Instructions To developing A Positive Attitude

In today’s rat race, it is crucial to be on top of your game and have a ‘I can do this’ attitude to take on the challenges of life. As with most things of value, a positive attitude is not something that occurs overnight. Much like you dedicate time every week to running in order to build your physical body, you must dedicate time to build your mental body.

In this article, I will outline 3 ways to start you on your journey to developing a positive attitude.

1 – The Social Factor
It has been proven that your social circle carry the greatest influence as to your mindset and resulting behaviours. If most of your friends are sorry sods it is more than likely your social circle is restricting you from creating the attitude you want.

The solution?
Get social. Find people whom you believe will be a positive influence on your goal to creating a positive attitude This could be anyone from your grandma to a self help guru like Wayne Dyer. What you are after is the mechanisms and behaviors they incorporate to develop and maintain a positive attitude.

2 – The Human Constant
Another psychological fact – Humans strive to make their reality constant. This is one of the reasons why we, as a whole, can have such strong resistance to change.

So how do we make use of this?
Create a vision board. A vision board allows your vision a physical presence, helping you to refocus your efforts when you slip. For example, if you want to develop a positive attitude, you might place pictures of people with healthy attitudes you want to role model or strategies you want to implement to make your goal a reality.  Also, you can put post-it notes everywhere, reminding you of your goal and keeping it a constant in your life; in your car, on your desk, on the kitchen bench, everywhere! For example, the post it note could read: ‘I am a good person’

3 – Mind Monitoring
The third way to develop a helpful attitude is to have positive self talk. This means monitoring your train of thought. If you have a lot of negative thoughts like ‘People hate me’ and ‘No one cares about me’ its time to give your brain a shakeup. Consciously focus on cutting out negative thought trains and replacing them with positive thought trains.

To take it a step further, whenever you find yourself talking negatively, cut that as well. Sometimes it is best to ‘say nothing if you have nothing nice to say’.

4 Tips To Empower Yourself!

We all face hardships at some point in our lives. Some of us own responsibility and get on with our lives while most of us blame others. When you own responsibility for yourself you empower yourself. You are the cause and your life experiences are the results in your life.  You determine the direction of your life. You are in control of your life.

If you are not able to explain why your life is as it is, you are probably giving your power away to someone else, are you? Most of us tend to blame something else or someone else or our fate for all bad experiences in our life such as abusive childhood, loss of a loved one or broken relationships.  When you are not in control of yourself or your life that means you are powerless.  Blaming is a disempowering emotion.

If you think by blaming others for your life you are getting away from problems you are completely wrong. Your life problems would stay the same and recur again and again as long as you make someone else responsible for your life. You give others power to control you and your life. So your life problems would tend to stay the way they are until you take back your power and claim full responsibility for your emotions, actions and life as a whole.

True empowerment is taking responsibility for your life so that you are free to do whatever you want to do and be anything you choose to be.

Here are 4 tips to empower you:

1)    Make your own choices – Life is full of choices and you have the freedom to choose. You learn only through trial and error. Be bold and accept the outcome of your decisions. If your choice is correct, be happy. If not do not blame yourself or others. Instead, analyze where you went wrong and correct yourself. The next time around, you may be able to make the right choices.

2)    Practice deep breathing – If you make it a habit to practice deep breathing throughout the day, you would have clarity in your thoughts. You feel more relaxed to think clearly and make good judgments of your situations. 

3)    Feel grateful – Gratitude is something we never show for many things we enjoy in our life. Instead of cursing your problems look around you and realize how blessed you are to have nature bestow you good health, sunshine, food, good relationships, fresh air, etc. When you feel grateful for these things you are convinced that life is not bad at all.

4)    Develop mental awareness – Observe your thoughts. Are they good or bad? Are they positive or negative? If your thoughts are positive it is good. You could act on them with positive results. What if you have negative thoughts? You could still control them if you are aware of them. Empower yourself by being aware of your good and bad thoughts.

When you deal with your own pains and pleasures you are the controller of your life. Just know that no one else could take away your power to control your life and events because you are the master of your destiny.

