How to change your attitude


John N. Mitchell said it best when he said that, “Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.” We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

You cant actually change your completely without much willpower, determination, patience and it requires hard work ,time and practice.In this context it is better to say correct you attitude or make it better.

Follow these few steps:

  1. Stop focusing on yourself. A lot of pessimism arises from false or unreasonable expectations, especially when those expectations involve yourself.
  2. Face your flaws. We all  have something upon which we can improve, so whether you're at work, at  home, or anywhere else, be open to learning more.
  3. Look on the bright side.  In every undesirable circumstance, there is always a way to look on the  brighter side. This isn't to say that you should live your life  dishonestly, always ignoring the bad in favor of a fake smile. Instead,  accept the bad things but also think about how much worse it could have  been.
  4. Befriend optimistic people. Sometimes a poor attitude  is a result of being surrounded by others with poor attitudes. As it  has been said, "Bad company corrupts good character." Consider  befriending new people, especially people who are optimistic and have a  healthy attitude towards life.
  5. Identify and understand what you want to change.
    The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to  do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly  which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.
  6. Look for a role model.
    We all need to know that what we’re trying to accomplish  can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or  more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to  have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to  move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a  better person
  7. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.
    To be able to hurtle through all the difficulties that lie  ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure  out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will  changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a  change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix  your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude  change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.
  8. Believe that you are able to change.
    Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is  ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you  don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change,  it just won’t happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so  you won’t  have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.
  9. Watch TED videos for motivation.
  10. Realize optimism is a choice.
     You are  not born with a positive or negative attitude. It is something you  become through your perspective of experiences. Very few situations are  completely bad. Always try to come up with three to five positives of any challenging situation and write them down so you can remember them.
