The Positive Attitude are a very powerful thing in your life, belief me I have done it and I believe that everybody can do it too. I have suggest the following tip to for you to consider as the first step to go toward the positive attitude.

What people really want in life is to change one of two things: either the way they feel about something (e.g., to move from being frustrated to confident, from sad to happy, from depressed to emotionally strong) or they want to change a behavior (e.g., to stop smoking or drinking, to start taking massive action, to exercise and enjoy it, to follow through on their commitments). But the only reason we want to change our behaviors is we're hoping that if we lose that weight, stop procrastinating, take that action, we'll feel good. Everything human beings do is merely an attempt to change the way they feel, to "change state."

Moment to moment, what we do is powerfully shaped by the state we re in. When we're in a frustrated state, we tend to behave very differently than when we're feeling confident or excited or determined. One of the most important things we can do to create the power, joy, and passion we really want in our lives is to learn to manage our states of mind.

You can do this immediately through two primary vehicles, the first of which is physiology.

1. You can change how you feel instantly by changing the way you move, breathe, use your facial expressions, or make any new demand on your body.

2. The state you're in determines your behavior and also your performance. If you want to change your performance in anything-business, sports, relationships, etc.-the first thing to do is to change your state. In any situation, if you put yourself in a peak state you will be able to utilize more of your true capabilities in life.

3. Remember, you're always responsible for your own states. After the next few days of learning, you won't just be responsible; you'll know how to quickly and easily change how you feel about virtually anything and move yourself into peak performance at will.

Here's how to use your physiology to manage your state.

1. Move your body differently, and develop some "power moves": deliberate, strong, unhesitating movements that give you an immediate sense of certainty. You can also use your voice to put yourself in a peak state. Speak stronger, more rapidly, with a bit more volume from deeper in your chest than you usually d0.

2. Changing your breathing can immediately change your state. Deep, diaphragmatic breaths create radically different emotional states than shallow breathing that begins in the upper chest.

3. Radical changes in facial expressions will immediately change the way you feel.

4. Changing elements of your diet can maximize your health and energy.

5. All of these put together can make significant changes in the patterns of the emotional states you experience day to day.

A second way to manage your states, in addition to using your physiology, is to control and direct the focus of your mind.

1. The way you feel and what you experience in your body comes from what you focus your attention upon during a given moment.

2. At any moment, you are "deleting" most of what is going on aroundyou. That is, to feel bad, you have to delete (not focus on, not think about) everything that's great in your life. And vice versa. For you tofeel good, you have to delete the things you could feel bad about. This process of deleting is an important part of how the mind maintains the balance in one's emotional state. Undirected, however, it can wreak havoc in your day-to-day experience.

To manage your states, there are two things you can control with respect to focus. When you change either of these, you immediately change how you feel.

1. What you're picturing in your mind

2. How you're picturing it, (e.g., dimension, brightness of mental pictures, etc.)

At this moment, how you're evaluating things determines what you focus on.

1. Evaluations are nothing but questions you ask yourself.

2. Your state-and ultimately, your life-are the result of the questions you ask.

To manage your states via focus, you must control the questions you ask yourself.

1. Eliminate limiting, "endless loop" questions.

2. Continually ask yourself questions that empower you.
