Build Confidence Through A Positive Attitude

(Part 7 of 10)

How is this for a powerful statement? Attitudes are the emotional underpinnings of motivation. So, how do we utilize and tap into what this has to give when it comes to performance and excellence in life, personally, professionally, in all areas and aspects of the here and now and years to come?

Attitude, confidence, practice and aptitude are good companions to have on this journey we call life. How we perceive and judge what we see, experience and live through come together, synergize and combine to form our life attitudes (positive, negative, ambivalent, ever-changing, set in stone, it all depends).

Predisposition, affinity, approval, respect are all things that come to life through a positive attitude. Take interest and feel engaged, involved and hands-on with life is what it is all about.

We are needs-driven pretty much as human beings and the more we address these with a positive attitude the more lasting and quicker we will see change and not just for the sake of change, but real progress and substantial, significant altering, adjustments and accommodation. We want and have to understand, be in the loop, to decide, act, speak, contribute,  creating a special sense of community, acceptance and belonging, recognition, looking for positive experiences that build and lift us up, tapping into and inspiring our  enthusiasm. It is important to unearth and foster a sense of purpose and assess, track and celebrate progress to keep that positive attitude.  To foster a positive attitude and build confidence as well as competence focus on things like constructive feedback.

-    Emphasizing progress, seeing the positive in things
-    External achievement, recognition and reward does not really motive as much, you’re your own performance standards
-    Focus on competency building and mastery of skills
-    Most importantly for self and others are to remain positive putting the real importance on things like what has been accomplished and achieved to date, how far to go, how to practically get there and remain self-motivated and self-managing for success. You will pick the fruits of your labor and dedication in the form or individual performance gains in no time. It will become like second nature to you, without much effort.
-    Recognize rather all positive accomplishments, encourage yourself for more reflection and introspection, self-evaluation and self-correction.
