How to change your attitude - Changing your attitude can change your life

Attitude is everything

Attitude is everything.

Attitude is a way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that reflects your state of mind and character.

I am sure you have met people where you thought they had a great attitude, and others where you thought they had a poor attitude. How did you make the observation if someone had a great attitude or not?

Attitude is reflected in the way people behave, based on their internal thoughts, feelings and self talk. We are in complete control of what we think, how we feel and what we say to ourselves, which means we are in total control of our behaviour and the attitude we project.  

Changing your attitude, means changing your behaviour, which means changing how we feel, what we think and what we say to ourselves. I believe what we say to ourselves is very powerful because it can make the biggest difference that will directly impact on our feelings, thoughts behaviour and our attitudes.

We can change what we say to ourselves very easily. Firstly, you need to be aware of what you are saying to yourself and know that what you say is either helping you or harming you. When you tell yourself “I can do this” it is clearly helping you. “I’m a loser” is definitely hurting you. 

Some things you say to yourself are not so obvious. Listen to your self talk and ask yourself, is this helping me or is this hurting me? Think about what you are saying to yourself and what will happen if you continue to do this, how will it impact on your behaviour, your attitude, your happiness and your life. Does the end result make you happy, excited, motivated and energetic? Or does it make you feel sad, deflated, depressed and tired?

There are some things we say to ourselves, which we should never say because it will lead to failure, misery and unhappiness. If you catch yourself saying something that does not serve you, it can be destructive for your self esteem, relationships, career and happiness. You need to immediately change your self-talk to positive and constructive language.

For some it may feel awkward or strange at first, but know this: your mind is listening. What you say to yourself your mind perceives as reality. By changing your internal dialogue, practicing positive affirmations and positive self talk, you can change your attitude, you can change your life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, feelings, beliefs, actions and outcomes. Attitude is the little thing that makes a big difference.  It is everything and it creates remarkable results.

Change you attitude, change your destiny.


Here are some examples of the negative self talk we tell ourselves. If you find yourself using destructive language, change it around to constructive language. Remember, your mind is listening. What you tell yourself is the reality you create.

CONSTRUCTIVE LANGUAGE

What other things have you been saying to yourself that do not serve you? Write them down and work out what you should be saying to yourself that will help you achieve more. More happiness, more confidence, more love, more fun, a better life.

Beauty Therapist vs Dermal Therapist: Why the Industry and Consumers Are Still Confused

  Ask any skincare professional or client, and they’ll tell you: the terminology in the beauty industry is confusing. Titles like "Beautician," "Beauty Therapist," and "Dermal Therapist" are often used interchangeably. But they aren’t the same, and that creates uncertainty for both consumers and professionals. This confusion isn’t new. It’s the result of decades of changes to qualifications, training structures, and industry language. And unless we address it, it will continue to affect the credibility of our profession and the confidence of our clients. So what do these titles actually mean? And more importantly, what should they mean? The History of Beauty Therapy Training in Australia Before the 1990s, Australia had no national framework for beauty therapy qualifications. Despite this, many private colleges offered exceptional training programs, Certificate IV and Diploma in Beauty Therapy, that produced highly skilled professionals. These course...

Raise Your Vibration: The Real Path to Lasting Confidence and Energy

What if your confidence isn’t something you “build”, but something you tune into ? We often treat confidence like a trait only a few lucky people are born with. But what if confidence were simply the natural result of living in a higher energetic state? The truth is, your emotional and physical energy, what some call your vibration,  shapes how you show up in the world. And if you're stuck in low-vibration habits like comparison, self-doubt, or guilt, no amount of pep-talk will help you feel empowered. So, how do you raise your vibration and stay there? Let’s unpack it all using a simple tool I call the Vibration Chart . Understanding the Vibration Chart Picture a vertical line with a “baseline” across the centre. Everything above the line represents higher-vibration states like joy, energy, calm, and motivation. Everything below the line reflects low-vibration states like fear, shame, overwhelm, and guilt. Now ask yourself: Where does confidence belong? When I ask th...
