Your Attitude Impacts Your Happiness! | San Francisco Womens Journal

Take a Walk on the Bright Side!

Put on your sunglasses…it’s time to take a walk on the bright side! What you think, feel and how you react to all of your life events determine your enjoyment or lack of it in your life.

This seemingly simple statement is actually an exciting way each of us can make small changes every day that cumulatively, will absolutely change your life for the better!

What Happens When You Run Into a Detour?

How do you react when you run into snags, detours or “situations”, (which usually means the outcome, no matter how temporary, is not to your liking)? What are the first things that cross your mind when things don’t go exactly as planned?

This momentary view into your own pattern of thinking can be one of the most revealing insights into how well you deal with life. It also gives insight into whether you are more of a pessimist or an optimist.

Take a step back and notice, just notice, what your thoughts are when you start to feel uneasy in any way.

“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.” Jim Rohn

Your Attitude Determines Your Life

You cannot control the situation or the happenstance of everything, but you can control your attitude towards it. And that attitude will greatly determine how you feel about a situation and cumulatively…your life!

Knowing that, aren’t you excited that you can immediately increase the quality and joy of your life just by changing what you think?

Easier said than done! Never the less, well worth the effort.

Have you ever spent time with a person who is just filled with joy, light and love? One who doesn’t get rattled by the minor incidents that sometimes cause other people to completely lose it?

These people have found a way to understand that feeling good is all that matters and when you think thoughts that make you feel good … you feel good. You feel as if you are taking a walk down a wooded path in the middle of spring and the flowers are all blooming and the air smells so sweet… and you have nowhere else to be but right here right now! You feel like everything is well.

Start Today and Improve Your Life

That’s a nice feeling and one that you can achieve also, starting today! All you need to do is look inward and see if your thoughts make you feel good about what’s happening or not. And if not, then choose to improve your situation by shifting your thoughts and attitude so that you can see the situation in a different light…one that makes you feel good.
