A Positive Attitude Changes Everything

Today's Affirmation: I am happy and I share my joy with others.

A positive attitude is an important key to the success of your goals and dreams.

You can overcome any obstacle when you have the right attitude. One simple word for it... happiness!

"Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it." ~John Templeton~

Start every day with a smile and a bright outlook on life.

Don't let anything or anyone discourage you from achieving what you have chosen to accomplish, and don't let fear or anger get in the way. Take on new challenges with the attitude that you gladly can and will do it.

You must be willing to step out of your comfort zone in order to achieve your goals. This can be a scary thing to do. However, if you look at the positive side of every situation and realize that you can overcome fear and anger with a positive attitude... it will be less difficult.

Look fear in the face and fear disappears.

It is not always easy to be happy all of the time, it takes practice.

Start with a smile when you are challenged by something that makes you uncomfortable. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone and TRAIN YOUR BRAIN to think of ways to overcome obstacles in an uplifting, positive light.

Get on your happy feet!

Smile a lot. Bring good fortune and success to you by enjoying happiness every moment of every day.

Let's say you don't get along very well with your boss or a co-worker, or you had an argument with your spouse the night before. Try this today... walk in with a cup of coffee, the newspaper, a soft drink, something you know this person likes. Approach them with a big smile on your face and say, "Good morning, how are you today?"

Put the item you brought in down on their desk or table and walk away.

If that person challenges your happy attitude, remember this...

it is important that you don't hold on to negative feelings;

if you take on life with a positive attitude you will be a much happier and successful person in your life;

and learn to let go.

Start off on a new foot and a new day. Do whatever you need to do to rectify the situation and move forward with a positive attitude.

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN to immediately turn your focus on something positive when something negative begins, or when someone negative tries to beat you down.

In order to reach your full potential and achieve your dreams you will have to do things that you don't want to do, things you fear, make you nervous or challenge you. Take action and look forward with great pleasure on these opportunities that will get you closer to accomplishing your goals.

GO FOR YOUR DREAM... don't let your fear and anger stand in the way of your personal growth.

Get happy! Learn to laugh! Bring good things into your life.

Every day I am challenged to maintain a happy attitude. My husband, my children, my work, the dogs, the daily upkeep of my home, etc., all challenge me in different ways to maintain a positive attitude throughout the day.

I learn to ignore situations that are negative. I choose to live with a positive attitude... achieving my goal to maintain happiness at all times.

I refuse to be unhappy!

Negative things, people, whatever unpleasant situation may arise... I practice bringing great things into my life by maintaining a happy attitude and dealing with every day situations positively.

I let the most unimportant things roll off my shoulders.

Life is too short to waste such precious and wonderful moments of the day being miserable.

You can achieve anything you want when you have the right attitude every day of your life! Enjoy a happy, positive attitude and bring great success into your life.

A positive attitude... it changes everything.

Here's to your success, and...

To your dream,

Kimberly

Being Positive Can Make You Happy

Did you know 99.9% of people that are happy on a regular basis are very positive people? Also, did you know that 99.9% of unhappy people have very negative personalities? It's true, having positive personality traits can make chemicals in the brain that make you happier.Endorphins in the brain react to each positive gesture and turn it into a happy feeling. Yes, your brain knows the difference between positive and negative. It also knows that positive energy needs happy feelings and negative energy needs angry feelings. They go hand and hand. Just like endorphins in the brain make a drug addict happier when they get their fix. It is the same endorphins that react to your positive attitude and give you a natural high. Happy is an emotion that your brain gets addicted to if you are positive all the time. The more you brain gets endorphins to make it happy, the more it will need that feeling. Therefor giving you happy personality traits.

