p21 Days to A Positive-Attitude Habitp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"This may come as a surprise... but your attitude is more font font face="Arial"important than your aptitude in determining your successfont
font face="Arial"in life!fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"Just how critical is attitude to achievement? Well, take a font font face="Arial"look at one of the greatest inventors of the last two font font face="Arial"hundred years - Thomas Edison. Every time you turn on a font font face="Arial"light switch, you experience the result of his persistence font font face="Arial"in the face of continuous failure.fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"Edison tried 10,000 times to get his light bulb invention to font font face="Arial"work, but failed each time. However, he had this to say font font face="Arial"about his lack of success. "I have not failed. I've just font font face="Arial"found 10,000 ways that won't work."fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"You can learn to have this kind of outlook on life, but it font font face="Arial"needs to be purposefully installed into your daily living.fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"You probably know it takes about 21 days to eak a habitfont
font face="Arial"by replacing it with a new one. If you are plagued with font font face="Arial"persistent negative thoughts toward life, you can replace font font face="Arial"this mindset with a new positive-attitude habit!fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"Here is a 21-day five-step program to change a negative font font face="Arial"attitude to a positive one.fontp


p class="justify"strongfont face="Arial"1. Take charge of what you're thinking.
fontstrongfont face="Arial"This is a moment-by-moment decision that doesn't happen font font face="Arial"overnight. It's a habit that will take some time to build. font
font face="Arial"How can you do this? Choose to think uplifting thoughts font font face="Arial"instead of discouraging ones.
fontfont face="Arial"You get to decide what you think, which in turn determines font font face="Arial"how you feel. Become aware of this and dwell on positive font font face="Arial"ideas throughout the day.
fontfont face="Arial"At first you may have to force yourself to find something font font face="Arial"positive. Consider keeping a journal and write down at least font font face="Arial"one good thing in your life each day for three weeks. Then font font face="Arial"think about these blessings instead of discouraging font font face="Arial"thoughts.fontp


p class="justify"strongfont face="Arial"2. Read inspirational material.
fontstrongfont face="Arial"During this 21-day training period, fill your mind with good font
font face="Arial"thoughts. The best book of all to read is that priceless font
font face="Arial"diamond of world literature - the Bible. You'll never know font font face="Arial"what wonderful results from reading it are around the corner font
font face="Arial"until you open its covers! ** ="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"font size="3" ="font-family: comic sans ms;"Of course, there are many religiousinspirational books as well as the biblefontfontimg src="Forumsricheditsmileys12.gif" border="0" ="color: rgb(160, 64, 255);"font size="3" ="font-family: comic sans ms;"Teachings of Buddah and Baghavad Gita to name 2. Oh and heaps more!!!!!fontfont face="Arial" ="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"font size="3" ="font-family: comic sans ms;"font
fontp


p class="justify"strongfont face="Arial"3. Focus on others.
fontstrongfont face="Arial"For the next 21 days make an extra effort to help other font font face="Arial"people. Concentrating on assisting others will help you more font font face="Arial"than you realize. If you succeed in becoming wealthy font font face="Arial"but are poor in respect to your relationships, you will not font font face="Arial"be truly prosperous at all!fontfont face="Arial"So make a special effort of focusing on others during your font font face="Arial"21 days of building your new positive-attitude habit. This font font face="Arial"will free you up to allow the butterfly of happiness to land font font face="Arial"on your shoulder when you least expect it.fontp


p class="justify"strongfont face="Arial"4. Take care of your health needs.
fontstrongfont face="Arial"It's hard to maintain a positive mindset if you've neglected font font face="Arial"your physical needs. So during the 21 days of your attitude font font face="Arial"retraining make an extra effort to eat nutritious balanced font font face="Arial"meals. fontfont face="Arial"Not getting enough sleep will also be a tremendous font font face="Arial"hindrance, so make sure you're getting adequate rest. And font font face="Arial"don't forget to get enough exercise. When you feel down, try font font face="Arial"to take a isk 30-minute walk. You'll feel revived!fontp


p class="justify"strongfont face="Arial"5. Learn contentment.
fontstrongfont face="Arial"For the next 21 days focus on what you have and not on what font font face="Arial"you don't have. Live in the present and enjoy your font font face="Arial"blessings.
fontfont face="Arial"Try to forget acquiring stuff for the purpose of keeping up font font face="Arial"with others. That only leads to more anxiety. Be thankful font font face="Arial"for what you do have instead.fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"When going through difficult experiences - remember that font font face="Arial"adversity can be a blessing in disguise. You might learn font font face="Arial"some important lessons during those tough times - like font font face="Arial"Thomas Edison did. (I know I have.)fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"These lessons can turn into credentials that will enable you to help font font face="Arial"others when they're going through tough times.fontfont face="Arial"So don't let negativity ruin your present and future. font font face="Arial"Instead, build a new habit of having a positive attitude. It font font face="Arial"will take about 21 days to start seeing consistent changes font font face="Arial"in the way you think, but it will be worth it!fontp


p class="justify"font face="Arial"Now choose the starting date for your attitude-renewal font font face="Arial"adventure and go for it! fontfont face="Arial"How about today?fontp
