Positive Attitude is Every Thing

Let me use an example to explain.

Say your bathroom was dirty and needed to cleaned. What thoughts enter your mind when you think about cleaning the bathroom. Do you think things like, 'ugh', 'gross', or, 'I have better things I could be doing'? Or do you think things like, 'I don't mind cleaning the bathroom', 'I love the end result of having a clean bathroom', 'I enjoy the lemon scents of the cleaners', or, 'this will be an opportunity to do a little bit of physical activity'?

The first set of responses is an example of a negative attitude. The second set of responses is an example of a positive attitude.

Most of us have thoughts or judgments about everything in our lives. The easiest way to tell if your thoughts are positive or negative about something is to ask yourself how you feel about it. Your thoughts lead to your feelings. And the easiest way to find out what thoughts are behind how you feel is to ask yourself why you feel that way.

Think about an upcoming event in your life, even if it's something simple like getting together with friends. How do you feel about that upcoming event? If you are feeling positive emotions like excitement, or hope, then you know you have positive thoughts about it. Positive thoughts mean you have a positive attitude about it.

On the other hand, if you are feeling scared or worried, then you know that you are having negative thoughts about that event and that your attitude toward it is negative.

These are some examples of how you can have a positive or negative attitude about specific things or events in your life, but what is a positive attitude in more general terms?

The average person has about 55,000 thoughts per day, which means that you potentially have around 55,000 positive or negative thoughts each day. If more of those thoughts are positive than negative, you could say that in general, you have a more positive than negative attitude.

Positive Attitude is Every Thing
Your Attitude Is Everything,

Positive Attitude Is Everything

Reduce Stress by Eliminating Negative Self-Talk

Positive Thinking: Reduce Stress by Eliminating Negative Self-Talk

Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you're optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health.
Indeed, some studies show that personality traits like optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that typically comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills. Here's how.

Understanding positive thinking and self-talk

Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations. Positive thinking just means that you approach the unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.

Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head every day. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you're likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.