No Time To Worry

There are many times in life in which I feel my mind has been overpowered by the things that life throws my way. As my mind reflects on these moments I have to remember that no matter what we do, life goes on. There is no limit to what we can do or handle. There is no boundry to the human environment. Still life can get the better of us at times. A financial struggle here, or a battle with the spouse there. Sometimes it comes in the for of an overpowering lonliness. Family struggles pry thier way into our minds. Our bodies feel as if there is no more strength. At times we feel like giving up with all of the stress that builds in our minds. We want to scream, cry, and kick until we can no longer utter a single word. We feel as if we are dead at times. Other times it’s like the world has forgotten our existance.

I have often time felt myself in these possitions if not more of them. It is important for us to remember what we have. We don’t have just another job, car, and house. We have our minds. They are the link of the living world. Even in these days of economic struggle we still breathe. We must look at these things to realise that we are human beings and we are part of life. When we shake the hand of one stranger we are also shaking the hands of every person he or she has shaken. When we breathe, we are breathing the same air that has passed through the lungs of a famouse person. Even the water that washes us clean in a shower, was once part of the rains the cleaned Christ’s blood from the rocks at Calvary. Every second of every breath of every thought determines how we live the rest of our lives. So at times It is hard to hold a head high. Still we are alive in much the same way. Still we are all different in the way we see, smell, hear, tast, and touch. The beauty I see in a person, may be ugly to another. That makes life interesting. We never know what the other person is thiking.

If any one thinks this article is just rambling on and on, stop a second right here….. Now count to three, and notice that the thoughts stressing you out have somehow been replaced by what your eyes read. Its not gone, but it dosn’t seem as bad. If my little article didn’t help as much as I hoped it did, stop again, breath, now remember one thing. This is the thing I started telling myself when I felt the world crushing my head. “I don’t have time to wory about life, I only have time to live it.” That is the simple truth. Why waste time with worry, when that time you can spend living, and seeing the beuty of life.

Charming Your Way to the Top

Charisma is a person’s ability to influence other people in a rather positive way. It is accomplished by connecting with them physically, intellectually, and emotionally. Charisma is all about relationship and how people regard you.

Charisma can definitely be developed. Anyone can add more to his or her persona. And being charismatic has a lot of advantages. The most of common of which is the possibility of being chosen the leader of a group.

There are ways you can improve your charisma. Just always remember that charisma is not something you are born with; it is something you develop.  Here are some ways you can work on improving it.

1. Improve your physical health. Charisma has a lot to do with your image and how people see you. That is why your physical health and hygiene is very important. Always strive to look good, neat, and appealing. This will be your first real step in achieving your goal.

2. Carry yourself effectively. As you pass by, you should give off a certain air of confidence. Looking at the ground at all times is not going to help. Hold your held erect and look other people in the eye. Don’t forget to smile as often as you can.

3. Improve the way you speak. Public speaking and the power of persuasion should come in full force. Oral communication skills matter a lot. Talk with assurance. Modulate your voice as necessary and express your views whenever appropriate.

4. Listen better. Speaking all the time is not good. As a future leader, you should also be good at listening to what other people have to say. Listening does not simply mean you stop talking and let somebody else do it. It means you pay attention so that you fully comprehend what the other person wants to impart.

5. Become an avid reader. A lot of charisma points are added to people who seem to know a lot. Stimulate the intellect of others. Start a good conversation and keep it going. You need not be an expert on a lot of things. Knowing a little bit about many subjects is good enough.

6. Teach others. Volunteer your proficiency. If there are things that you are really capable of, do not hesitate to take on the chance to share them with others. Knowledge shared is a lot more fulfilling than knowledge acquired. Keep this in mind at all times.

If you want to be successful, charisma is one of the traits you cannot do without. Charisma can definitely take you places. Improve on it as much as possible because the benefits are immeasurable.

How Good a Loser are You?

With every great gain comes a loss.

In my change work, I hold to the belief that change is easy and fast. I often have people push back and challenge that. Over and over I find that it is the associated loss that people usually fear. This is the thing that often gets overlooked, minimized, or ignored in change efforts. You may even see cases where people really want the change to happen, but find themselves faced with a major sense of loss. Here are five major areas of loss I have experienced in my practice.

