Find That Place To Regain Your Attitude

When attitude is in short supply around you, do you downwardly spiral towards the negative? Do you enter a room and instantly look for others to lift you? It can be a very difficult thing to bring yourself up before entering a room of people or event. It can be very easy to take your issues and pass them along to those you meet.

It is a battle we all have to wage in putting ourselves in order. As a person of great attitude, you lift yourself above placing your issues on others. The rocks you carry in your wagon are not for others. They are for laying a smooth path for others to follow.

But there are many that are great and positive folks when things are going good. Yet the times when things are not going so well, will come into a room of people and instinctively try to unload their problems on others. This doesn't resolve your issues, it doesn't lift others around you and it certainly doesn't reflect the success in your life you are trying to achieve.

When you find that a situation is bringing you down, you have to find something or a place to go into that will turn that around. For some it may be grabbing some ice cream, careful with this one on your weight. It could be taking a walk in the park, a long hot shower or sitting quietly in meditation.

For me it is putting on headphones and listening to classical music. It focuses my attention on what may be bothering me, what may be bringing me down. My goal is to bring my attitude back to a level that can impact others. This I do so that when I enter that room of people or event, my attitude is on a higher level.

Yourself can achieve this same thing. You will begin to find that little by little, when the downward spiral begins it can be caught earlier. At first you sink deep and it takes work to bring yourself back up. As time goes along and you find ways or that 'place' to bring you up - you will catch yourself sooner. The sinking will not be nearly as deep and be able to develop methods that can quickly right yourself. A positive attitude that flows in and through you will have a great impact on others, including yourself.
