Journal work
Answer these questions fully in your journal: How well is my present attitude serving me? (Am I getting
what I want?)
Am I happy with the response I get from people?
What do I believe about myself? How can I prove this to
myself?
What are my expectations about what life offers me?
Where do I need to make changes?
What resources are available to help me make changes to my
attitude?
What three beliefs could I adopt to help develop the right
attitude?“Our attitude toward life
determines life's attitude towards us.”
John N. MitchellCultivate new beliefs to support the right mental attitude. These may include:
I have the resources to achieve success.
I can!
I see what’s right and good and will build on this.Once you’ve decided on a new belief, you need to make it stick. Think of your belief
like a table. You need to give the table four legs so that it is strong and stable. You
give this belief legs by finding four behaviours that support it. It’s a little upside
down, but it works! If you sincerely believed this statement, how would your
behaviour be different? Adopt these four behaviours and stick to them for a month.
The belief will become embedded in your unconscious.
For instance: let’s say you want to believe the thought, “I have the resources to
achieve success.” If you really believed you had all the resources you needed, how
would you behave?
