the power of positive habits

Your attitude is the way that you feel about yourself, other
people, a situation or a circumstance. Napoleon Hill, the author of the
best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich, put it so eloquently when
he said, “The only thing over which you have complete right of
control at all times is your mental attitude. Right of control means that
you can control it, it does not mean that you do control it, you must learn
to exercise this right as a matter of habit.” Think about the power of that
statement and how it holds the key to building your positive attitude habits.

You have the right of control over your mental attitude. Here are a
couple of positive habits that will help you improve your self-esteem,
be happier and more motivated:

1. Make It a Habit to Engage in Random Acts of Kindness

If you want an instant prescription for feeling better, then make
it a habit to help another person for no reason at all.
Here are some examples:

* Open a door for someone.
* Let someone get ahead of you in line.
* Help an elderly person cross the street.
* Put money in another person’s parking meter.
* Call your favorite local charity and volunteer to help
* Donate money to a favorite charity.

2. Motivate Yourself With Daily Music Triggers

Make a list of the songs that you love the most; songs that make
you feel happy, joyous, excited, full of energy, and young at heart. Make a
tape or CD of these songs. Play these songs at a designated time, such as
on your way to or from work, or just when you want to be motivated.

As you listen to these songs, your mood will be elevated. Picture
yourself as succeeding in what is most important to you right now. Do this
over and over again. You will find that music triggers will automatically
motivate you and give you a feeling of power and well-being. I have been able to place
myself in a better mood on cue by playing songs that make me feel good.
