What Influences Your Attitude? Handout Exercise
Check Your Attitude I am an enthusiastic person. I am happy on the inside. I look for the good in things. I usually talk about the good in things. I say why I like things and people, not why I don't. I look for the opportunity when something bad happens. I forgive people who have hurt or offended me. If I have nothing nice to say, I say nothing. I encourage myself. I use positive-attitude language. I avoid can't and won't. I have a positive self image.
Check Your Attitude I have a positive self image. I exercise choices that build my positive attitude. I help others without expectation or measuring. I encourage others to succeed. I am happy about myself and my life. I work on my attitude every day. I ignore people who try to discourage me or tell me "you can't". I count my blessings every day. I believe in myself. ONCE YOU DISCOVER WHAT YOUR ATTITUDE IS, OR ISN'T, you'll have a starting point and an understanding on how to move forward.
Laughter is the "best" medicine. • "A Merry Heart doeth good like a medicine.“ - Proverbs • Funny is not confused with cynical or biting humor. • Do you laugh easily and often? Do you love to laugh? Are you happy on the inside? • Drain your brain at the end of every day! These are some warning signals • Whining - Things are not going right-WAH • Wining - Drinking to relax • Complaining - Looking at what's wrong with things and people • Blaming - It is always someone else's fault • Cynicism - Always a snide remark at the success of others or condition of the world • Short Fuse - Loose temper that creates negative energy blocking creative thought • Tylenol p.m.!!
