What is Attitude?

Generally, People have a wrong convention about attitude!!!

1- Attitude is how you think and whether you lean towards optimistic or pessimistic.

2- Attitude is a mental position relative to a way of thinking or being. The current popular usage of attitude implies a negative mind set.

3- Attitude comes from judgments. It develops on the ABC model i.e. Affect, Behavioral change and Cognition.

4- Most attitudes on individual are a result of observational learning from their environment.

Importance of Attitude in our Life

The positive attitude is necessary for success. One who trusts his or her own abilities to self manage (“I can do this”) will be more diligent in self management than one who does not.

Choosing our Attitude

Have we realized that our attitude is our choice and that we alone can decide how to deal with events in our lives??? Have we chosen our attitude???The answer to this question will determine how we position our self in life, to face the challenges ahead of us.

1- We must take responsibility for our attitudes as well as actions. This will give us strength and control during time of change. Prior to a change, most people are comfortable because the situation is familiar. But when situation changes, we may experience feelings of fear, anger, sadness, resistance, as well as relief, hope or excitement. What we do with these feelings is what makes a difference.

2- When we are able to find something positive or see possibilities, we will have energy and motivation. It is paramount that if we learn to manage our attitude, we will not feel paralyzed and potential benefits will follow.
–We will be able to secure assistance with a positive attitude.
–Our self-esteem and productivity will increase.
–We can and must be a role model for others.
–We will have more energy to pursue our goals and dreams.

3- We must act to create our own future. A positive attitude will help us create our future instead of being held back by allowing negative feelings to affect our attitude and behavior. Choosing or exhibiting the right attitude is critical.

How do we create a Positive Attitude?

We must monitor and correct our attitudes. One of the most difficult yet important tasks is to monitor and correct deterioration in our attitude.

1- We must engage ourselves in positive self talk.
2- We must stop our self when we realize we are talking negatively.
3- We must attempt to replace negative messages with positive messages.
4- We should also surround ourselves with positive people.

“Attitudes are like Magnets”

To conclude, I must say that it will take and does require hard work to succeed, but we will find it can be accomplished more effectively with a positive attitude. Our positive attitude will be valued and appreciated by those around us. Remember when changes come our way and it will, we can and must remain in control by of course, controlling our attitude and responding positively to that change.
