Today all over the world mental health is being recognized as the well-being of the intellectual and emotional parts of the mind. One important part of our minds is positive attitude, where this trait is self-developed.
Positive attitude can help each of us do the following: 1. Deal with stress (like for example "working amidst crisis scenarios" for professionals, or “examinations” and “for challenging peer group exercises” in the life of students) 2. Cope up with concerning situations 3. Improve our thinking and problem-solving ability 4. Boost our self-esteem and self-confidence (which together form our “self-image”) 5. Achieve our inner potential
What is the importance of a positive mindset or attitude? 1. A positive attitude helps us remain in better control of difficult situations 2. It helps us rethink our thoughts and focus on problem solving. It prevents us from being extremely affected by a negative situation. 3. A positive attitude is an important part of personality development which in turn helps us achieve more success in our personal and professional lives. 4. A positive attitude helps us make more friends and improves our rapport with people. 5. Maintaining an Event or Incidence tabulation can help us understand whether our mindset & attitude is positive or negative. It can help us review the need to show better focus and control.
How can a person improve his or her mindset or attitude? 1. Make a list of strengths and weaknesses 2. Make a list of achievements that improved your energy levels 3. Look at all failures from an objective point of view (practice the SOAR technique to do this) 4. Set yourself goals that are short term, long term, life based, interests based). Maintain a Planner for the remaining years of one's relative social
or economic involvements 5. Believe in yourself (it is important to mention one organization called “Mouth and Foot Painting Artists Association, Mumbai” where differently able children and adults use only their mouth and foot to draw and paint art that is marketed. This is an example of how willpower and commitment can help one succeed).
The SOAR technique
1. S – Stop thinking negative thoughts but sit in silence to re-energize your
self
2. O – Observe what your feelings are doing to your mind and body
3. A – Accept whatever has happened or is happening in an objective sense
(focus on what to do next)
4. R – Relax and let go of your strong concern for the problem. Become more
objective and results oriented.
