Attitude

Attitude is the one thing all human beings have complete control of and yet many unknowingly choose a negative attitude.  If we understood the power of our own attitude in our lives, most of us would change it immediately.  How many times have you been told to change your attitude?  That is a common order from most parents and teachers! I’ve heard on more than one occasion the statement, “You need an Attitude Adjustment!”

Attitude is created by your thoughts, feelings and actions and the perspective you take on how to interpret the world.  You can choose the perspective you will take by choosing to focus on thoughts that are negative or positive. You have probably heard the principle, Garbage In, Garbage Out.  You can choose what information you will take in to your mind in the form of music, TV programs, movies and what social media you choose to pay attention to.  Bringing negativity into your mind likely contribute to a negative perspective and a negative attitude.  Bringing positive, uplifting ideas into your mind contributes to a positive perspective and more uplifting attitude.  You get to choose what to pay attention to.   I often share with my clients, “Pay attention to what you pay attention to, because that is what you will get more of in your life.”  I will choose to pay attention to positive, uplifting ideas with the intention to creating a more positive and uplifting attitude in my life.  I can also create more positive thoughts in my mind by choosing an Attitude of Gratitude and thinking to myself about the little things in my life everyday that I am thankful for.

Through our thoughts, we create an attitude.  This attitude is expressed based on how we internalize ideas.  Our mind and body move into a new vibration of conscious awareness known as feelings.  These feelings are then displayed through actions and behaviors that produce the results in our lives.

Attitude [Thoughts + Feelings + Actions] = Results

Imagine feeding our minds with positive thoughts and flow through the process.  We will end with positive results.  Now imagine feeding our minds with negative thoughts and flow through the process.  Makes sense, doesn’t it?

By changing our thoughts, we can change our attitude, which will ultimately change our results.  Attitude is the creative cycle that allows us to feel a certain way and then take the necessary action to a specific result.

Start with the end in mind and make the decision that today is the day to change your attitude!
