Attitude: how your mindset is reflected and manifested in your personality and what you physically do
- Attitudes can be positive, negative, and uncertain
Your attitude determines how you react with the world. It’s external.
- Ruled by your conscious mind and is the 5% that your 95% mindset sets in motion
- Determined by watching actions
- Attitudes can be “faked” or “feigned”
First, get clear about your attitudes
- Stop comparing yourself out loud or showing evidence of it outright
- Recognize you and everyone else is unique and different…and should be!
- Develop your own set of standards of what good character is so you aren’t using someone else’s measuring stick
- But also, surround yourself with people with positive attitudes
- Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, financially, sexually…
- Internal dialogue becomes external behavior
- If you don’t feel cared for, it’s hard to care for others in the world
- You can’t pour from an empty cup
- Find what fulfills you and do it regularly…not when you’ve run out of steam and are in crisis
- Build up your self-confidence and look like it
- Tell yourself how amazing you are for what you’ve already accomplished (write yourself love notes, don’t take opportunities to belittle yourself, etc.)
- Keep yourself motivated so you can keep going when it’s hard to accomplish difficult tasks (ask yourself for help when you need it, be unwilling to let yourself down)
- Believe in yourself
- Laugh…often
- If you spend time laughing, you won’t spend time frowning
- Permit yourself to be loved
- Stop sabotaging your relationships because you’ve told yourself you’re unworthy
- Open yourself to the possibility of it…everywhere
- Act like a person who is loved instead of the person who has been wounded
