Seven Ways to Live a More Productive and Positive Lifestyle By Ryan C. Lowe

Doesn't it seem like every time you turn on the TV or get on
the computer, there is always more negative news that just
weighs you down. On top of that, you have your own personal
issues to deal with. This "negative storm" can cause someone
to feel stuck, lost and full of anxiety.
It is the fear of the unknown that builds up in our mind and
takes over like a dark cloud. This dark cloud follows us and
rains on us, making us negative in our personal and
professional lives.
As humans, we sometimes focus on the negative and stay under
that negative cloud that we created. We must understand that
we can walk from under this cloud at anytime, and we have
the power to make our days sunny and bright.
I am sharing with you 7 ways that I have found to be the
most effective when attempting to live a more productive and
positive lifestyle along with my Get off Your Attitude
Exercises (GOYA-cise) to get you moving.
1. Think Positive
Thinking Positive is probably the most important of the ways
that I can share with you, because you know that everything
starts in the mind. Thoughts turn into feelings, which then
turn into actions. If you tell yourself you can't do
something, you will ultimately find failure. If you tell
yourself you can do it, you have increased your chances of
accomplishing that goal. Keep your mind clear and your
thoughts positive. This way will bring great success to you
in your personal and professional life.
GOYA-cise: When a negative thought comes into your mind,
instantly swap it with a positive one. An example of this
would be thinking about a child's smile or someone you know.
This will keep the mind clear of any negative thoughts.
2. Get Around Positive People
Stay away from negative and pessimistic people. Surround
yourself with positive people, and you will be more
positive! This is a simple and crucial way in reaching a
positive lifestyle. Negative people can rob you of your
energy and your drive. We must learn to get around people
that are like minded, have goals and the ones that have
courage to go forward in life.
GOYA-cise: Think about someone that you respect and has the
positive traits that you want to possess. Try to meet with
that person frequently so that their positive attitude will
become part of you.
3. Read and Listen to Positive Information
One of the best ways to create a positive mindset is by
filling it with positive information. Too many times we get
our information from the wrong places. We get focused on the
negative news of the world and it bleeds into our
subconscious.
We need to learn to be careful on what we let into our mind.
To get out of the negative rut, we need to get in the habit
of picking up an inspirational book, find a positive article
on the web or just listen to a positive inspirational CD.
These positive items will open your mind, encourage,
inspire, and teach you how to create a positive mindset.
(Some of my favorite inspirational authors are Zig Ziglar,
Brian Tracy and Les Brown).
GOYA-cise: Put a Positive CD in your car, home stereo or in
at your office. Listen to it for the length of the car ride
or 30 minutes in your home or office. Try to implement that
one new positive idea that you learned into what you are
doing that particular day.
4. Focus on the Future
Too many of us dwell on our past and let it block our vision
of our future. We think about something disturbing that
happened to us or we think about something that someone has
told us that upset us, and we play it over and over like an
old movie reel. We need to break this bad habit and
visualize on what we want our future to be. The next time
your past is haunting you, instantly think about something
in your future. Write down your goals and create a vision
board. This way you can always focus and see the positive
things you want in life.
GOYA-cise: Make a list of all things that you want in life.
Go online and find it, print a picture of each item. Pin
them up on a board in your office or home where you can see
them. Look at this vision board daily and visualize yourself
possessing all of these items.
5. Plan Ahead
Using time efficiently helps to maintain a positive
attitude. The best way to do this is to plan your day and
your week ahead of time. We need to adopt this habit so that
we won't let procrastination take over and keep us from
reaching our goals.
The habit of planning and focusing on your priorities and
important tasks will help you accomplish more in less time.
This very act will keep your life in check and help you stay
on track towards your goals and let you know stay aware of
your accomplishments. GOYA-cise: Each day sit at your desk
for ten minutes and map out your next day. This exercise can
save two hours the next day.
6. Be Grateful
Take some time everyday to be grateful and thankful for
everything that you have in your life right now. It is easy
for us to focus on what we don't have or things we didn't
accomplish. Find these great things and recognize them. The
very thought of what you are grateful for will help you
maintain a positive attitude in your life. This habit is one
of the best ways to turn negative thinking into positive
thinking instantly.
GOYA-cise: Write down the top 10 things you are grateful for
and read them over at least 10 times daily!
7. Exercise More
Daily exercise will help you improve your mood, along with
helping to against stress and depression. This healthy way
of life will keep you living longer and living a healthier
lifestyle. Remember exercising will also make you feel
better about yourself. When you feel better about yourself,
it breeds confidence which will help you in your personal
and professional life.
GOYA-cise: Go for a 30 minute brisk walk on a treadmill or
around the neighborhood. This is a great exercise to create
positive thinking.
If you follow and implement these 7 life changing ways of
life daily, they will bring you the success and happiness
you desire. They will take you from underneath that dark
cloud of negativity and bring you out into the sunshine of a
positive lifestyle. Use the GOYA-cises to improve your
productivity and see the positive things like peace and
happiness that will come into your life.
