How to have a Positive Attitude..

How to have a Positive Attitude..

gypsy gal
By gypsy gal

• When you wake up, before you get out of bed, take a moment to settle your thoughts and get into the right frame of mind. Don’t let the worry clock stock start ticking but instead take slow, even breaths and control the pace of your day. You are in charge. Do not start to fret about the past which you cannot change. And do not become overly concerned with the future which will show itself in due time. Focus on right now, this moment, and get off to a good start.

• Realize that this day is yours to live only one time. Whatever happens good or bad, at the end of 24 hours, it is done. You cannot change what happened during that time and you cannot have it back. So live each moment and appreciate the world and people around you. Be a positive influence on those you meet. It may be through your charity that they are able to overcome personal challenges they are dealing with. Sometimes it can be as simple as a smile and a friendly “hello, how is your day?”

• Make the assumption that others you come in contact with during the day are good people. Try to stay away from being judgmental and remember that everyone wants to be liked. Sometimes our lives throw us a curve ball that causes us to temporarily become someone other than who we really are. But inside, we are all good people. And an amazing side effect of treating others as good people is they tend to act as if they ARE good.

• Smile because you are happy, because you are alive, because it is a beautiful day, or for no reason at all. With a smile on your face, things just do not seem to be that bad. It is easy to do so smile whenever you have the opportunity. And just like that jolly laugh you cannot resist joining in, a smile can be contagious and you as the spreader become instrumental in not only your own happiness but that of others as well.

• Don’t sweat the small stuff. Distractions and annoyances are plentiful but don’t let the minor things get under your skin. Ask yourself if it will matter in 100 years. Turn the other cheek. If it just doesn’t matter, don’t let it undermine your resolve or distract you from staying positive.

• Be thankful for what you have, the person you are and the people that are part of your life. Nothing is forever so take time to be thankful today.

I am thankful for what I have and appreciate those who share my life. It is a wonderful day – I am positive of it!

1 more-

A woman was sitting at a bar with her g'friends when an extremely sexy young man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes away from him. The young man noticed her overly attentive stare & walked directly toward her and said to her, 'I'll do anything that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $100, on one condition.' Flabbergasted, woman asked what the condition was. Young man replied, 'You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words.'

The woman considered his proposition for a moment, withdrew $100 bills, pressed into young man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes & slowly, meaningfully said, "Clean my house"

a negative Joke when you feel up---

A woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond rings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and gold Rolex."

"But you are not wearing any of those things," he replied.

"I know," she said. "It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he will remarry right away, and I want his new wife to go crazy looking for the jewelry."

Positive song when you feel down

I believe for every drop of rain that falls

A flower grows,

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night

A candle glows.

I believe for everyone who goes astray

Someone will come to show the way.

I believe,

Oh, I believe.

I believe above the storm

The smallest prayer, will still be heard.

I believe that someone in that great somewhere

Hears every word

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,

Or touch a leaf

Or see the sky,

Then I know why I believe.

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry,

Or touch a leaf

Or see the sky,

Then I know why I believe

Painther...because HGL is always indirectly saying it..

Thats why I said we are not KG kids to understand what a person is trying to say...I can only talk for MYSELF...:)

Otherwise... I don’t see any other reason for a person to act indifferently when I have not done any of the things he mentioned above...Once upon a time it was not like this…

How I wish I didn't know what goes behind these pink pages on pm's. Who likes to stir sh*t, who gossips and who is interested in every post that I write here and why I write what I write, where I go, what I do, where I live, what do I do to spend my time etc etc etc.... sometimes I wish I wasn't this smart, life would have been so easy...:)

Gypsy Gal Very nice post :)

I am a very positive person, I am smiling the most of the time, and I am always trying to fine that positive bit even in the absolute negative things, I don't like to show weaknesses or sadness. (Or at least I try)

But being very positive means that when you fed up, you collapse and find yourself in a damn depressing day, but the good news that you can wake up the other day positive again.

Nothing worth being sad for. :O)

By gypsy gal• 21 Aug 2013 12:28
gypsy gal

A positive person would at least think..why would he/she do that? Is she gaining anything out of it?

Do I have anything personal with her/him?

By backstabbing...defaming...gossiping behind someone’s back...nobody will get anything even mental satisfaction if he is just an acquaintance...

No …that’s not at all a positive attitude... If you are saying that I have done it ..its just your misunderstanding..and I don’t have any reason to do it with you or anyone else for that matter... But probably that is why you are always on a defensive attitude... unless you are not 100% sure ...you can always assume and be negative!!

You might now say that you didn’t tell that I did it.. but we are not KG kids not to understand simple English and what you are trying to say…

Can back biting, gossiping behind ones back, creating spurious ID's to belittle someone etc. be considered as positive attitude of an individual???

By fallenangel87• 21 Aug 2013 11:45

Be optimistic.Even heaven has a rainy day

Remember "past is past".Theres nothing you can do to change what has happened but you have a present that rely on your work and a future which depends on your present acts.

make sure to stop getting tensed.don't override your problems to cause you depression

Apologize if you have made a mistake.a simple apology wont change anything in you.

If you cant smile at someone at least don't make faces to make yourself look bad.

Be confident in what you do. Your the best teacher to judge where you stand.

And most important Thank God for what you are? always remember where you come from and what is the purpose of being here.

surely things will work out

Recently I have found great peace and happiness in penning my thoughts down on paper.

It relieves the stress out and keeps me in a positive mode.

As far as controlling/hiding emotions goes, pff I’m the worst lol

I get tensed /upset for the smallest reasons and can’t hide it from others cuz I have a face that shows everything

I think the first step towards being positive person is to acknowledge we are all humans and we are prone to error and do wrong.

Life is a B**ch, and definitely not a bed of roses.

Its up’s and downs, and even the happiest person out there is not happy/positive every minute of the day.

As I human being who has read on dynamics of the brain and its psychology, I’m pretty much comfortable in having a dark moment and feeling weak, vulnerable or sad.

Because life is all about experiences and that includes some negativity as well.
