Maintaining a Positive Mental Attitude; February, 2010
By almost any measure, we are just not a happy people right now. Our approval of our government leadership remains at low levels, our satisfaction with our work has plummeted, and the job opportunities aren’t growing nearly as fast as we were told they would. Businesses are struggling to survive and are already re-evaluating the strategies they may have only put in place just months before. Our economy may have stabilized, but we aren’t out of the woods yet.
The health care reform debacle has seemed to paralyze many of the various stakeholders throughout the system as they wait and watch to see what happens. Meanwhile, the costs continue to rise and state governments struggle with balancing their budgets and go after health care finances as a strategy to meet their fiscal goals.
It just doesn’t seem to be a fun time right now.
It’s very easy to get caught-up in all of the negativity. You hear a lot of it every day. Even though we may be surrounded by it, it depends on how you react to the negativity that makes a difference. This includes whether you are running a business or running your own personal life.
It’s how you look at the world that makes the difference. And, yes, attitudes can change; and transformation is possible. We’ve seen it happen.
