Step1
The first step in maintaining a positive attitude is having the desire to be positive. I have met so many people that live in the "ditch" and never want to be pulled out. What do I mean by that you ask. Simple really, their life is all about doom and gloom and they love it. Oh, by the way, misery loves company. Once that you have decided that you have the desire to maintain a positive attitude, it is time to move on to the next step.
Step2
Positive attitudes are achieved through a few avenues. The 2 that I like the best is 1 - Positive Affirmation 2 - Law of Attraction Now, lets discuss both. Positive Affirmation - Positive affirmations program the subconscious mind to attract success and improve your life. Affirmations are positive statements that describe a desired situation, and which are repeated many times, in order to impress the subconscious mind and trigger it into positive action. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the affirmations, they have to be repeated with attention, conviction, interest and desire. Law of Attraction - You get what you think about, whether wanted or unwanted. The Law of Attraction is neutral.
Step3
Another portion to maintaining a positive attitude is the ability to try. I have never met a successful person that was afraid of trying. Failure was noted by Thomas Edison as being 1 step closer to success. Think where we would be if he had been negative about all the times he failed in making the light bulb.
Step4
The last step in maintaining a positive attitude is to surround yourself with positive. There are a ton of books, dvds, and tapes out on Positive Attitudes, but for the most part, you need to be around people, places, and things that ooze the positive vibes.
