The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice. It can work for or against you, depending on the messages you allow. It can be optimistic or pessimistic (悲观的). It can wear you down or cheer you up.

　　Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past experiences and events. Common causes include low self-esteem, stress, fear, resentment, anger and an inability to handle change. It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harmful attitude, but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this heavy baggage can last a lifetime.

　　Here are several strategies to improve your attitude:

　　Enthusiasm—Vital Tool for Staying Motivated

　　Enthusiasm is to attitude what breathing is to life. Enthusiasm makes it possible for you to apply your gifts more effectively. Enthusiasm means putting yourself in motion. It’s an internal spirit that speaks through your actions.

　　Lighten Up Your Life with Humor

　　Humor is a powerful motivator. The more humor and laughter in your life, the less stress you’ll have, which means more positive energy to help you put your attitude into action. There are also health benefits to lightening up.

　　Exercising Will Help Keep You Motivated

　　One of the best ways to move to a more positive and motivated mind is to exercise. A regular exercise routine can provide relatively quick positive feedback in the form of weight loss, muscle development and a sense of doing something positive for yourself.
