The Most Important Word - Starting With An A

Did you start your day with the A-word at the top of your mind?
No, not that word . . .?
The word I’m thinking of is ATTITUDE.?
Did you look at yourself in the mirror this morning and said
“Today is a good day!”
(a little bit like the Truman Show…)?
OR did you look at yourself in the mirror and . . . just wished you hadn’t?
So, let’s frame it a bit.
I guess you see where I'm going with this - yes, exactly we'll be talking about POSITIVE ATTITUDE.?
But we also need to at least mention NEGATIVE Attitude, and yep, we all know that we definitely don’t want to hang around a person with NEGATIVE ATTITUDE.?
Not even ourselves!?
But we also have MEDIOCRE ATTITUDE. Think about that one for a second (or two).?
What does a mediocre attitude mean?
It means that a person with MEDIOCRE ATTITUDE will remain exactly where they are, because they have in fact SETTLED.?
They are FINE with where they currently are.?
They might achieve a couple of goals; get a small raise, the bonus might be a tiny bit better - or at least not less - compared to the last bonus, they might do some more sales, gain a couple of new clients . . .
That’s what MEDIOCRE ATTITUDE means.?
It means.?
You’re okay. You know you could do better. But it’s okay.
But then think about what a POSITIVE ATTITUDE could mean instead.?
Let’s assume you start every day with:
Today is a GREAT day!?
And then you add a positive affirmation, for example:?
“I am so happy and grateful now that I have (INSERT YOUR NEXT SCARY GOAL - as if you’ve already achieved it!)!? I see it now. I attract everything I want. It is done and I love it!“?

Imagine starting your day like that.
Every. Single. Day.?
You see, there are A LOT of fantastic side effects to positive daily affirmations (according to a study published in 2016 by the Association for Psychological Science):
It might seem a bit woo woo, though. I know.?
But, even if it would be just woo, woo - what do you have to lose? Consider all of these positive side effects that you could easily gain by just looking at yourself in the mirror daily, talking NICELY to yourself, and affirming your goal achievements.
Quite a low hanging fruit if you ask me. . .?
Let’s try it out, shall we??
Straighten your back, put on your biggest smile and say “I am freaking awesome!”
It sure does give you a confidence boost doesn’t it??
(if you’re in the office, or currently in the train while reading this, you can just think it, it might save you some strange looks from your neighbors - but you need to straighten your back and smile. Those are non-negotiables!)
So, regardless of whether you did start your day with a POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or MEDIOCRE ATTITUDE - the question now is, SO, what do you think NOW, and how will you start your day tomorrow??
Let me know how it goes!?
