Being unemployed or in a difficult situation at home or work can make it hard for us to keep positive all the time. Our attitude is infectious and we can pass on our positivity or drag others down if we are negative and pessamistic!
I’ve had this cold/flu bug lately and it occurred to me that it would be great if we could have a Lemsip or Benelyn for our attitude when it gets a bit run down!
So how do you build and keep a positive attitude that ensures your success? Just follow this Prescription,focus on a different skill each day and keep repeating the cycle until you’ve built an invincible attitude. It works!
Day 1: Fill your mind with positives.
Instead of living your life on autopilot, letting any and all thoughts come into your mind, consciously feed your mind positive input – start the day by repeating to yourself “I greet this day with love in my heart!”. Read inspirational books; listen to uplifting music, or call an upbeat person. And by all means, avoid the cynics and gripers.
Keep a “Book of Abundance notebook” and at the end of each day write down all the wonderful things that have happened. Include even small things... like enjoying your coffee or waking up alive! The more you pay attention to the good things in life, the more they will show up....we are just too blessed to be stressed!
Day 2: Affirm yourself.
To build a positive attitude you must remind yourself of you at your best, celebrate past victories. Congratulate yourself on the good you have done and will do. Refuse to let any self-doubt enter your mind. Just tell yourself over and over, "I am joyful, blessing, accepting loving and grateful” or “I am a strong, confident and competent person."
If you make a mistake, learn the lesson in that mistake and laugh at yourself... and affirm the fact you’re learning and growing.
Consciously feed yourself with positive affirmations. As boxing champ Sugar Ray Robinson said, "To be a champ, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will." And Dolly Parton added, "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know that I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde."
Day 3: Think only good things about people.
Don't allow ill thoughts to enter your mind. Look for something you like in everyone you meet. One person might have a great smile, and another one might be extremely dedicated to their work. You can always find something you like.
Remember to also edit your thoughts about yourself. Think only good thoughts about yourself – see yourself at your best and avoid the temptation to pick fault – try smiling in the mirror, see yourself as others see you!
Day 4: Speak only positive words.
In order to build and maintain a positive attitude, you must speak hopefully about everything -- your job, your customers, your manager, your employees, your children, your health, and your future. Go out of your way to talk optimistically about everything.
You may have to talk yourself out of uttering negative words. When you have a positive attitude, you refuse to use a loser’s language. If you talk like a loser, you’ll end up losing.
And Now The Challenge: Start Building a Positive Attitude Today.
Nothing... absolutely nothing... contributes more to your success than your attitude. The good news is you can have a powerful, positive attitude... if you keep repeating these 4 steps over and over it will work and you will succeed in whatever you do- it’s worked for thousands of people I have worked with..... Now it’s your turn.

CodePro program does the work for jobseekers
A software developer has launched a product aimed at job seekers, inspired by his own experience during a period of unemployment. Lionel Potter's Job Prospector is a desk top program which enables users to organise their job search activities.
The software enables people looking for work to catalogue job vacancies, applications, replies and contact names and numbers into a working database.
It aims to simplify a process which can become confused when dealing with numerous recruitment agency staff, tailoring CV's to be job-specific and keeping track of the latest opportunities.
Unable to secure work in IT following his redundancy, Mr. Potter, a former systems analyst from Exeter, took on night shifts as a security supervisor. In December 2008, he quit his job to work full-time on the new software, which he is now marketing through CodePro, the company that he established with his business partner and employment trainer, Julie Seddon.
"It was a big risk, but Lionel is passionate about creating software and wanted to develop something that was helpful to people, rather than the businesses themselves," Ms Seddon said.
"We are determined to get Job Prospector out to everyone who needs it to help them get back to work. We were both aware that seeking work really is a minefield. Even during normal economic times, job hunting is a gruelling and exhausting process. The current economic crisis and the shrinking job market make the process much harder and longer."
The software is being sold via the company's website, www.codepro.co.uk, and the firm is also in discussions with JobCentre Plus, the Connexions Service, A4e and the Shaw Trust to provide the £20 Job Prospector for their job-ready clients.
The company also has its sights on attracting corporate clients who might offer the software as part of their redundancy packages.
"Job Prospector also generates an activity report which can be printed by clients as proof of job searches while they are unemployed," Ms Seddon said. "The onus is very much on individuals to demonstrate that they are actively seeking work."
"Job Prospector is not a job search program - it is the first personal employment information management system to be available for individuals to download to their own PC and use to get an advantage."
CodePro is also providing free "how to" guides from its website to help users make the most of the software.
"The main attraction for job seekers is that Job Prospector is easy to use and enables them to get organised and save lots of time when dealing with all the different agencies and job sources they may be using," Ms Seddon said. "Just getting everything organised helps people to feel more confident and in control, and this can help them to make better applications and perform better at interview."
Mr. Potter is now developing a similar system, Job Prospector Plus, a career management program aimed at graduates and professionals.
