How to generate a positive attitude in your life

In the world of personal growth there are many inspirations that we can focus on to achieve our goals. Emotions, positive mindset, overcoming fears, limiting beliefs, relationships, leadership and many other areas that, if improved, will propel us towards what we want.

But there is an ability, strength, competence, quality, or whatever we want to call it, which in my opinion is a common denominator. It is the ATTITUDE. If there is not the right attitude, any attempt at improvement will have a great chance of staying put. Without the necessary attitude, we will be leaving the result in other hands that are not ours, that is, we lose responsibility and protagonism.

It seems clear that a masterful attitude is connected with a positive mindset, and it is true. But you have to differentiate that attitude is more than a mental process. It all starts in the mind, the difference lies in the consequences on the physical plane. And the attitude unleashes its full potential on the physical plane. In fact, the Royal Spanish Academy mentions three definitions of the word attitude: the state of mind that is expressed in a certain way, and the other two definitions refer to posture: of the body. All definitions refer to expression on the physical plane.

"To check if your attitude is correct, look at yourself and analyze what your body expresses"

Attitude is a decision. As simple and complex as this. It is a tremendously fast process that is generated at the mental level and that arises from an order that is produced in our mind. If we explain it as a kind of internal dialogue it would be something like this:

“Hey you, what are you doing? You know well that it depends on you to be good or to be bad. Change your mood right now. Move, shout, jump, dance, do what you want but you have to change this. So start seeing the world from another perspective, more positive and joyful. Trust and have faith now because otherwise you will not change anything. Define your attitude, now! "

We can have a perfect plan of action, we can have the optimal material and physical resources. We can have the objective well defined. We can have identified the obstacles, the fears. We can know ourselves better than ever. But all of this won't be empowering enough without a masterful attitude..

The attitude is like the clothing with which you want to start your adventure, to end it in success. You are going to design it. You will choose what colors you will wear, what material it will be, the size, and the accessories. That clothing will define how you are going to feel, how you are going to behave and what actions you are going to carry out.. It all starts there. What clothing have you used on previous occasions? What is that clothing like that would give you the resources and energy you need? What attitude defines that outfit?

Here are some tips to achieve that attitude that will improve your results:

• In the morning when you wake up, commit to yourself to choose the attitude with which you will spend the rest of your day. Write it down and take it with you everywhere. When you feel like you're falling apart, re-visualize your attitude and remind your brain of the commitment you've made.
• Define what actions you are not going to allow yourself with that attitude. Choose if you want to complain or learn, if you want to be condescending or assertive, if you are going to wait or act. Write it too.
• Associate a body posture with your attitude. Describe this posture and from time to time test if your body manifests that posture.
• Mentally visualize the clothing associated with that attitude.
• Create a message of encouragement. A motto that when you repeat it to yourself activates you, recharges your batteries and gives you back the “why” you do that.
• Take a good look at the attitude of the people who have achieved what you want. Analyze and name that successful attitude from your perspective.

I hope you have learned the great importance of a masterful attitude on a day-to-day basis. I will love knowing your keys to maintain and create that attitude that pushes you to achieve your goals. See you soon.
