What are the best ways to maintain a positive attitude in the field?

To maintain a positive attitude, in my view, it's important to have awareness of the situation, conscious decisions and the ability to remain calm. Knowing what we would like to achieve at that particular moment is also key. Take a moment, and always ask, "am I okay with this?". Be comfortable. If we are not comfortable, it can be challenging to remain positive. Always do the right thing! When things are right, it's always easy to extend our positivity and bring more value.

Sometimes we are stopped on the field, unable to find a solution or a path ahead. In such cases, we begin to consider alternatives and potential solutions to the problem. And sometimes it becomes worse, so we stop thinking about a real answer and start working on anything else, wasting our time, energy, and thoughts. My only way of dealing with such issues is to always take the solution-finding approach. Don't get distracted by other things and lose sight of the solution. Reminding ourselves of why we are doing what we are doing. Always do some pre-work before going out on the field. Every day, evaluate yourself. Keep going! Nothing is impossible. Try to fix it on the same day.

In my view and experience, it is imperative that the organisations vision and focus areas are communicated clearly to enable realistic goal setting.

As an IT engineering student, I've learned that setting realistic goals is key to staying positive. Take coding challenges, for instance – breaking them into smaller, achievable goals makes the process more manageable. It's not just about setting goals; it's about mastering the skills to achieve them. Seeking feedback actively has been a game-changer for me. In group projects, I promote open communication, encouraging team members to share ideas and contribute to the code. Receiving constructive feedback is crucial for improvement; it's how we grow without hesitation. In the end, I believe in the power of knowledge-sharing. It's a simple truth: knowledge grows by sharing and contributing to a positive and collaborative environment.

Maintaining a positive attitude in the field requires a combination of self-care, a resilient mindset, supportive relationships, continuous learning, and effective stress management.

One of my favorite tools (mini chapters) in my book is "Do what you CAN do.". When we focus on what we can do we open up, spiral up, and side-step that feeling of being stuck. When we focus on what we CAN NOT do, we spiral down, get stuck, and procrastinate. So if you do not have a lot of time, or resources, or bandwidth, take a breath, pause, than ask: "What CAN I do?". Start there and then you will likely find another step, then another one, and so on!

Another factor that affects your attitude is how you approach problems and challenges. If you focus on the negative aspects, such as what went wrong, who is to blame, or how difficult the situation is, you may feel angry, anxious, or helpless. On the other hand, if you focus on the positive aspects, such as what you can do, what you can learn, or how you can improve, you can feel confident, curious, and empowered. Focusing on solutions can also help you develop your skills, creativity, and resilience.

>First analyse the problem >Then look into the solution >Find out as much of possible solution that can solve the problem >Look into the aftereffect of each and every solution >Choose the best solution which is convenient and efficient This is my method of problem solving. Note that every problem has it's own reaction. Focus on how to solve the problem effectively .But always keep in mind about the negative side .

One of the best ways to maintain a positive attitude in any field is to focus on solutions rather than problems. Instead of dwelling on the challenges and obstacles that come your way, shift your focus to finding solutions and taking action. This proactive approach can help you stay motivated and optimistic, even when faced with adversity. By actively seeking out and implementing solutions, you can maintain a positive mindset and keep moving forward in your field. Remember that every problem has a solution, and by focusing on finding it, you can maintain a positive attitude and achieve success.

One thing I found useful was to be open and honest as to what is happening whether it is good or bad. Transparency is key. Ask your team if they have ideas or have possible solutions. Go to your clients and ask them what they need us to improve

Some of the most successful people I've coached were avid 'feedback seekers.' Rather than seeing feedback as a threat, they saw it as an opportunity to stretch, learn, and grow. It may not feel comfortable at first, but try it out. Ask people for feedback -- i.e. your boss, or a colleague. Frame it within a positive aspiration, e.g. "I'm wanting to grow and learn and be the best I can. Can you please share any feedback for me that would be helpful?". You can also frame it in a way that helps people support you. Ask them: "What should I keep doing (i.e. a strength)? What should I do less of or stop doing? And anything else?" It takes courage to ask for feedback but the pay-offs can be big with career growth, and a better version of you.

Be a critic from the beginning. If you're new to a group or company , you have to criticize and send out your feedback and provide the support from the day one. It will definitely help you to built your potential and growth.

In my experience you must take a few moment each day to acknowledge, appreciate and recognise the things you have, the people in your life, those who help you. Say thank you to life, to God, to your parents, to your colleagues, and any other person who have helped to be where you are today. Gratitude is humility, and humility is the source of positivity.

I work in payroll. And our department although very important but also the most thankless jobs to have I make sure that I give gratitude to my team by thanking them for their efforts, long hours and sacrifices. Reminding them that I have their backs

I practice what I preach (or coach:). I take a few minutes daily to reflect on prompts such as: "What went well?", "What am I grateful for?", "What was good today?" And even "What was the good in the bad (of a situation)?" The habit of gratitude builds resilience, optimism, and hopefulness. Our brains tend to default to the negative so we have to be more intentional in directing our intention to the good. Gratitude practises and journaling can help rewire the brain to be more receptive to the positive. Go on, try it for a week and see what happens!

I would recommend writing a gratitude journal. This is easy on days when everything is going according to plan, but very powerful on days when things are not. Simply jot down a list of things, blessings, people around you, situations, etc. that you are thankful for. There will always be something to be thankful for! Let the list surprise you (so in other words, surprise yourself!) how much there is to be thankful for on even one of those "shitty days"... A few minutes of journaling will be all it takes.

Here is one way I have found to be useful in maintaining a positive attitude: Taking in the "good" Whenever you feel moved to negativity, choose a recent event and immerse yourself in that situation, using all your senses. It might be a nice vacation memory: Maybe a nice walk on the beach... How did you feel during that walk? How did the wind and the sun feel on your skin? The more details you dive into, the greater the positive effect you can get from this practice. The more you repeat this, the more you can use this technique to ground yourself in very stressful situations and to stay positive and optimistic in the long run.

Health care is must . Maintain good health routine daily , it make you feel fresh and energized. Follow body care routine and drink lots of water daily.

I so agree with this! I would remember how I wouldn’t eat and just drink coffee all day. - you should go to bed at 10pm - wake up at 6am,… totaling eight hours of sleep. - spend 45 min to EAT, RELAX, COFFEE. -At 6:45am get your workstation ready. - at 7 you should be perfectly ready to immediately start work. -make sure to pre-make your lunches!

The best way to have a positive mindset in your career life, is to begin with one in your home life and making sure your house is order. You have to lead a healthy life and have your affairs in order to succeed in this field. Because we travel. If you have an unhealthy relationship with your significant other for example, and then have a project 1,000 miles away, it’s not possible to disconnect between home and work. Those issues get packed up with you and join you at work. So focus on making sure your own house is in order first, after that, it’s amazing how easy work can be at its most difficult. We’re not on earth to just be engineers. All this career stuff is secondary to your real home life. Get it in order.
