14 things a parent
says to his or her child, only one is positive.
This is truly a saddening thought.
If you want a healthier outlook in life, you
need to think happy thoughts, and you have to
hear positive things as well.
Although it is impossible to keep ourselves
from the negative things around us, you can
still carry a positive attitude by focusing on
the good things, the positive things in life.
And this positive attitude you now carry can
be of benefit to other people. Sometimes when
other people feel down, the thing people mostly
do is try to give them advice. But sometimes,
all they need is somebody to sit by them, and
listen to them. If you have a positive attitude you
may be able to cheer them up without even
having to say anything.
If positive attitude is really great, why do people
choose to adopt a negative attitude instead?
One who carries a negative attitude may be actually
sending a signal for attention. Before you get
me wrong, feeling sad, angry, or gloomy is not
wrong itself. But dwelling on these thoughts for
far too long is not healthy either. There is a
time to mourn.
As always, if you are beset by troubles, even in
your darkest hour, focus on the good things in life,
you will always have hope. Problems become
something you can overcome.
You do not have much to lose by adopting a
healthy, positive attitude. Studies show that such
an attitude actually retards aging, makes you
healthier, helps you develop a better stress
coping mechanism, and has a very positive effect
on all the people you meet every day. So, what's
not to like about a positive attitude?
Adopt one today. Trust me, you won't regret it.
