To practice, I started making decisions in the opposite manner. In the past when I would think of others, I would put myself first – and vice versa.
Life Without This Change
I found that my life before this was usually one that involved being unhappy at the expense of trying to make other people happy.
Life With This Change
However, I find that now I’m much more comfortable making choices that revolve around what I want to do instead of always trying to pander to other people.
Defeating Excuses

A major problem I had in my mindset was always looking to use excuses as a way to avoid knowing I failed. To change this, I concentrated on my failures.

I started to looked at why things went wrong, and what my own specific role was. It was the most positive action I could have taken as now I see where I went wrong and no longer blame other people.

This has really helped me come to terms with who I am and the extra practice has ensured I continue to progress. I would recommend practicing this whenever you find yourself excusing a poor performance or stupid mistake on your part.
Life Without This Change
Before I started to really look at my own actions before anyone else, I led a very insecure life. I would feel threatened by everyone and secure with nobody.
Life With This Change
Now, I’m far more comfortable and have found I’m more positive than I have been, as I can see my faults.
Creating, not Reacting

The most powerful way I have found to handle negativity is to create. I now use that energy for good.

This makes it very easy to give yourself time to consider a response, using creativity to drive your emotions.
Life Without This Change
I used to react wrongly to lots of situations and I would create tension between myself and other people in life.

Now I take the time to immerse myself in the idea of what has gone wrong, creating more harmony.
Personal Habits
Alright, so in this section we want to take a look at personal habits that you can adapt. Most of these are built around the idea of business productivity. I found the most useful stamp that you can put on your life is a successful, active and busy business life!
Simplifying your Day
Why Will This Help Me Become More Positive?
The easiest way to make your days easier is to clear away mess first – organize everything so you can work without distraction.

The easiest way to do this is to start in the morning, an hour before you need to get productive. By having no mess to bother you, you can just concentrate on enjoying yourself and making the most of the day.
How Often Should I Practice?
Do this every morning and you’ll see major benefits. Whether it’s the office or home, this works.

Without this change you’ll likely notice that you have major problems staying organized. Days are determined then by how messy the place is.

Making your life easier with this change is a no-brainer; it just means having to do an hours work before you start. The bonus, though, is a much easier quality of life that improves your concentration.
Establishing your Goals
Why Will This Help Me Become More Positive?
The best part of any project now for me – and you – will be to establish goals. Planning the main goals with the most challenging first will make your life much easier moving forward.

The easiest way to apply this is either in the morning or the night before. Simply plan out what you believe is the most difficult task waiting for you, and work on that first.
How Often Should I Practice?
Getting rid of the hardest task each day will ensure that you have the rest of the day to work on the easier stuff. Leaving harder projects until later is asking for trouble!
Life Without This Change
I was never productive enough and my acumen would suffer as a result. My business was unable to manage itself and carry the right formula forward, and I found that each day would become a random struggle that was hard to deal with.
Life With This Change
Instead, you can change to this way of thinking – it’s so much more productive it’s nearly not even true. Now, I have all day to handle small problems having used my morning to deal with the real ones!
Beginning a Project
Why Will This Help Me Become More Positive?
One of the most creative ways I found to inspire my plans and ambitions was to create a project with a plan. 30 minutes per day of non-stop work helped!

With this 30 minute window I would work like a beast on the project, then come back the next day. It allowed me to work on a side projects without getting frustrated or worrying it was taking up other time.
How Often Should I Practice?
I do this once per day, sometimes twice if it’s a quiet day. By working on a side project as I go, it becomes much easier to understand and appreciate where I am at with it without sidetracking other works.
Life Without This Change
Without this I used to just make the same errors over and over. I’d continually walk into two projects at once, only capable of delivering 50% on each. Now, I give each project 100% at specified times.
Life With This Change
My life has changed for the better in every conceivable way since I managed this project. It has improved my consistency in business!
Developing Habits
Why Will This Help Me Become More Positive?
A major part of my transformation from positivity to negativity came from creating more positive habits. For example, I removed distractions from work like smartphones, clutter and computers.

Incorporate this into your day to day working and a life of annoying problems will vanish. Productivity and positive thinking soars with this mentality, ensuring you’ll continue to change and adapt to face the problems head on.
Life Without This Change
I found that my life before this was simply chaotic. I would never get through a day without having to sit for an hour on Twitter; well, these problems are gone now.
Life With This Change
Now, I get through hours’ worth of work without having to take a break. My mind stays on the job so I get less frustrated, making me feel less negative than before.