Loss of Control

Responsible people like to have some sense of control. That is control of their environment, control of their work, control of their destiny. In work settings, people want to be able to control the important aspects of their work flow. Loss of control can mean unsatisfied customers, unmet performance goals, or loss of product quality.

Loss of Status

As you all know, every job has its own special status. A change often threatens that. Even when people move into a change that can be perceived as having more status, it is not uncommon that one might feel a pang of loss of the unique status they had before. For instance, the operations manager who moves into the role of General Manager might miss the more personal relationships in the old job and the status as an immediately available expert.

Loss of Personal Meaning

People often derive a lot of meaning through what they do each day, even what can seem like very small things. A change can have the sense of minimizing or invalidating that personal meaning. It is important that people feel valuable and that their efforts have been and will continue to be important.

Loss of Familiarity

Many people simply like to know what their future looks like on a daily basis. They sometimes like the familiarity of really knowing their job and having everything in order. They derive comfort from the status quo, even if that status quo is not particularly comfortable. Just as an example, people who have been released after years of imprisonment sometimes miss the familiarity of prison.

Loss of Predictability

Very simply, people like to be able to handle whatever comes up. With learning comes predictability; with a new system comes the loss of the old and the requirement to learn the new. Whether the change is related to a new way of dealing with customers or new financial software, it means that people no longer have the predictability they once enjoyed. Set up ways of having people support each other in on-going forums or celebrate the learning that is ahead with the change.

To help change succeed, help people deal with loss

Remember, there is nothing wrong with any of these feelings. When a person feels loss associated with change, it is very normal. It only becomes a problem if that loss continues goes un addressed and begins to hold its own energy, which then prevents people from fully engaging the present. When people don’t talk about or express their feelings of loss, they tend to get bigger rather than smaller. Providing an open forum for people to release the past can catapult you into the future.

Successful change requires two concurrent paths

First, people need adequate engagement and planning to ensure that the important aspects of the work and life will be addressed and that they can be successful in the new system. At the same time, they need to let go of the old state. Imagine being on a trapeze, needing to let go of one bar in order to catch the other. If you know the other bar will support you, you are confident in your ability to time and hold on, and your safety nets are in place, it is much easier to let go of the bar you are holding. So go on, make your plans and turn loose. Be a good loser.

Change the way you think and change your life…

“In your childhood these behaviors were safe guards or what you probably needed to do to survive as best you could, but as an adult they are not working.”

Change the way you think and change your life.

I want you to help yourself change how you think, so you can change the way you act, thus changing your life for the better. A positive way to enhance your life is open to you. However, just like diets there is no quick fix. When do you want to start feeling better about yourself emotionally and stop using food as a coping mechanism? You can pay now or pay later. It takes work to examine your challenges, to recognize old behaviors and create healthy ones.

Unfortunately, some of our emotional foundations are not built with strong materials or are not made to withstand long-term sustainability. Our foundations such as “I am a good person, I like myself, I treat myself with respect, I should have good things happen to me, I want to be healthy, etc. are cracked or at the brink of collapse.

When this happens we start feeling frustrated with our thoughts about our lives. We dislike ourselves, certain situations, relationships, and/or careers. Life has many triggers for people that seem to take them into a downward spiral, once they appear. One of the ways to cope with these feelings, which always boil down to fear or hating yourself, is to overeat, under eat, control your eating to obsessive behavior, stop the current program in which you’re participating or to come up with excuses as to why you can not reach your goal. The biggest culprit of all is procrastination, “I know what I am supposed to do; I just do not do it”.

Therefore, the question becomes, “why not do it?” It is not because you are not smart or determined enough. It is because your brain (neurology) is avoiding dealing with anything that causes fear, pain, stress, anxiety etc. This is much more powerful than trying not to overeat on the couch in front of the TV at night. You will use food to deal with any structural tension that comes up in your life.

“However, you need to examine these feelings as to how they became to be part of your reality.”

Understand that there is always a benefit to a habit/belief or how you deal with things or else you would not do them. If you are afraid to fail at things because you were yelled at as a kid for any type of mistake or had to do everything perfectly growing up and you could not because no one is, perfect then your brain may come up with many excuses as to why you cannot eat well or exercise. The same is true if your parents or caretakers told you that things you did were not good enough. The scenarios are different for people but the outcomes are the same.

