How To Build Positive Momentum in Your Life

*
Surround yourself with positive people. This is key. If you want to build up positive momentum in your life, you can't have tons of negativity around you. Sometimes it's unavoidable (say, at work or at an event you have to attend) but, for the most part, you can control the people and situations in your life. Pick positive ones because you and I both know there's really no point in having negative people in your life. (Likewise, think about whether or not you are a positive or negative influence on the lives around you!)

*
Perform kind acts (and not randomly!). As Gretchen Rubin talks about on The Happiness Project, our acts of kindness shouldn't be random. We shouldn't do them every once and awhile. No, we should do them all the time. We should dole out kindness like it's free-flowing and easy to obtain (which it is!). While I can be kind at times, I don't think I'm as kind as I could be so I'm really, really going to work on this one.

Do the things you do best...a lot. As you know, one of my favorite things in the world to do is write and for a long time I was only doing it occasionally and I was only doing it in a journal that I never, EVER let anyone else read. Now that I'm writing all the time -- and sharing it with people like you -- I feel the positive momentum in my life building. I feel good about myself and, to be honest, the more I write the better I get at it. Think about what you love to do and do it as often as you can.

Focus on positive things around you. I know I stress this point a lot, but it's so, so important. We have to look for the good in life because, quite frankly, whatever you look for is what you will see. That whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing is so true and it applies to life too. If you think you life is beautiful, it is beautiful. So look around you... what do you see? Do you see greatness and beauty and awesomeness? I bet it's there, all around you, if you just look. Open your eyes to the positive things in your life. They are there.
 
Be grateful every day for everything. While driving home the other day I was feeling down. Really down. And then I realized a few things...It was a beautiful day, nearly a long weekend, driving home in a great car to a great apartment with my adorable dog on my lap. I was young and healthy and, most importantly, I was alive and lucky enough to be there, in that moment. I realized that asking for more than all of that was just flat out greedy. I was so lucky -- SO lucky -- and I need to keep that feeling of gratitude with me always.

Before the highly successful saleperson leaves their office for the day, they will repeat this quote to themselves. Whatever type of daily organizer or appointment schedule you use, you need to look at it prior to leaving your office and make sure that you have activities on the books for tomorrow. For example, you will have scheduled confirmed appointments on the books, or you will have sales contracts to write, or you will have prepared a list of clients to call on your call back list, etc... This will double or even triple your personal production.
