Step 4: Reinforce Positivity in Yourself
Once
I started thinking more positively and adapted to a more positive attitude, I
realized I had to reinforce these thoughts and behaviors in myself so they
would stick. As with any sort of training, practice makes perfect, and, yes,
you can practice being positive.
The
best and easiest way to do this is to be positive when it comes to who you are.
Tell yourself you’re awesome. Tell yourself you look good. Tell yourself that
you love and accept yourself completely. Tell
yourself you did an awesome job at work or raising your kids or whatever it is
you do.
Be
honest with yourself, but do your best to look for the good. And, whatever you
do, don’t focus on the negative. Nothing good can come of telling
yourself that your butt’s too big or your latest career goal wasn’t met.
It’s
okay to not like everything about yourself (yet), but don’t spend energy
dwelling on the negative. Remind yourself of the good in you. We all have
positive attributes and it’s up to you to remind yourself of them every day.
