• Improve health and the immune system
HOW TO CHANGE NEGATIVE ATTITUDES:
• Learn how to manage negativity
• Learn how to cleanse bad / negative attitudes
________________________________________
1. Acknowledge Your Negative Attitude:
You can't ignore it and expect it to disappear by itself. Do not try to convince others that they should change and think like you think. Ask them for suggestions and help.
2. Model positive behavior:
Choose someone successful with a positive attitude and imitate them.
3. Look for and identify the positives in all situations:
We forget to find the positive in each situation and we are addicted in focusing our mind in the negative part of the events. We are quick to dismiss others' ideas. We should try to identify the effort while kindly discussing the idea.
4. Give positive recognition:
Provide positive recognition as soon as you find out about good performance. Acknowledge other's efforts and you will change their attitude and win their cooperation.
5. Refrain from gossiping:
It is easy to get caught in the general complaining especially in informal discussions. When faced with negative conversations, consider changing the subject. You could suggest the following: "Let's talk about something more positive", or ask "how the situation could be solved."
6. Refrain from blaming self or others:
Blaming keeps you in the negative attitude, closed to other points of view and creates resistance to change and advancing.
7. Breathe deeply before reacting to any disturbing situation:
Knowing what make s you react,...take 10 deep breathe before reacting. You want to train yourself to act and not to react.
8. Identify your greatest strength:
What single quality do you possess that you think makes you a good person?... Identifying this will allow you to focus on your positive behavior.
9. Focus in the outcome:
In a difficult situation, you should ask yourself: What results or outcome do I desire?... Is this something I should be spending my energy on?...
10. Take a walk or take distance for a few minutes to cool down:
Take time during the walk to build up the best strategy to improve or solve the situation.
VERY IMPORTANT
DO THE UNEXPECTED!
sURPRISE EVERYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF!!!!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
