Self esteem and a positive attitude

by Carla Valencia

A positive attitude does not mean being superficial. Your attitude determine the way you cope with every day situations. To have a positive attitude is a sign of a good self esteem.

When you are interacting in negative environments it is hard to maintain a healthy self esteem . The tendency is that the environment will destroy your self esteem and pull you down. Do not let this happen to you. It is your choice.

How to have a positive attitude

I would suggest some tips to help you to mantain a positive attitude.

1. Others Behavior: Since you cannot control other's people negative behaviors or change them, just be away from them. Don't isolate from people who have a negative attitude. Manage your time with the right people.
   
   Instead of spending let's say ½ hour with negative, gossipers and whiners, spend just 5 minutes with them. Don't get hook in their negative thoughts just listen to them.Then, look for people that are positive and spend with them an hour. Their company will empower you . Listen and learn from them.



2. Always maintain a positive attitude toward a negative work environment: Try to do the best you can, don't overdue and then blame others because they won't help you. Instead of competing with others, try to be creative and be better than you were before. But always remember to take care of yourself. Skipping lunch, breaks , overwork and so on is negative for you. Its about being positive toward you and the way you balance your life.
3. Past Failures: Let go of the past. The past is gone; there is nothing you can do about negative past situations. Instead, if you made a mistake or you think that you failed, just learn the lesson, improve and move on.

Apply one or more of this tips to your daily life. Living this way will help you to improve your self esteem. The more you overcome life challenges the more you believe in yourself and change your view. It is hard to maintain a healthy self esteem when others around you are pulling you down.

Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you don't let other people spend it for you. - John Dryden
