How To Achieve Success With A Total Attitude Makeover

"How do I makeover my attitude?"

"Where is the real me hiding?"

"I know I can be more in life, but I am failing miserably."

"I have so many goals that I am not achieving. What's the reason?"

In this day of personal makeovers, we've seen people lose 250 pounds, get a new house, and finally go after their dream career. But for many, an alteration of attitude alone can bring a transformative life experience.

Simply changing how you approach daily life may help you achieve your ultimate goals.

Even if you don't think you're in need of a total attitude makeover, check out some of the ideas below to discover positive approaches you can take to get the most out of your life.

Are you "stuck" in a dominant attitude?

If you find yourself feeling stuck or the same way about a variety of situations in life, maybe you're hanging on to the same attitude. If you have a particular, less-than-positive approach that dominates your life, it may be time for a makeover.

Reflect on your feelings

Take time to think about how you feel most of the time. How would you describe your dominant attitude? Is it contentment, sluggishness, happiness, annoyance, satisfaction, resentment, peace, envy, joy, worry, inquisitiveness, or even anger?

How do you feel most of the time?

Examine your attitude type

As you can see, some attitudes are positive, optimistic and motivating. If you're blessed with a naturally positive dominant attitude, you're in solid command of your life. You're most likely already living the good life you deserve.

But if you notice that a less positive attitude is pervasive, make the decision now to alter how you think and feel.

Consider the following regarding these more challenging attitudes, and the ways in which they can detract from the quality of your life:

Sluggishness

If you have a sluggish attitude toward life, you'll find yourself simply plodding along, doing barely what is required to get by. You might take little interest in anything and prop your feet in front of the television at every spare moment. Chances are, you set few, if any, goals.

Annoyance

If you find yourself consistently annoyed, you probably rarely feel satisfied with life. Something is usually amiss. When you're annoyed, you may often sit in judgment of others, whom you see as unable to "do things right."

Resentment

Being resentful involves feeling rankled, troubled and worked up most of the time. When resentment is your dominant attitude, you may feel challenged to manifest positive events in your life or enjoy the ones that do occur.

Envy

Feeling envious of others can include wanting what someone else has or feeling spiteful toward or competitive with others.

Worry

A prevailing attitude of worry means you often experience nagging feelings that things are not quite okay. In advance of an event, you construct many possible scenarios, with few of them leading to a satisfying finish.

Anger

An angry attitude is exhausting if you have to deal with it on a day-to-day basis, whether it's your own attitude or someone else's. When this attitude is dominant, usually there is a general sense of unhappiness.

Make Over Your Attitude

Once you determine you might benefit from an attitude makeover, you can get started right away. As an adult, you most likely already have all the skills you need to change your challenging state of mind.

Follow these four strategies to experience the joys of a more positive dominant attitude:

Out With The Old.

Decide to rid yourself of the attitude that brings you down.

Are you ready to ditch this bad attitude?

 

Remind Yourself.

Post reminders on your mirror and refrigerator and in your car to "catch" and let go of your old attitude.

What kind of reminders will help you?

 

In With The New.

Select a more uplifting attitude as your dominant one. For example, happiness, joy, peace, satisfaction, or contentment as your chief attitude will strengthen your passion for life. When you notice your old attitude creeping in, replace it immediately with a more optimistic, motivating one. Refuse to surrender your power to that old state of mind.

What new attitude will you select?

 

Reaffirm.

Apply your new frame of mind. Every day, say to yourself, "No matter what, I am [your new attitude]." Remind yourself that you're stronger than your old, ineffective attitude.

How will you affirm your new attitude? What will you say or do?

 

If you identified any of the above challenging attitudes as your primary emotional state, you may find a lot of fulfillment from an attitude makeover.

By following these suggestions, you can begin to enjoy the good life you've always dreamed of.
