Zig Ziglar tells a story of a woman with a negative attitude who hated her job, shifted her attitude and changed her life.
Unless you take step #1, you’ll NEVER get anything better in life.
This is great, shows how to be grateful for what you currently have and aren’t appreciative of.
You aren’t going to change anyone else, You can only change YOU. It’s all internal.
Change your Self-Talk, make it as much POSITIVE as you can. You might feel weird at first, I know I do sometimes. I’m kind of lucky now though, I have a mirror in my dorm room, and a private little suite bathroom for me and my 5 other suitemates that I can use. This way I’m not standing in the public bathroom in front of 100 or 200 kids on the hall, but only 5 :-p
I know if someone walks in, they might laugh at me, but guess what? I’ll feel a hell of a lot better afterward and the people who laugh at you are the ones who are trying to either: bring you down, don’t understand what you’re doing or want what you have! And just think, you can teach them what to do afterwards!
So, just do one thing to start, take out a piece of paper and a pen. Start out small, write 10 things that you are grateful for.
Write it like this:
“I like ______”
or
“I’m so happy and grateful that ____________”
Whichever is most comfortable for you. Then do what Zig Ziglar says, read it in the mirror, and for a week straight, write down 10 more things that you can be grateful for over the next week. Read these each day, notice how much your life changes!
