Ways to Keep Your Attitude Up When Life Tries to Bring You Down
Chris Widener
Keep your eye on the goal.
One of the biggest problems with trouble is that it gets your focus off where it should be. When racecar drivers get into trouble, they keep their eyes straight ahead and do not move them away. There is too much chance of wrecking otherwise. Instead, their eyes are on the goal—and this keeps them out of trouble.
If you find yourself getting down about circumstances, sit down and write out what your goal is, and give some thought to how you can achieve it. Make sure you’re keeping the important things important.
Focus on solutions, not problems.
“The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” the old saying goes. Negative circumstances don’t sit idly by—they scream for our attention. When we face difficult circumstances, we tend to dwell on them. We talk about them, fret about them and give them way too much attention.
Instead of talking about problems, talk about solutions. Instead of spending your time thinking about how bad things are, think about how good they will be! Don’t have family or staff meetings about the problems and how big they are; have meetings on the solutions and how you will implement them. Don’t let yourself or other team members complain; encourage them to solve, with an emphasis on the positive results that will come from doing so. Then take some time to put these solutions down on paper so you can monitor your progress.
Get some positive input.
The mind tends to build on itself, so when we begin to go in one direction (like worrying), it can be a slippery slope. One thing we must do is get our thoughts back on track with positive ideas.
When circumstances have you against the emotional wall, meet with a friend who can encourage you. Pick up a good book and read. Whatever external influence you can get to put your attitude back on the positive side of the tracks—do it! It must be one of our first goals to start plugging good things into our minds to power our attitudes.

Little Things You Can Do to Be Happier Right Now
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is an excellent mood booster when you've hit a slump," offers Reiki Master healer and sex and relationship coach Cara Kovacs. "Citrus scents wake you up, lavender or ylang ylang can soothe, and warm scents like vanilla or clove can make you feel warm and safe. Keep essential oils by your desk or in your purse, she suggests.
To get started, put a few drops on your palms, rub them together, and gently waft them over your face. This simple ritual is both calming and elevating. Plus, it makes you pause and luxuriate in a moment.
"Appreciating the present is one of the best ways to feel lighter and happier, says Kovacs."
Recite Affirmations
"Affirmations are statements or propositions that are declared to be true," explains author Shawngela Pierce, who studies naturopathic medicine.
Regarding the benefits, Pierce references a 2015 brain-imaging study published in the Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Journal, where scientists reviewed what happens in the brain when people practice self-affirmation. They found that participants who were affirmed showed increased activity in the region of the brain that processes self-worth and valuation.
One easy way to get in the daily habit of using affirmations is to come up with five aspirational sentences about yourself beginning with the words, "I am." For example, "I am living my best life," "I am loved," or "I am healthy." Then, repeat those statements aloud first thing in the morning and again before you go to sleep at night. This will boost your self-esteem and program your subconscious to think more positive thoughts.
Have more chocolate.
When it comes to your emotions, trust your gut. According to research from the California Institute of Technology, about 90 percent of your serotonin is produced in the gastrointestinal tract. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the brain that scientists refer to as the 'happy chemical' because it contributes to well-being.
"We are what we eat, and studies have shown that the connection between gut and brain greatly affect our mood," says Dixie Lincoln-Nichols, certified health and wellness coach and creator of Inside Outer Beauty Market. "Eat foods that increase happy feelings. Dark chocolate, for example, reduces the stress hormone cortisol. Protein-packed quinoa contains flavonoids, which are a group of plant chemicals found in fruits, veggies, grains, tea, and wine. Flavonoids have been said to have a calming effect."
