Episode Notes

Attitude: how your mindset is reflected and manifested in your personality and what you physically do

• Attitudes can be positive, negative, and uncertain

Your attitude determines how you react with the world. It’s external.

• Ruled by your conscious mind and is the 5% that your 95% mindset sets in motion 
• Determined by watching actions
• Attitudes can be “faked” or “feigned”

First, get clear about your attitudes

• Stop comparing yourself out loud or showing evidence of it outright
  • Recognize you and everyone else is unique and different…and should be!
  • Develop your own set of standards of what good character is so you aren’t using someone else’s measuring stick
  • But also, surround yourself with people with positive attitudes
• Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, financially, sexually…
  • Internal dialogue becomes external behavior
  • If you don’t feel cared for, it’s hard to care for others in the world
  • You can’t pour from an empty cup
  • Find what fulfills you and do it regularly…not when you’ve run out of steam and are in crisis
• Build up your self-confidence and look like it
  • Tell yourself how amazing you are for what you’ve already accomplished (write yourself love notes, don’t take opportunities to belittle yourself, etc.)
  • Keep yourself motivated so you can keep going when it’s hard to accomplish difficult tasks (ask yourself for help when you need it, be unwilling to let yourself down)
• Believe in yourself
  • If you don’t, who will?
• Laugh…often
  • If you spend time laughing, you won’t spend time frowning
• Permit yourself to be loved
  • Stop sabotaging your relationships because you’ve told yourself you’re unworthy
  • Open yourself to the possibility of it…everywhere
  • Act like a person who is loved instead of the person who has been wounded
