Attitude: Practical Guidelines

Alright then, this is the last posting on Attitude. We really summarized some key thoughts in the Attitude: Part 3 section. Now for some guidelines. Note to you, these are guidelines and are not meant to be cast in blood and concrete. The guidelines are broad and universal and can be expanded on. Please write then down.

The six stages of attitude change include:

1. Identify problem feelings
2. Identify problem behaviour
3. Identify problem thinking
4. Identify right thinking
5. Make a public commitment to right thinking
6. Develop a plan for right thinking

OK, you will notice that we have addressed all of the above in this whole series on Attitude. If you have missed it, or some of the points are still not clear to you; write me a note on the Comments section.

On your plan for right thinking, what are the things the plan should include?

• A written definition of your desired thinking
• A way to measure progress
• A daily measuring of progress
• A person to whom you are accountable
• A daily diet of self-help materials
• Associating yourself with right thinking people

What am I saying, what is being asked form you?

Develop some more good habits, improve on the good habits you already have, discard the old way of thinking and doing. Take charge, be disciplined!

Look at this: ACTION (1 hour/day); HABIT (everyday); ATTITUDE (I am a champion); THOUGHT (I can do it); MEDITATED THOUGHT (In your quiet place); DECISION (Implement)

Looking at the sequence or cycle above, it can be either negatively or positively applied. In this instance, with the right attitude (i.e. a POSITIVE MINDSET), the application will yield a good attitude which will inevitably produce SUCCESS!

BREAKTHROUGH!

HAPPINESS!

FAVOUR!

A NEW YOU!
