5 Ways to Develop a Positive Mental Attitude

A positive mental attitude is one of the most important assets you can posses. Not only do positive thoughts help to dissolve your stress but they also have a positive impact on your physical health as well. The importance of this state of mind can not be overlooked in how it affects our performance both socially and professionally. In fact your attitude is directly related to the degree of success you may experience in just about any endeavor. With all that said how can we can develop and maintain the proper mindset needed to perform at our best and enjoy optimal health as well?

Here are 5 behavioral habits you can practice and adapt to your lifestyle to help create the positive change you are looking for.

Create a Positive Environment

Become more aware of the way you think because this is what forms the foundation of your attitude. If you 'condition' yourself to always think in terms of positive thoughts your outward mood will reflect this. Do not wait for something good to happen to create this positive change for you but rather create the change by altering the way you think.


Do Not Give Up

Be realistic and understand that events or occurrences will NOT always go the way you expect or desire. One thing certain about life is it will present you set backs but it is up to you as to how you choose to deal with them. If you view these set backs as lessons to be learned you are more likely to reach your goal as opposed to giving up and walking away.

By quitting you now feel defeated and disappointed but by sticking to it success will be that much more gratifying. Count on set backs and plan on working through them when they occur!

Just Laugh

Find humor in whatever you can since laughter automatically puts a smile on your face and makes you feel good inside. There is no better way to break the tension or snap out of a 'funk' than by laughing.

Live in the Moment

Capture and relish the good and the beauty of every moment as it occurs and do not spoil it by worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. Yesterday is now the past and tomorrow has yet to occur so appreciate what it is you got in the present!


Expect Good Things

Learn to expect the best out of every situation with the understanding that you deserve good things. When you are thinking along these lines your mood is more upbeat as is your disposition. You are now more attractive to others due to the feelings you radiate. When you combine your positive outlook with that of others who think or feel the same way it dramatically increases your well-being and also your chances of success.

A positive mental attitude can give you the leverage you need to create and live a happy and rewarding life. Being able to avoid a continual build up of stress by maintaining positive thoughts helps improve our personal performance and also enjoy better health. It is not however always easy to put on the 'happy face.' Sometimes it is necessary to consciously take certain measures that will have a positive impact on your attitude. The 5 behavioral habits reviewed above, if practiced, can give you the positive change you need to produce and maintain a happy and productive mindset.

In the first article in this series on how to use the Law of Attraction, we discussed the importance of feeling good in relation to your ability to manifest. We discussed specific, practical tools you can utilize to experience more joy on a consistent basis. Now that you are feeling good, let’s go to step 2 in the manifestation process.

Step 2: Set Forth Your INTENTION.

To successfully use the Law of Attraction you must get clear on what you want. We live in an existence where we truly can have anything we want. Your main ‘job’ is to decide what you want and focus on it! Consider that over 90% of manifestation occurs in the declaration. So decide what you want and ask for it.
In the first step we discussed creating a list of the 10 things you are grateful for. Now, add the top 10 intentions you have in your life. These intentions can include things like:

• the state of being you desire (I intend to feel good, to live in a state of unconditional love, to be happy, to laugh and smile all day long, to be unattached, to have eternal patience, to have fun)



• the health you desire (I intend perfect health and my ideal body, to wake up with great energy, to lose 10 pounds within 30 days)



• the mindset you want (I intend to think empowering thoughts all the time, to be in the moment, to be present)



• the spiritual desires you have (I intend to be completely connected to my creator or the universe, to be conscious all day)



• the material things you desire (I intend to attract $20,000 in the next 30 days, a black Mercedes convertible, my dream home with an ocean view in southern California within 12 months, $100,000 cash in the bank by the end of this year)



• the relationships you want (I intend to find an amazing, passionate, intimate relationship, to create a close bond with my children, a strong connection with my parents)

You can also set intentions you have for other people. For example, every single day I write down that: “I intend great health and safety for all my loved ones today.”

Your intentions can be things you want to manifest today, this week, this month, this year or within several years. There is no wrong way to create your intentions just make them specific and clear.

Another piece of advice is when you ask for what you want… ask like you expect to get it! Each morning write your gratitude and intention list and passionately read them out loud. Put energy and feeling into what you are grateful for and also what you want. It feels good to do this plus when you understand the Law of Attraction you know the universe is made up of energy and will respond to the energy (the vibration) that you emanate. Let me point out here that deciding what you want can be hard. The first time you try to list out 10 things you want may be a little tough.

It is common for people to say they desire happiness and that is a noble intention for all. But what do people really want when they say they want happiness? I believe what we really want is: energy, experiences and excitement.

Think about it… when you are feeling energized you are feeling good and when you are feeling good, you are happy! When you are really experiencing life, you are happy. To me, a great life is a life of great experiences. We also want excitement… excitement increases our energy.

So if it is hard for you to answer the question “What do I want?”, then try these questions instead:

What experiences do I want?
What will excite and energize me and lead to happiness?
What will be good for me and for the greater good of others?

The last item to look at here is the subject of worthiness. To successfully use the Law of Attraction, it is critical you feel worthy. If you do not feel worthy of that which you desire, you will not attract it into your existence. Your energy must be vibrating in line with what you want. This is why feeling good comes before setting the intention. You must intend a state of being in which you feel good which will automatically raise your vibration (your energy). When you are energized, you will draw your goals and desire towards you like a magnet. When you are vibrating at a high level, you are connected to source energy / God / the universe. And when you are connected you become a channel to allow your thoughts (intentions) to manifest! You and your intention become one in the same.

So have fun creating your intentions and in the next article on How to Use the Law of Attraction we will look at how taking inspired action will speed up the manifestation process.
