What is attitude

When you ask many people what attitude is the usually say: your mindset or personality. The dictionary says it's a manner, feeling, disposition, or position.

Your attitude is actually your thoughts. That's it. A simple thought is the start of your attitude, in fact it's a series (or string) of thoughts put together consistantly and that is what creates your attitude. This is important to understand because depending on whether your thoughts are positive or negative will determin what type of attitude you have.

Attitudes are not permanent. This is good news if you have a negative one. All you have to do is change your thoughts and then you will change your attitude.

Take some time throughout your day to pay attention to how you feel and the thoughts behind them. Notice your reaction to co-workers, bosses, grocery store attendants and family. Then think about the thought behind your reaction. If it is negative counter it with a positive thought. This is a key part of the process. Without a counter you have no chance of beating a bad attitude.

Everyone needs to counter the negative thoughts.

Have a great day and enjoy.
