14 Tips for a Healtier Attitude

I consider myself to have a healthy attitude, I don’t consider myself too pessimistic or too optimistic, the other day I was asked by a friend how they can have a more optimistic attitude, even in the face of this market.  A little research and I came up with this list:

1. Practice optimism. Each day try to name three good things that have happened during the day.  Optimism is a habit, practice it.
2. Focus on positives, not negatives. Try using terms such as “Absolutely” or “I’ll see what I can do” instead of “I can’t” or “It won’t work.”
3. Maintain a sense of perspective and humor. Ask yourself, “How important is this really?”
4. Believe that others have good intentions, they usually do.
5. Become a problem-solver. Focus on the solution.
6. Be alert to negative thoughts and switch those thoughts to positive ones.
7. Take control of the way you respond to stress and conflict.
8. Manage your stress and stay relaxed. Take mental breaks and deep breaths or take a walk.
9. Stay healthy. Eating healthy and drinking water (instead of caffeine) throughout the day will help you think clearly.
10. Empathize with others. Treat others as they would want to be treated.
11. Openly offer praise, thanks, apologies, and support.
12. Smile! Smiling can actually make you happier.
13. Exercise, walking, jogging, anything that you enjoy, helps relax the body and mind.
14. Accept the things that you cannot control or change.
