BENEFIT OF HAVING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

 A positive attitude is not just about sporting that smile on your face every time, it is more than that. It is about maintaining that optimistic mindset and attitude even when things are in utter chaos. It is often said that what good or bad diet does to your body, positive and negative thoughts do the same to your mind! Feed your mind with positive thoughts and you will see amazing changes around you.

When you start thinking optimistically, your mind becomes clear of any negative thoughts and you will see the world in a new light. You will stop blaming yourself or others. You will be in total control of your emotions and try to seek a valuable lesson in every setback you experience.

Here are a few more reasons why should develop a positive attitude in life:

Happiness: A positive attitude is known to be linked with the feeling of happiness. Happiness is a state of mind; it comes from within and not dependent on external factors. When you think positively, you will be in harmony and feel happy. To put it simply, with a positive attitude, you can be happy right now … irrespective of any situations you are in.

Self-confidence: When you develop a positive attitude, you will start feeling better about yourself. You will treat yourself with more respect and love, and this in turn will boost your confidence levels and inner strength. You will take on new challenges and come out of your self-limiting beliefs.

Stronger immune system: People with a positive attitude are lively, energetic and healthy. Positive thinking renders a positive effect on health as well; it lowers stress and improves your overall wellbeing. Even when you fall sick, your body recuperates faster.

More focused: With positive thinking, you achieve emotional balance, which actually helps the brain to execute functions properly. You learn to stay focused and as a result, you can come up with the right decisions in challenging situations.

Training your mind to develop positive attitude: Repeating positive affirmations is a great way to train your mind to think positively. Reading inspirational and motivational quotes on a daily basis will help you overcome negative thoughts and instill a sense of optimism in you.

When any unpleasant event occurs, approach it with a positive mindset and try to learn an optimistic lesson out of it.

Remember, your thoughts determine your feelings and actions. So whenever any negative thought comes to your mind, immediately replace it with a positive one. Even if you are in a dire state of affairs, a positive mindset will help you sail through the difficult phase easily.

Moreso, you could  talk to your Creator and have Him reply you. The day before, I received my 2nd  'alawee' and after I had purchased all the things on my list, my account was reading 'minus' you could imagine my how pained I felt.

I got to CDS the day after and the Lord was still speaking. Corp members were told to tell their tribal name, it's meaning and how it applied to their lives. When it got to my turn, I said out my name 'Eghonghon' meaning Happiness in Esan. "But you don't look happy." The moderator point out. "It's just today, I am normally happy" I quickly defended myself.It was obvious that I wasn't happy. It was written all over me. what an irony!

The Lord was not done yet. I was told to write on a topic ; "Benefit of Positive Thinking"......your guess is as good as mine. The topic was also speaking to me. Oh how I exclaimed! Lord, what are you doing to me? 

By evening, it was clear that these happenings were not coincidences. The topic of the service that night was " Casting All Your Cares Upon God". There and then I became very sure the  Lord was speaking to me. I was greatly encouraged, began to think positively and yes,I began to feel a whole lot better!

Resolve to be cheerful, no matter how the situation is. If things are not working in your favour, instead of fretting, work towards your goals with a positive attitude and you will see amazing results soon!
