Being that positive mental attitude is a continual process,there is a need to anchor it one something that will always trengthen your resolve and remind you to be positive. This anchoring can be a simple ritual built from your daily activities.
Before we build the ritual activity,lets recall one important point, that is the fact that you have the power of decision,the power to transform any situation through your power to decide.
Having this power implies that no external thing can harm or deny you of what you want to do or be.
Let paint a picture.
Two boys grew up from an alcoholic father,one became a good drunk capable of drinking an incredible amount of alcohol without getting tipsy or getting high and without hangovers. When asked the secret,he said he wanted to be a better drunk than his father who mostly misbehaved after drinking night after night.
The second boy never drank,when asked why,he said he watched his father and swore never to drink.
One experience,two reactions,the deciding factor is the decision to be,so irrespective of the situation,different results were obtained.
So also it is with your endeavours and your career. In your endeavour to suceed,the presiding judge is not the ugly event out there,it is in your decision “to be” that willl determine everything.
So lets get back on track,
From a personal experience,i build positive mental attitude using two methods on daily basis. The first,i learnt after reading the power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. This involves deciding to be optimistic early in the morning when i wake up,i decide to build the positive mental atttiude to bath my day with the sun of a clear and sucexful achievement of set agender. I try not to think of the challenges as defeating me,rather i see myself creating alternative ways to achieve desired result. Even if the image or idea of a litany of challenges try to creep into my mental vision,i delete it with a clearer image of a more sucexful day.
After this decision,i go down to pray for a great day. Prayer is the begining of all sucexful activity,not a quick fix formula, though to some people prayer is a fix applied only when the storms hit hard.
I pray and declare a better day through postive affirmation.
Secondly,i use my coffea period to renew my zeal to commit to my work and build it. This i do with coffea and biscuit. Just as a pastor prays over commmunion,so also i declare words of faith over my coffea and biscuit then i gozzle my black elixir.
” Life and death is in the tongue”
– Holy Writ
On the days i dont do coffea,i take other herbal tea,ginger or zobo or pawpaw leaves or any other,i still say my silent prayer and declare words of a brighter day before drinking it.
After these two,i cruise my day with the confidence of a champ.
You can create yours and anchor your positive mental attitude to it,let it serve to renew your zeal to achieve your best.
You are the best,dont allow anybody or any mental attitude say otherwise. Maintain a positive mental attitude always
