Harness the Power of a Healthy Attitude

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”  ~Winston Churchill

Have you ever had someone say to you, “Change your attitude?” I find myself saying it frequently to my teenagers, and they look at me like I’ve asked them to morph into an alien. Bad attitude and teenagers go together like white on rice.
In spite of their age-appropriate resistance to a healthy attitude, I remind them that attitude is a choice. Regardless of your life circumstances, you always have to power to change your attitude. And what a power that is.  Mind Secret Exposed
Your attitude is your disposition, your way of thinking, and the feelings that go along with those. A healthy attitude is characterized by a general sense of well-being and equanimity about life. You view the glass as half full rather than half empty. With a healthy attitude, you can respond to your life circumstances with balance, positivity, and control.
Why do we encounter some people, full-grown adults, with a healthy and positive attitude about life and others who always seem to complain and focus on the negative? It’s true that one’s natural personality and disposition can affect attitude. Certainly life circumstances and unpleasant situations can affect it. But those things don’t have to determine one’s attitude.

A healthy attitude begins with awareness which is the precursor to choice.

When you become aware that you have the power to choose your attitude, regardless of life circumstances, then you have the power to change the entire tenor of your life. Attitude is also a habit, a habit that can be changed once we have the awareness of choice.
Take a moment now to ask yourself these questions:

• What is my general attitude most of the time?

• What do my friends and family say about my attitude?

• What situations or circumstances shift my attitude negatively?

• What situations or circumstances shift it positively?

• Do I frequently shift back and forth between a positive and negative attitude?

• In the past, how have I felt when I’ve chosen to have a healthy attitude?

It is important to examine your “attitude state” on a regular basis. Sometimes we unknowingly fall into patterns of negativity that can diminish our sense of well-being and joy for life. Maintaining a healthy attitude is vital for many reasons:
A healthy attitude keeps you physically and mentally healthy.
When you have a generally positive and balanced attitude you are less prone to stress, anxiety, and depression. You are also more likely to want to take care of yourself, eat healthy, and stay fit.
A healthy attitude enhances relationships.
Your attitude can either attract or repel people. A healthy attitude  is very attractive. People desire to associate with others who are generally upbeat, balanced, and not prone to frequent complaining or negativity. This doesn’t mean you must be happy all of the time. It means you regularly return back to the awareness and choice of seeing the glass half full.
A healthy attitude creates opportunity.
When your attitude is healthy, you are in a frame of mind to recognize opportunity and act on it. Your awareness is open and positive. When you have a bad attitude, you shut things out of your life. You are closed and resistant.
A healthy attitude fosters discernment, objectivity, and clear thinking.
When you are in a generally positive frame of mind, you have the ability to handle life’s difficulties with more brain power. You aren’t distracted by the cloud of negative thinking and feeling. Your mind is clear and able to discern the best actions and decisions in any situation.
A healthy attitude promotes learning. Mind Secret Exposed
Again, with a clear and receptive mind, you are more engaged in life. You are curious and interested in the world around you. Your mind and psyche are open to learning new ideas and behaviors. And accomplishment in these endeavors further promotes your healthy attitude. This is a way of building the habit of positivity.
A healthy attitude makes you appear more attractive.
When you are in a negative frame of mind, it shows on your face. It takes a tolls on your body. The most physically attractive people are those who are comfortable and content in their own skin, regardless of the traditional standard of physical beauty. Positivity shines from the inside out.
If your attitude needs a bit of repair work, try these ten steps:
1. Take a moment to evaluate your attitude. Ask yourself the questions outlined above.
2.  Ask for feedback on your attitude from someone who knows you well. Like having spinach in your teeth, it isn’t pleasant to have it pointed out, but you don’t want to walk around with it forever.
3. Challenge negative thinking. When you get in a cycle of negativity, turn the tables on yourself and challenge the thoughts with evidence to the contrary. Just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s totally true. Once you change your thinking, your feelings will follow.
4. Seek the good in the bad. Even when times are difficult or challenging situations arise, there is always something to be learned and gained from the situation. Take time to focus on that.
5. Let it go. Most things really aren’t worth worrying about. Make the effort to drop old resentments, anger, and frustrations. Work to forgive people who have hurt you.
6. Stop comparing yourself. This only breeds contempt, jealousy, and frustration which define a bad attitude. There will always be people in better and worse situations than yours. And if you want to improve your life, a healthy attitude fosters achievement.
7. Seek out the beauty and good all around you. Let the wonderful things in life rise to the forefront of your daily perception. Look for them everywhere, in the beauty of nature, the smile of a child, the taste of a good meal, the warmth of friendship. When you seek these things out, there isn’t much room for negativity.
8. Make life corrections where you can. If there are circumstances or events that consistently bring you down and effect your attitude, find a way to address these things. Don’t just accept them or tolerate them. They drain your energy and rob you of joy that you otherwise might be experiencing. Don’t settle. Ask for help from a coach or counselor if you need help.
9. Create accountability. Commit to a healthy attitude and back up your commitment by asking friends or family to hold you accountable with gentle reminders when they see an unhealthy attitude.
10. Begin each day with a choice. When you wake up, say to yourself or out loud if possible, “I choose a healthy attitude today.” Say it throughout the day or post it where you can see the words frequently. It is your choice in every minute.
A healthy attitude doesn’t happen by itself.  Creating a healthy attitude requires consistent commitment, a plan of action, a support system, and lots of practice. Over the next week, pay attention to your own thoughts, reactions, and feeling, and see how you can begin small changes that will harness the life-changing power of a healthy attitude.

