- Capitalize
on success. Catch people doing things right instead of doing things
wrong.
-
Use positive communication. "I really like the way…" Show gratitude
and appreciation for others.
- Apply
"self talk" by using affirmations. "I love and accept myself."
- Create
mindsets. Avoid making up excuses rationalizing reasons for failure
or mistakes. Instead, "reframe" things in a positive way (i.e. "Don't
slam the door" is changed to "Please close the door quietly.")
- Focus
on altruism. Allow people to do things for others and feel good about
it.
- Value
and acknowledge others. Recognize all types of people. Accept others
for who they are instead of what they do. Reach out to people.
- Avoid
expecting too much of others. Be self-responsible. Do not expect the
world to be warm and safe.
- Relieve
boredom by creating variety in life. Do new and different meaningful
things/experiences.
- Take
control of your life. Write your own script.
- Realize
that people in crisis want consultation not explanation. Avoid asking
"why", instead ask "What am I going to do about it?" Reassure others
you sympathize in their path: "I feel sorry and bad for you!"
- Confront
yourself to accept "change" as a necessary challenge.
- Eliminate
fears of failure and success. Do what you believe is best for you.
