A Positive Attitude: Improving A Bad Day In 7 Simple Steps By Merv Stevens on September 26th, 2013

Here’s a great blog post from Geoffrey James, a writer at Inc.com. It will appeal to those of us who may be going through a difficult time in our business or our job. The best thing about this post is that it’s short and to-the-point, but is packed full of valuable information that can be put into action straight away.

“Don’t let a bad morning ruin your entire day. Use these mental tricks to change your momentum. Had a lousy morning? Things looking grim? Not to worry. The rest of your day need not be a disaster. It can in fact become one of your best, providing you take these simple steps: 1. Remember that the past does not equal the future. There is no such thing as a “run of bad luck.” The reason people believe such nonsense is that the human brain creates patterns out of random events and remembers the events that fit the pattern. 2. Refuse to make self-fulfilling prophesies. If you believe the rest of your day will be as challenging as what’s already happened, then rest assured: You’ll end up doing something (or saying) something that will make sure that your prediction comes true.
