Being Positive



By Jacqueline Pigdon


Studies show that positive people are winners in good times and survivors in hard times. People who begin to consciously modify their inner conversations and attitudes report an almost immediate improvement in their performance. Their energy increases and things seem to just go better. How would you like things to be better for you? A simple choice you can make every morning is either a positive one such as ‘I am going to have a fantastic day today and be the best possible person that I can be in all aspects of my life’ and choose to be in this state or ‘allow negativity to set in and be doom and gloom’. It’s your choice.However easier said than done? Yes it is. So where does this positive attitude come from?It comes from your inner belief and knowing based on realistic and achievable goals. Your belief and knowing comes from planning and planning comes from your vision and goal setting. Having realistic, achievable and measurable goals teamed with an inner belief that you ‘know’ you can achieve it - a positive attitude just comes and – you can do anything.

So how do you get this attitude?

  • Listen to your self-talk and choose your attitude
  • Work out what your realistic and achievable goals are and make plan
  • Believe in yourself and your abilities
  • Act with confidence!
  • Contain your reactions
  • Appreciate what you have, if you’re not happy with what you see, do something about it, change and take action!
  • Surround yourself with positive people!

If you do this after a while you will start to gain much more value in your life by being positive that you won’t want to have anything to do with negativity again!