Agatha Christie's Hypnotic Writing Secret

Did mystery novelist Agatha Christie
literally hypnotize her readers?

Scientists from three leading universities
studied 80 of the famed novelist's works and
discovered she used words that invoked
chemical responses in the brains of her readers.

The study - The Agatha Project - involved
loading Christie's novels into a computer
and analyzing her words, phrases and sentences.

They concluded that her phrases trigger a
pleasure response. This causes people to
seek out her books again and again, almost
like an addiction.

According to the study, Christie used literary
techniques mirroring those employed by
hypnotherapists and psychologists, which
have a hypnotic effect on readers.

This is clear evidence that the principles in my
Hypnotic Writing book, and in my Hypnotic
Writing Wizard software, truly work.

Deliberate Creation Instant Self-Hypnosis

The study found that common phrases used by
Christie act as a trigger to raise levels of
serotonin and endorphins, the chemical
messengers in the brain that induce pleasure.

I've been saying this for years. Certain words
and phrases push buttons unconsciously in
people. They respond without being aware of it.

I've been teaching people how to improve their
sales letters and website copy with these
very insights.

Apparently Agatha Christie used hypnotic writing
to make her books -- as one scientist
un-hypnotically said --  "unputdownable."

It sure worked for her.

Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, (1890-1976)
is possibly the world's best-known mystery
writer. The Guinness Book of Records listed her
as the best-selling fiction author of all time
with over two billion copies in the English
language.

Obviously, hypnotic writing helped her.

The study went on to report the following about
Agatha's writings --

Favorite words or phrases, repeatedly used in a
"mesmerizing" way, help stimulate the pleasure-
inducing side of the brain. They include "she,
yes, girl, kind, smiled" and "suddenly."

Again, to me, this isn't news.

There are similar words and phrases in marketing
that set off brain activity -- and later buying
activity.

Do you know what they are?

Probably not.

Few people do.

But they are revealed in my e-books and software.

My hypnotic writing software -- which can help you
write sales letters, articles, books, news
releases and much more -- now comes in two
Windows (not for Mac) versions:

#1. The Basic one gives you all the tools you
need to write letters, ads, books, talks, etc.
It comes with the formulas, inductions, tools,
headline generator, readability analyzer,
unconscious directed writing, etc. You could
become a hypnotic writer with just this alone.
It's that powerful.

#2. The Deluxe version comes with all the
basic tools but includes the famous Swipe
File, containing proven words, phrases,
sentences, closers, etc, which you can just
weave into your writing to make it much
more compelling. This is beyond powerful.
You simply copy and paste -- "swipe" --
the proven sentences that improve your
writing. This is almost too easy.

The Swipe File has been and still is my secret
weapon in writing my emails, sites, articles, and
books with such speed and power. I love it and
*always* use it. Obviously, it works. Again, it
comes with the Deluxe version.

I'm very excited about Hypnotic Writing Wizard.
This program is based on my first best-selling
e-books, Hypnotic Writing and Advanced Hypnotic
Writing (and includes them for easy reference).

While the software won't do your writing or
thinking for you, it *will* guide you to writing
with more ease and power. The hypnotic inductions
and other tools will stimulate your mind to come
up with fresh ways to express yourself with
persuasive power.

If you want to give yourself the best gift of the
year, get Hypnotic Writing Wizard and start to
write with the simple riveting power of one of the
bestselling novelists of our time - Agatha
Christie.
