Think back to a time when you woke up late because your alarm clock did not go off when it was supposed to. You found yourself rushing around, dropping things or not finding things where they should be. The more frustrated you became the more obstacles you encountered. This was the start of a "bad" day and it did not stop there. You seem to hit every red light on the way to work, there were no close parking spots and it started raining. Of course, your umbrella was at home right by the front door, but you were in such a hurry you forgot it. Your day has started so badly, you can't imagine it getting any better. Granted, that is not the ideal way to start the day. But the more focus that is placed on the negative events surrounding you, the more negative situations you attract.
You always have a decision about how you will react to a situation and what actions you will take in response. So what if you are late to work. Unless you have made a serious habit of being late, what is the worst that can happen? Take whatever grief you get and take control of the rest of your day. Tell yourself that this will be a productive day even if you are getting started just a little later than you anticipated. Positive attitude attracts positive responses from others as well. Attitude is contagious.
Something proactive that can be done to help you maintain a positive outlook despite any negative activities or attitudes surrounding you is to use affirmations. An affirmation is a positive statement about yourself or a declaration about your future as if it is already true. This is also known as the law of attraction. The more you see yourself in a positive light, successful in everything you do, already possessing everything you could ever want, living the life you have always dreamed of, the more likely that you will attract these things. This does not mean you can close your eyes, twitch your nose and wish things into existence. But by using the power of affirmations, you are much more likely to attract the things you desire than if you wallow in pessimism and self pity.
Post affirmations on your bathroom mirror - "I will have a productive and energized day today." Post affirmations in your car - "It feels great driving the car of my dreams everyday." And post affirmations in your most occupies spaces -at your desk at work, in your kitchen, wherever you spend the most time each day - "Money comes easily and frequently." You may not know exactly how these things will come to be, but the more you think in this way the more likely these things will happen. Positive thinking breeds positive outcome. It is never to late to start, so why not start today?!
