This one is the most important essential of the 5. So many negative things come our way day in and day out. It is easy to fall into that negative attitude. I don’t feel like working out, i don’t have time to spend alone, It takes too much time to make healthy meals, I am sick of all my friends. See how easy it is to fall to negativity!! The fact is a negative attitude can ruin everything in your life.
Try this tactic: if a negative thing upsets you try replacing it with one positive thing. Let’s say for example you lost a sale today at your job, one that you were really counting on. Replace that with, well I have an appointment with someone next week I will make that sale. See negative things build on each other and it becomes a snow ball effect. Try to rise above that and keep a positive attitude towards everything.
I will guarantee this: for every one negative thing that happens to you there is a way to replace that with a positive. Do some research on motivational speakers like Tony Robbins or Brian Tracy. These guys keep your mind on the right track. They show you how to train yourself to think positive all the time.
I didn’t mean for this month’s Volt’s corner to be such a long article but I think it is important for people to have BALANCE. Try these 5 essentials together and you will see a drastic change in your life. If you feel weak in one of these five areas, step outside yourself and work on improving it. Once you have this BALANCE in your life you will feel much better about who you are and accomplish things you never thought possible.
Good Luck and Good Training. See you in class,
Mike “The Volt” Vaughn
