Once you slow your mind down to a trickle, listen carefully and concisely to its chatter. What do you hear. Is it joy or anger. Do tell, reveal what your thoughts are that fills your head. Are they negative or positive ones, bad deeds or good intention.
You’re sitting there pondering or walking down the street, you’re at a social gathering, what are the thoughts racing through your mind.
Once you meet someone, anyone, realize they’re not able to read your thoughts, they have no clue what you’re thinking.
Unless they have extreme psychic abilities, they won’t have any idea what’s going through your mind, although some may pick up a vibe on how you may be feeling.
Once you enter a room that’s filled with people you know, your friends, family or colleagues, how do they react to you.
Does everyone perk up, anticipate something groundbreaking, something radiant is coming from you.
Or do they suddenly fall silent or ignore you, as you blend in and fold like a stained tea towel.
Your Thoughts In Action
All these scenarios depends on your attitude. Your thoughts are extremely powerful. They have the ability to affect your overall persona.
The same attitude you carry which reflects directly by your appearance, unless you have the ability to deceive, to fraud, or if you’re a great actor.
Your attitude, your demeanour can affect the behaviour of others around you like an invisible trance.
The type and degree of attitude you carry depends strictly on you. It can be positive or negative.
An Attitude Adjustment
What choosing positive thoughts has is a fulfilling, illuminating glow like effect. It’s admittedly invigorating.
Those around you, once you have positive thoughts, becomes energized by this type of attitude. What negative thoughts has is an energy sapping effect on everyone.
Aside from looking sad and gloomy, one negative thought can spread and turn a festive gathering into a dour virus.
What a positive attitude does, is it naturally attracts people, while a negative one subconsciously repels them.
People tend to naturally avoid, shy away from those who displays a negative brooding aura.
It All Depends On You
The definition of an attitude, is the way you view the world. If you focus on the negative things in life, more or less you’ll have a negative attitude.
If you have a positive outlook, you like your eggs sunny side up, then you’ll display a positive attitude.
Positive attitudes are extremely affectionate. For one, they promote better health, while attracting others who inherits a similar outlook on life.
A positive attitude is capable of handling stress, anxiety, and life issues a lot better than those with a negative one. Thinking positively reflects a healthy self image.
If you love who your are, and the way you act with no regrets, are completely satisfied, self assured and confident, then you’ll make others around you feel the same.
Having a negative attitude has the opposite effect. Carrying a poor demeanour has its drawbacks. You feel bad about yourself, then draw others down the same rabbit hole.
Developing A Positive Outlook
If you want a positive attitude, then you need to develop healthy thoughts. This for many is a difficult thing to do, since most things in life has a negative charge.
The media, social media, all dwell on reporting bad news and negative images, embedding negative thoughts.
For instance, for every 12 things a parent says to their child, just one of them is positive, which is a true and saddening thought.
So to transform your mind into thinking positively, watch a movie you know is funny. Go watch hilarious videos on the Internet.
Take your dog out for a walk, play a fun game with your children. Hear, read, or tell funny jokes, read heart warming stories of love found.
All of these activities will fill you with positive stimuli, which promotes a positive attitude.
Avoid Negativity As Much As Possible
Although it’s impossible to avoid negative thoughts and events around us, you can still choose to carry a positive attitude.
Choose to focus on its bright side, firmly believing the bad in any subject will soon pass. Then spread this positive vibe to benefit others.
When people are depressed, what we’ll do is try cheer them up. But often, all they need is someone to just be with them, listen to them cry.
If you have a positive attitude, just being by their side will transmit your positive vibes on them, cheering them up without you needing to say anything.
It’s Your Choice
You may be wondering, if having a positive attitude is so great, then why are there so many who has a negative one.
It’s found the biggest reason is they’re just seeking attention, or sympathy. They’re usually just wanting someone to feel sorry for them.
It’s common to feel sad, upset, or angry, and it’s natural. But continuing to dwell on these thoughts for long isn’t healthy. There’s time to mourn, but don’t allow it to fester.
If you are beset by troubles, if you’re going through a rough dark patch, force yourself to focus on all the good things in your life, then you’ll always have hope.
Believe everything can be overcome, believe everything happens for a reason, and that this to will pass, because you know it will.
Just Choose To Be Happy
It’s up to you to have a positive or a negative attitude. Having a positive one is just more work, because our brains default switch is always on negative, to keep us safe.
There’s proof choosing to have a positive attitude will delay the aging process, keeps you healthier, while helping you cope with stress better.
Just thinking positively, laughing out loud, while finding the humour in everything you encounter, will have a positive effect on you and everyone around you.
