HOW TO CHANGE NEGATIVE ATTITUDES:

Is very important to take a confidence relation with your Negative Attitude. And bring about change that will allow you to build a better environment.
For this, you can follow this steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Negative Attitude:
You can't ignore it and expect it to disappear by itself. Do not try to convince others that they should change and think like you think. Ask them for suggestions and help.
2. Model positive behavior:
Choose someone successful with a positive attitude and imitate them.
3. Look for and identify the positives in all situations:
We forget to find the positive in each situation and we are addicted in focusing our mind in the negative part of the events. We are quick to dismiss others' ideas. We should try to identify the effort while kindly discussing the idea.
4. Give positive recognition:
Provide positive recognition as soon as you find out about good performance. Acknowledge other's efforts and you will change their attitude and win their cooperation.
5. Refrain from gossiping:
It is easy to get caught in the general complaining especially in informal discussions. When faced with negative conversations, consider changing the subject. You could suggest the following: "Let's talk about something more positive", or ask "how the situation could be solved."
6. Refrain from blaming self or others:
Blaming keeps you in the negative attitude, closed to other points of view and creates resistance to change and advancing.
7. Breathe deeply before reacting to any disturbing situation:
Knowing what makes you react, take 10 deep breathe before reacting. You want to train yourself to act and not to react.
8. Identify your greatest strength:
What single quality do you possess that you think makes you a good person?... Identifying this will allow you to focus on your positive behavior.
9. Focus in the outcome:
In a difficult situation, you should ask yourself: What results or outcome do I desire?... Is this something I should be spending my energy on?...
10. Take a walk or take distance for a few minutes to cool down:
Take time during the walk to build up the best strategy to improve or solve the situation.
