Three Steps to Develop a Positive Personality

John Torquato — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:38:12 +0000

If a person’s goal is to improve his personality, a big part of his efforts should be dedicated to developing a positive outlook. Thoughts, feelings, and behavior shape our personality and define how others see us. When we are constantly thinking negative thoughts, these would manifest in the way we carry ourselves. You see, when a person thinks negatively all the time, such negativity will be very apparent in the way he handles things and this does not help him at all in terms of improving his personality.

How can a person be “positive”? Here are three ways to do this.

Make a paradigm shift. A person who wants to make a big change must take a big leap. If you have been so used to your ordinary thinking patterns, you need to change it and make a fundamental change in your way of thinking, otherwise attaining a positive personality will just not be effective. Change your paradigm; take that step to changing the way you see people, things, and events in a more positive way and you will find that your personality will also change dramatically.
Surround yourself with the right people. The company you are with plays a big role in shaping your personality. You are who your friends are, or so the adage goes. Make sure you are with the right company- people who are happy, successful, and positive- their influence on you will be to your benefit. On the other hand, if you are always with people who complain, procrastinate, and who can never seem to make anything good out of themselves, then ultimately, you will become like them, too.
Make positive affirmations. Self-affirmation was a theory proposed by Claude Steele in 1988; it is designed to enable people to protect their image of themselves, a method to motivate and combat anything that aims to destroy our image. Self-affirmations are applicable to many situations however it is commonly used to help us pull through a break up, manage difficult relationships, and handle work-related stress. It is in these situations that we need to continuously encourage ourselves of our own self-worth- an invaluable tool to shield us from hurt and discouragement in the wake of emotional problems.

Having a positive personality can certainly help us in many ways. It helps to improve relationships, gain more friends, and will also contribute to getting more recognition in the workplace. A person with a positive outlook in life has better chances at success than those who are always complaining and nagging- who wants to work with these kinds of people, anyway?

If you want to improve your personality, start with being positive. This is not an easy feat especially if you have been so used to entertaining negative thoughts and being around negative people all the time. But if you can change your personality and become a positive person, you will see the difference that this will bring to you. Again, it is not easy but in the end, it will be worth it.Similar Posts:

Basically, a lot of people are living a life of a machine; they follow the usual setup in their lives. It is fine if somebody thinks that this is perfect for him, but that doesn’t mean they are truly living a life. We all have got one life, and it’s up to us, how better we can make it. To enjoy a better life and proving your existence on the planet, you should follow these steps.

Create a ritual for every morning

Exercise

It is important because the only healthy body can enjoy the sweetness of life. If you are fit and fine than only you can keep yourself on the path of personal growth and happiness.

Pause your life

In the fast moving life, we ignore all simple and small things which give pleasures to our lives. Enjoy the things you do, take a pleasure of what you read, take a taste of a meal you eat.

Get out of your cubical box

Don’t sit in front of your computer and T.V. set all day long. Give a break to your regular lifestyle, try something new. Go out for a movie with friends and have fun with them. Every minute you sit at home watching T.V. or surfing on an internet is just a waste of time, and time never returns. Make most of the spare time you find in life.

Excitement

We usually feel dull because we forget the meaning of excitement in life. Try to figure out the things in life that excite you, and you are passionate about, and go after them. Surprise yourself by doing childish things.Similar Posts:

Look at You The Right Way

John Torquato — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:43:20 +0000

Many of us are very much concerned about the opinions and thoughts of others. We try to make a good impression on others by pretending, lying and doing many things which we never wanted to do. While, looking at the mirror have you ever thought the things which you do and the thoughts and views that others have, do they really affect your life? No, they don’t, it’s you who make them affect you and your life.

In the words of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross:
“People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.”
People in your life are the mirror that reflects the inner soul of you. You can live a happy life by keeping yourself happy from inside. Have you ever looked at somebody’s house and said this is the kind of house you want. Beautiful houses are not only built by placing bricks over bricks, but by placing right bricks on the right design. Believe me, having a good life is exactly the same as building a beautiful dream house. You are the architect of your life. The things you think and do will reflect how better your life is shaping up. You can have a better life by thinking good, looking for good and doing exact those things which make you happy.

Make a promise to yourself.

You will always think positive about yourself.
You will always love yourself.
You will always do and choose the things which will help you to stay happy and help you to build a better life.

To your life, nothing else matters but you, yourself. You hold the power of control for leading a better life. You can’t deliver the best out of you until you have the best in you. And the best in you will only come through by feeling better for yourself. Your life will become easier and happier if you will always remember one thing: what are the things that make your life happier and what is good for you? Ask yourself now and start to live a happy and wonderful life.Similar Posts:
