“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

- Winston Churchill

However, as we mature we are supposed to gain more control over our attitude(s) so that we can function well as a responsible citizen, productive worker, and a good friend, spouse, or parent.

How about you, how is your attitude today?

Does it need a slight recalibration or does it require a major overhaul? Either way, if you’re looking to make an attitude adjustment, check out the Six Steps of Attitude Change below.

1. Identify Problem Feelings

Feelings often play the same role. Getting our feelings hurt is natural and we all experience it. However, when insecurity comprises the foundation of our life it’s hard to trust our feelings to guide us to the right solutions.

2. Look for Negative Ramifications of Your Problem Feelings

Throughout our work with leaders, we often find that unsubstantiated feelings of doubt based on insecurity often spread to infect a person’s attitude in the office.

3. Understand Both Reality and Hope

Let reality become your friend, and while you’re at it, reacquaint yourself with that powerful driver we call Hope. When it comes to changing your attitude, reality is an equalizer.

4. Choose Your Attitude

Perhaps the most important step in the process is to simply choose to have a new attitude. No change ever happens without actually wanting that change.

5. Practice Your Target Attitude Daily (Internally and Externally)

The old saying “fake it till you make” always proves to be wiser advice than some would think. Any adoption of a different mindset or attitude will begin with an element of “faking it” because you are having to intentionally choose to think, act, speak, or approach life with a different mentality than what seems to come naturally.

6. Talk About the Change

One of the biggest mistakes people make with any change process is to keep it to themselves. Confidence, encouragement, and accountability come from talking about it out loud, processing it with yourself and others, and letting them know about your goals so they can help you stick to them.

Will You Choose Change?

At the end of the day, remaining unintentional about things leads to the death of those things.
