It Pays to Have a Good Attitude.
|
If negative thoughts invade your mind, banish them.
Replace them with positive thoughts and feelings about yourself and keep on telling yourself that you are good and worthy.
This good attitude seems to give us the added strength to fight off illnesses more easily.
Some people do not know it but even the slightest negative thoughts have a greater impact on you and last longer than powerful positive thoughts.
Researchers now know that the mental attitude one has plays a definite role in the body's immune system and its ability to fight off illnesses.
A positive attitude won't cure you of all illnesses and it can't take the place of your doctor, but it can help you get better.
There are times when things are lousy, no doubt about it. This happens to everybody. Be optimistic along with being positive about yourself.
Don't blame yourself for things that go wrong, and don't blame others either. Check into what you can do differently and work towards improving things for yourself and others.
In everything you attempt, always be the best you can be. And remember if a job is worth doing, it's worth your best effort. Put time and attention into the small jobs as well as the bigger ones.
You can reflect on some of your happy and successful experiences. Remember some of the actions you took, what you said to yourself and why things turned out as they did.
And without boasting, take those past achievements as a legitimate part of your identity. Let others know about your accomplishments too, and encourage them to undertake difficult tasks as well.
When you are worried about how something will turn out, ask yourself what is the worst that could possibly happen.
Very few things are really life and earth matters and we all tend to over-react when it comes to worrying. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
People who feel sorry for themselves have a tired and worn out look, walking as if they have the world on their shoulders, rarely smiling or laughing.
On the other hand, people who feel good about themselves seem to walk tall and stand straight, looking alive and alert.
They're attractive and nice to be around and everybody wants to get to know them.
Treat your life as a learning experience. None of us are born knowing all that we need to know, and none of us ever knows enough.
We can all benefit from looking at each experience as an opportunity to learn and to become wiser.
Your attitude plays a big part in how you feel about your body. You do what you can to look your best, but you should also try to accept yourself as you are.
Feeling sorry for yourself because you think you're not good looking will only make you unhappy. The feelings you have about yourself affects how much pleasure and satisfaction you will get out of life.
People who have a good attitude look forward to new challenges and new experiences along with meeting new people.
How to Boost Your Moods.
Do you wake up in the morning and dread facing the day ahead? Are you tired of housework? Did the boss put on too much pressure? Do you have too many personal problems?
With the fast pace of today's world it doesn't take much to put us in a bad frame of mind. But a bad mood can be overcome if we try. Here are some suggestions:
- Go out into the fresh air or by an open window and breathe in and out slowly. Repeat several times.
- Clench fists and arms tightly and hold a few seconds, then relax. Repeat same procedure with shoulders, legs and feet.
- Relax on a chair or sofa. Visualize a relaxing stream of water or mountain of trees... anything tranquil.
You can actually lower your blood pressure by 10 points or more within two or three minutes using this procedure.
- Take a short walk, possibly in an area you are not familiar with.
- Spend some time with your favorite hobby and forget everything else.
- Listen to your favorite music.
Dark rooms can also have an effect on your frame of mind. Turn on lights and music if available. Open windows and doors.
- Avoid getting in a bad mood by never expecting too much. Nothing is perfect. Go about your daily routines and just do the best you can. That's all anyone can do.
- Call friends on the phone. Visit your favorite club. Do something for your church so that you can be with people you do not see daily. Do something different
