7 Keys to a Positive Personality - Brian Tracy
This document explains seven great keys to a positive personality. Remember a

positive personality will have more of an impact on your success and happiness than
perhaps any other factor.
Mental Diet (Thoughts that feed in Mind) – A Personality controlling factor
Your mental diet largely determines your character and your personality and almost
everything that happens to you in life. When you feed your mind with positive ideas and
information in books and conversations with positive people, positive audio programs
and positive thoughts then you develop a more positive and constructive personality,
you become more influential and persuasive and you enjoy greater self-confidence and
self-esteem.
Now, mental fitness is like physical fitness. You develop high levels of self-esteem and
a positive mental attitude with training and practice. Here are the seven keys to
becoming a completely positive person.
1. Positive Self Talk
The first key is positive self-talk. Speak to yourself positively. Control your inner
dialogue. Use affirmations, positive statements phrased in the positive present and
personal tense. Brian Tracy’s favorite positive statements are I like myself; I can do it; I
feel terrific; I am responsible. This is how top people think most of the time.
Now, psychologists say that fully 95 percent of your emotions are determined by
the way you talk to yourself as you go through your day. This is called your inner
dialogue. It's the stream of words and thoughts and feelings that course through your
day like a river going through your mind. The sad fact is that if you do not deliberately
and consciously talk to yourself in a positive and constructive way, you will by default.
Think about things that will make you unhappy or cause you worry and anxiety.
Mind is like a Vacuum and Garden
Your mind is like a vacuum. It will not remain empty. If you don't fill it with positive
thoughts, it will fill with negative thoughts. And you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Your mind is like a garden. If you do not deliberately plant flowers and tend them
carefully, weeds will grow without any encouragement at all. If you don't think positive
thoughts and can take good care of them, negative thoughts will grow in your mental
garden without any effort on your part.
2. Positive Visualization
The second key is positive visualization. Now, perhaps the most powerful ability that
you have is the ability to visualize and to see your goals as already accomplished. See
your life as ideal in every way. The way you do this is you create a clear, exciting picture
of your goal and your ideal life and replay this picture on the screen of your mind
repeatedly.
The rule is that all improvement in your outer life begins with an improvement in your
mental pictures and you completely control the pictures that you play on the screen of
your mind. As you see yourself on the inside, you start to be that person with
those accomplishments on the outside.
3. Choose Positive People
The third key is positive people. Your choice of the people with whom you live, and work
and associate will have more of an impact on your emotions and your success than any
other factor. Why is it important? Because they control your self-talk and your
mental pictures. So, decide today to associate with winners, with positive people,
with people who are happy and optimistic and who are going somewhere with their
lives.
On the other hand, avoid negative people at all costs. Negative people are the primary
source of most of life's unhappiness. So, resolve that from day onward. You are not
going to have stressful or negative people in your life. That one decision alone can
transform your thinking.
The fourth key is positive mental food. Just as your body is healthy to the degree to
which you eat healthy, nutritious foods. Your mind is healthy to the degree to which you
feed it with mental protein rather than mental candy.
Read books, magazines and articles that are educational, inspirational or motivational.
Feed your mind with information and ideas that are uplifting and that make you feel
happy and more confident about yourself and your world. Listen to positive, constructive
c.d and audio programs in your car and on your m_p_ three player or iPod. Feed your
mind continually with positive messages that help you think and act better and make
you more capable and competent in your field. Watch positive an educational DVD.
Educational television programs, online courses and other uplifting, enriching material
that increases your knowledge and makes you feel good about yourself and your life.
Did you know that every time you learn something new that you feel can help improve
your life, your brain releases endorphins, which are called natures happy drug, and you
actually feel happier even before you take action on a new piece of idea. You feel
happier that you have learned a new idea in the first place.
Now the fifth key is positive training and development. This is what I love. Almost
everyone in our society starts off with limited resources, sometimes with no money at
all. Virtually all fortunes begin with the sale of personal services of some kind. All the
people who are at the top today were once at the bottom, and sometimes they fell to the
bottom several times in their journey through life. The miracle of lifelong learning and
personal improvement is what it takes to get you from rags to riches, from poverty to
affluence, and from underachievement to success and financial independence.
As Jim Rohn said, formal education will make you a living. S education will make you a
fortune. When you dedicate yourself to learning and growing and becoming better and
more effective in your thoughts and actions, you take complete control of your life and
dramatically increase the speed at which you move upward to greater heights. Now the
sixth key is positive health habits. Take excellent care of your physical health. The day
that you're going to live to be 80 or 90 or 100 years old and still be dancing in the
evenings.
The way you do this is you eat excellent foods, healthy and nutritious, and you eat them
sparingly and in proper balance. An excellent diet will have an immediate positive effect
on your thoughts and feelings. Resolve to get regular exercise at least 200 minutes of
motion per week. That's 30 minutes per day walking, running, swimming, bicycling or
working out on equipment in the gym. When you exercise on a regular basis, you feel
happier and healthier and experience of lower levels of stress and fatigue than a person
who sits on the couch and watches television all evening.
Especially in this busy world. Get ample rest and relaxation. You need to recharge your
batteries on a regular basis, especially when you're going through periods of stress or
difficulty. Vince Lombardi once said Fatigue makes cowards of us all. Some of the
factors that predispose us to negative emotions of all kinds or poor health habits,
fatigue, lack of exercise and nonstop work without rest. Seek balance in your life. Now
the seventh key is positive expectations. Having positive expectations is one of the most
powerful techniques you can use.
They become a positive person and to ensure positive outcomes and better results in
your life, your expectations become your own self-fulfilling prophecies. But if you expect
with confidence seems to come into your life, since you can control your expectations,
you should always expect the best. Expect to be successful. Expect to be popular when
you meet new people. Expect to achieve great goals and create a wonderful life for
yourself.
