You choose your attitude, and then your actions will speak for themselves, so by choosing a positive attitude, we are saying we are not ignoring the negative, but choosing to focus on the positive.
Positivity thrives on trust, opportunity, commitment, and team involvement. Those same ingredients encourage and nurture a negative person. But the negative person takes this to the extreme and has a negative effect on those in their circle of influence.
It is up to each positive person to see past someone else’s negativity to offer help, we may not get the reward of an improved attitude, but remembering your attitude is your choice and you cannot demand anyone accept your way as the only way.
Exercises to teach, mentor, reinforce, and apply in building proficiency at showing a Positive Attitude:
1. Say a cheerful “Good Morning” to everybody.
2. Tell colleagues when you appreciate their help.
3. Ask a colleague what they need… and help them get it.
4. Smile while listening and talking.
5. Speak well of your employer.
6. Take a proposed solution to the boss with every problem.
7. Tell the boss about something good that a colleague has done.
8. Choose not to gossip — or listen to gossip.
9. Accept assignments with a smile, saying, “I’ll be happy to!”
10. Make somebody feel better daily.
11. Volunteer for a job that needs doing.
12. Offer sincere congratulations when others have a success
