RITA ASKS ~ WHAT ARE YOU READING?

     Nothing is more important than a positive attitude. For years I’ve studied the effects of ‘self-talk’ ~ what we say to ourselves ~ and let’s face it . . . we wouldn’t talk to our best friends the way we talk to ourselves.

     I firmly believe ‘attitude is a choice’ . . . and that is how I live each day. I wasn’t always so positive . . . but be sure I am now. I have used many aids to teach myself how to create a positive attitude in my thoughts and actions. I believe a smile can be heard over a phone . . . just try sounding angry while you’re smiling!
     So, if you wake up and feel a bit ‘cranky’ or ‘under the weather’ . . . choose to smile and change your day around. You’ll find it becomes habit. People will comment on how you’re always happy and refreshing to be around. That encourages you to be even happier . . . cheerier . . . your smile becomes a part of you ~ and everyone around you. Positive attitude is a win-win.
     Recently I’ve come across a fabulous tool to keep that positive attitude in my office . . . a daily habit that is exciting. What am I reading?