When was the last time you saw a sport star that got happy when he was beat on the field by another player? Probably never.... When he got outdone on the field, you may notice them become angry about it. He may feel like he isn't as good as the other player and that is a negative thought. Now he has talked his brain into believing he isn't as good. This can all happen in a split second subliminal thought. Right away, the endorphins in his brain from being negative made him angry or upset. The player that beat him probably got a happy feeling or started smiling about it. Not because he made a good play, but because his brain received positive endorphins that made him happy. Those positive endorphins will guide him to believe he is better than that other player now. He may not get those endorphins through the rest of his sports career. But like a drug, he will get high off of positive energy long enough to finish the game. Most players have great games when these endorphins kick into the brain. Positive energy is a very powerful weapon.

Being positive as much as you can will actually expand your happy personality traits. Your brain will get addicted to the feeling of happiness because it is always being sent positive endorphins that cause you to be happy. The more positive chemicals that are sent to the brain, the more endorphins are being reached, and the more your brain needs to feel that way. Your brain is capable of being more addicted to happiness than heroin. Natural endorphins can over power any drug. Your brain is a very powerful tool.

That's why if you are negative all the time, your brain will receive endorphins that will make you unhappy or grouchy all the time. You brain gets addicted to whatever endorphins are sent to it on a regular basis. That's why people that are angry and grouchy seem to be like that all the time. They have actually caused their brain to be addicted to feeling grouchy and angry all the time.

There have been studies that show your brain only needs what you give it. If you are always feeding your brain positive thoughts, it will reward you with the feeling of happiness. Your brain will never crave endorphins from negative thoughts if you don't show it how it feels to be negative. If your brain doesn't crave negativity, you are less likely to feel unhappy in situations you should be happy about.

Ever notice how negative or crabby people don't get happy, even when they should be? They are not trying to play it cool. Their brain is just used to being that way. They could win the lottery and seem like they don't get happy. If they do react in happiness, they won't get as happy about winning the lottery if their brain received that positive feeling a little more. It is normal to feel emotions. But when your brain gets an overload of one emotion it can be dangerous. Negative energy can throw all your other emotions off track. Your brain will actually get confused if it is not used to a certain emotion. Just like when people go into shock when they receive terrible news. Their brain wasn't used to it. Their brain got confused because it wasn't used to receiving the endorphins that created that feeling.

Negative personalities are catchy too. Be careful who you hang out with or listen too. It takes 100 positives to overcome one negative thought. So if you listen to a person full of negativity all day, they could bring you to a feeling of negativity until you get back into your groove. Angry people stay angry for a reason. The negativity has got a hold of them and now their brain is addicted to the feeling of negativity and grouchiness.

You know the story the little engine that could. Everyone had a negative energy about getting up the hill. Except the little engine that could. He told him self over and over that he could do it. I think I can, I think I can. Then when he got over the hill he said I thought I could, I thought I could. He actually told his brain he was capable of it and believed he could do it. When he made it up the hill, he rewarded his brain with the positive thought of, I thought I could. His brain got 2 totally different kinds of positive reinforcement endorphins. One set to tell him he was capable of it and another set to congratulate himself upon completing the task. Now his brain will more likely be positive toward the next impossible looking task.

It goes to show you that you can do anything you believe in. Lots of ancient civilizations strived to have mind over body. From martial arts to capitalism. Everyone that was successful though time did it because they believed they could do it. Bill Gates didn't create Microsoft overnight, but he believed himself the whole time in creation. That made it a reachable and achievable task. Positive energy and constant positive endorphins to Bill's brain got him where he is today. Bill taught himself to be very positive no matter what. If you ever met Bill Gates, you'll notice he is a very happy person.

Everyone will be affected by negative energy and be angry or crabby from time to time. That's a very natural human emotion. But it is not normal to be negative with every thought. Teach yourself to overcome obstacles with positive thought. You can make a huge difference in the outcome of your life. Every negative emotion needs to be over come by many positive ones. If you lose your job, your thoughts should not be, what do I do now? They should be, that's okay, I can find another job as easy as I got this one.

Close your eyes, see it, and believe you can. Those are the three keys to being positive on a daily basis. Before you make each decision through the day, take a step back, to see and believe in it. Give your brain the endorphins it needs to accomplish tasks easier. Positive thoughts create happy ones. Positive thoughts create a happy future. A happy future is a successful one. Give it a try.
