Hi all, I'm on Day 8 of abs/sugar free/carb free, going for my 30 after a month or so of mods but wanted some extra incentives on "changing my habit", so I found a time limit...
Only 21 days to start and I'm going the extra 9 to solidify it!:lol It's a fun read..
Create A Positive Attitude Habit in 21 Days
By Patricia Wagner
Would you be surprised if I told you that attitude is more important that aptitude when it comes to success?
Thomas Edison was a great example showing the importance of attitude. He invented the light bulb due to tremendous persistence in spite of continual failure.
You see, he tried 10,000 times to get his light bulb invention to work, but failed each time. He wasn't discouraged though. After all, he had discovered 10,000 ways that his light bulb idea wouldn't work. And that's how he looked at his setbacks.
This type of attitude toward life can actually be learned. But it has to be installed into our lives purposefully.
It's been said that it takes about 21 days to create a habit. So if you want to learn the art of perseverance, you'll need to develop a positive attitude mind-set.
Here's my own personal 21-day program to help turn a negative attitude into a positive one. Why not try it and see what happens.
1. Take charge of your thought life.
Plan to make a new habit of dwelling on encouraging thoughts instead of discouraging ones.
Emotions tag behind thoughts, so if you want to feel better -- think better. For example, if you keep thinking worried thoughts, soon you'll feel anxious and stressed. Of course, this leads to all kinds of physical problems too.
2. Read material that will inspire and not depress you.
For the next 21 days choose reading material that will plant positive thoughts into your mind. Of course, the best book of all to read is the world's greatest gem of literature -- the Bible.
Reading it has changed countless lives! Why not become a candidate for experiencing miraculous transformation by reading the Bible?
3. Concentrate on helping others rather than focusing on yourself.
For the next three weeks try to see in what new ways you can help other people. By seeking to bless others you may discover the key to opening golden opportunities of fulfillment for yourself.
4. Don't forget to take care of your physical health.
It's hard to escape a negative mind-set when you're not getting enough sleep and when you're not getting proper nutrition. Exercise too is crucial. When feeling down, try taking a brisk walk.
5. Learn the secret of contentment.
I challenge you for the next 21 days to focus on what you do have and not what you don't have. Enjoy your blessings instead of wishing you had what someone else has. Don't forget to be thankful.
Don't forget that adversity can be a friend in disguise. Through it you may learn life-changing lessons that you can share with others when they go through their tough times.
Having a negative attitude toward life can and will harm you. Instead why not follow the five-step plan I've outlined for you in this article and learn to create a positive attitude habit.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