• I do not have time to go to the store to buy food
• I am very busy
• It is too hard

Therefore, if you set yourself up for failure you do not have to worry about letting yourself or anyone else with unbridled expectations down. Thus avoiding more pain or suffering. However, this vicious cycle is never broken and ends up causing even more pain because now you are frustrated that once again you cannot reach a goal you have set and feel even worse about yourself.

Understand that how you feel seems very real, which is why your thoughts and actions reflect these feelings. However, you need to examine these feelings as to how they became to be part of your reality. First, determine what triggered your feelings or your general state of mind. What were you feeling, why were you feeling this way, and from where did these feelings arise.

More often than not, we take the blame for situations or tell ourselves we are crazy or going out of our minds for how we are feeling since we do not know why. It is like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz, until the curtain came down and revealed the truth, everyone thought he was this great and all-powerful wizard and were frightened of him. He was just a man who created the illusion of something powerful. Suddenly, it was not mysterious or frightening anymore. The truth really does set you free.

“Start recognizing these in different aspects of your life and you will allow yourself to reach your goals.”

More than likely you did not learn to dislike yourself, or tell yourself to be perfect all the time, or blame yourself for everything. This is something you learned or experienced or saw as a child and overtime developed behaviors and attitudes/habits around it to get through it. In your childhood these behaviors were safe guards or what you probably needed to do to survive as best you could but as an adult they are not working. Moreover, now you carry these behaviors and thoughts with you but these are not yours to carry and after a while, they become too heavy. You can unveil the curtain as to why you have these behaviors or feelings but you will have to do the work as who they came from and why. This does not mean that you need to blame your parents or caretakers, just recognize that it came from them and you no longer have to keep sabotaging yourself.

Start recognizing these in different aspects of your life and you will allow yourself to reach your goals. You may tell yourself that this is too hard or too much work on your part but it will only get harder in the long run…unfortunately, you can pay now or pay later. Is it harder to lose 5lbs or 40 lbs., do you like being in your downward spiral or would you like to break the pattern? This old pattern is a great way to avoid the truth, to avoid ever losing weight or feeling better.

Once you work on this process, you can change your old patterns and negative thoughts and behaviors. You can replace them with new positive beliefs and perceptions and let go of some of your fears. This will allow more time in your life to think, plan, visualize, and evolve into something that will make you be the person you have always known yourself to be, instead of looking over your shoulder for fear of the next bad experience or situation to happen. This will enable you to reach goals but most importantly experience a little more liveliness and happiness in your life. Moreover, helping you maintain a healthy eating lifestyle and exercise program for life.

Why shouldn’t Dr. Manmohan Singh, be the next PM?

Why shouldn’t Dr. Manmohan Singh, be the next PM?

Some feedback gathered from Linkedin community:

1. failed in his job. people are more miserable than 5 yrs back.

2. not tough against terrorism

3. sycophant

4. degraded the position of the prime minister of India and lowered it’s prestige

5. a puppet of party president.

6. no mass following. not a powerful & charismatic leader

Only one reason: Congress should loose these elections for making “italian mafia type leadership” rule. The country needs a break.

This important position only for that person who is capable to take position of leading millions of countryman to safe, sound and quiet life. Instead of giving false promises of improving economy in 100 days the aspiring person should take the nation to the World recognition in areas of technology, investment profiles and show competency of manpower of this country.

You are living in a fool’s paradise.
Nowhere in the world Indian technology has actually made a mark. India is just well known as a low cost, effective service provider. India’s independent contribution to intellectual property and innovation is negligible. True, India’s biggest asset is it’s high quality Human Resources.

Do you mean that MMS has provided us with safe, sound, secure and quiet life?
You talk about capability, so pl answer about the capabilities of President of India, Defence Minister, Home Minister, Finance, ….. bunch of jokers.

It’s time to change this incompetent government.

