Do you have your journal handy? We’re going to follow-up on yesterday’s exercise.
Review your answers to the questions from yesterday. When you’ve done this, do you find your attitude is most negative in your personal or professional environment?
Once you’ve determined that, write down three specific ways you can choose to respond (remember, responding to something is thoughtful and intentional, rather than immediate and emotional) positively, instead, in those situations.
For greater accountability, make a copy of this list and share it with someone close to you. Ask that person to check in with you from time-to-time over the next month.
Remember, you can answer them anyway you like, but the proof is in the pudding, as they say…and if you aren’t actually doing what you say, it will be evident in your behaviors!
