It would be fair to say that we are all experiencing all sorts of new situations, procedures, problems, opportunities, and difficulties to deal with and overcome. That is especially true with new school situations, different work arrangements, and many other changes we seem to be facing daily.
We all know people that are positive about everything, and on the flip side, we know people that are negative about everything. I don’t know about you, but I prefer and gravitate towards positive people. I try to avoid the negative folks, and you may as well.
As we work to adapt to these new realities, it is important to have a positive attitude, so a few reminders might just be in order. According to Life Skills Arise Curriculum, here are a few reminders about attitudes.
A positive attitude:
- Helps you achieve your goals and be successful.
- Enables you to complete tasks faster and with less stress.
- Helps you experience more happiness.
- Gives you more energy.
- Gives you greater inner power and strength.
- Gives you the ability to inspire and motivate yourself and others.
- Makes it seem like there are fewer difficulties along the way.
- Makes it seem like life is smiling at you.
- Makes people respect you.
A negative attitude:
- Blocks your goals and success.
- Drags tasks out and stresses you the entire time you are working.
- Means you will experience more sadness and anger.
- Drains your energy.
- Will give you a headache and make you sick.
- Can cause you to be grumpy with others and ruin their day.
- Makes it seem like there are more difficulties along the way.
- Makes it seem like life is against you.
- Makes people want to avoid you.
There are many tools we can use to help us through these difficult times. I want to challenge you to use a positive attitude as one of those tools. It is free, you already have it within you, and it is the first step in making challenging situations much easier and manageable.