It is not fools’ paradise
It is the hypocracy which is prevalent in this country. I am never in favour of Congress because of this element And believe it do you (I refer the citizen of this country) have guts to get up like Jayprakash Narayan and challenge the Dos and Donts. Do we have guts like Ratan Tata to switch over the venue of NENO production? Do we have guts like Narendra Modi to have positive thinking? Do we have guts like Sanjay Gandhi to be Pro active? Likewise there are many qualities of different people which should be considered rather than thinking it is Congress which only have good leaders. MMS and NR both remained in power for 5 years but took country into reverse gear.

Nonetheless, it is electorate who will decide the fate of this country not you or I .

It is surely a time to change this country will the good leader but not of Congress.

Is this Government really protecting us??!!

1. Every major city in India has been attacked consistently over the last two years. Since 2004, 3850 Indians have died in Terror attacks in over 300 incidents. Is the common Indian on the streets really safe?
2. Last year our Govt. has given around Rs 3000 crores (600 Million Dollars) to Afghanistan? This, when victims of terror in India have not yet got aid? What’s going on? http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/aug/11pant.htm
3. “And as per the CAG website (Controller Audit General of India) more than 50,000crores rupees has gone missing from the Govt. Treasury” ( http://www.cag.gov.in/html/reports/civil/2007-08_CA13_civil/chap_2.pdf )
4. Government of India gifted $4.5 million (nearly Rs 23 crore) for Harvard University to establish a fund in honor of Prof Amartya Sen, which would help Indian students pursue higher education in that institution. This was to celebrate the 75th birth day of the renowned economist in recognition of his “extraordinary accomplishments” .The government had earlier given £3.2 million (nearly Rs 26 crore) to the Cambridge University’s Judges Business school to celebrate Nehru’s entry as a student of Trinity College. Why should a developing country like India fund the cash-rich institutions of the West? http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1214632
5. When Madarasas are being shut down in Pakistan, the Indian Government is giving them CBSE status !! This law is depriving Muslim children in getting secular education. A Madarasa educated person can get a job in any government office without going through the secular education system. Can India afford to have fundamentalists in government departments? Why cannot the government shut down Madarasa and let Muslim children study with the rest?

7. 70 lakh crores rupees of India are lying in Switzerland banks. This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world. German Government has officially written to Indian Government that they are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 lakh crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them. On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers. Present government has adopted a policy of deafening silence and inaction. If the people of India elect a BJP-led NDA Government in May 2009, the BJP has assured the nation that India will join the global effort to get back the real Sovereign Wealth of our country.

Having said all this even BJP, the National Level Alternative, has proved only little better, but for now we need a change. Let us choose the lesser of the two evils. The same present party brought to power again means encouraging unabated corruption and threat to national security.
Stand up for this most tolerant and ancient civilization and prevent this great nation from becoming a communal battleground. As citizens of India we must vote for change.

WAKE UP INDIANS. LETS VOTE FOR CHANGE

With due respect to all of you I simply have following questions for you all;
1. Where is the alternative?
2. What is the guarantee that the alternative will not do the same.
3. Who has guts to bring money lying is Swiss Banks when most parties have close nexus to these people.
4. Who will fight to bring down this close nexus of Politicians, Industrialists, Media People, and people responsible for maintaining law and order in India.
5. Not an easy task……anyway lets fight together.

well are we all ready to form intellectual groups who speak about citizen rights and train the current and young generation on their rights as well as learn to give a mandate to the people who want to be elected which is of the work they need to do in the province they get selected .Mr.Manmohan Singh at least is a qualified and a level headed person. look at the majority they have number of criminal cases running on them .WE NEED CRITERIA’S FOR SELECTION .Well Emotional Quotient as well as the Intelligence Quotient is to be also considered.WE ASK MANY QUESTIONS TO PEOPLE WHO COME FOR GIVING INTERVIEWS , WHEN WE GO FOR BANK LOAN BANKS ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS AND IT GOES ON.BUT NO QUESTIONS ASKED TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO RULE US

Frankly, the projected PM candidate by the BJP brings only one thing to my mind: his patently stupid actions that caused communal riots all over the country (including putting my own – and my friends’ lives in danger). How on earth can I ever expect anything constructive from a person who has so amply displayed his utter lack of maturity. I am absolutely unable to recollect a single constructive thing that this former ‘Deputy PM’ has done.So, let us park the ability question.

Are you talking ‘intention’ and ‘sincerity’, then? If someone seriously believes that Mr. Advani scores higher (or even anywhere near) compared to Dr. Singh, I have no words for you :-)Why would you have words, when you do not know what to speak, its because of his single handed bungling that we have landed in the mess we have, the last joke was tytler and sajjan kumar getting back the right to contest elections. all with a sikh pm at the helm.

The no of absolute poor has grown in the country by almost 26% during the Upa regime, the prime architects are Mssrs MMS and co.

Its public knowledge that DR MMS and PC did not see eye to eye on several issues, Primarily India has been led into the mess we are, purely due to the neglect and lack of courage which DR MMS should have shown but never did.

Today from a surplus we are a deficit economy. We fear for our security and our cricketers go to another country to play club cricket, incidentally which is also facing elections, our movement on building infrastructure has completely stalled, business has no access to liquid capital and FII”s are contemplating running away.

in my personal opinion theres no point resting on all the laurels of what he did 20 years ago, anybody with the situation he had then would have done the same, today he does not deserve to be PM

Check his A team out

Kamal Nath, Pranab Mukherjee, PC (NREGS), Sharad Pawar (loan subsidy), AR Antulay, TR Baalu (the man who singlehandedly broke indias infrastructure), Ambumani Ramadoss,

Should i go on

We dont need these guys anymore…

Well..well. I feel your statement is narrow when you stated above MMS as Sikh PM. He has always presented himself as an Indian PM only and never as a PM from a community. ALMOST EVERYONE WILL AGREE TO THIS.

Secondly, please rethink about cricketers playing abroad (It was their choice as no one forced them to go). Actually they could not wait to play club cricket even in this heat, say 4 pm of May, for all commercial reasons and ignoring intelligence inputs when security forces wld be busy in more important task of elections. These guys could not even care for Padamshree awards for such reasons.

Though it is entirely their choice, but at the same time I think it is also a very wise decision not to put people to risk for such club cricket till the elections are over. And you would agree that terrorism is not a threat only from Congress rule. It happened in governments in past (less or more).

CAN I ASK THIS Q?
WHY DONT you give example of India getting MORE CRICKET MATCHES FOR WORLD CUP from Pakistan’s share?

@ Ameet
True, congress has screwed up in each & every part of India.
Forget cricket, if congress is around, India might break up due to their divisive policies. At this rate we are headed for civil wars & bloody revolutions.
I hope we get a new government this time.

It seems as if Mr.Ameet and Mr.Jaydeep Roy have been paid by BJP or have certain political connections with BJP and are hell bent on convincing that Congress is wrong why is Mr.Manmohan Singh the wrong P.M beacuse he is educated , cultured and thinks before he speaks and has tolerance levels which many parties don’t have .
Well being soft spoken means what it’s bad ….
Lets be practical and understand what are we trying to provide to our children a country of hatred or love.THE MAIN ASPECT IS WE ALL NEED AN ENVIRONMENT WERE EVERYONES CHILDREN CAN STUDY AND CAN GROW AND BE THE BEST HUMANS AS EXAMPLES FOR US AS WELL AS THE WORLD

You could do even better Joydeep, you could accuse him of being on the payroll of the TALIBAN, Lashkar E Toiba, Jaish E Mohammed, Pseudo Secular Wing of the Congress Party, The Salafi’s & Wahabbis of Saudi Arabia who happen to be funding most of the mosque construction and Madrasa’s in the sub-continent especially in India. Salim also happens to be based in the middle east so you can never rule out Hamas, Hezbollah or President Ahmedinejad’s coterie in Iran.

All That Tripe, does not change the facts in terms of the absolute failure the congress has delivered in the past 5 years, It also does not change the fact that in case the congress does come to power, there is no better leader other than MMS who can keep it together, Rahul Gandhi is not an option yet and no-one else seems to have the political sensibilities or following other than mr pawar who incidentally is a pariah…

BTW, i also do not happen to be a card carrying member of any party, but the work that i see the bjp doing in gujarat rajasthan and karnataka makes me want to be a part of the promise they have. I shall always wish the congress was better, but we would never have been in the mess we are in today were it not for the congress either…
