Your Attitude Muscle is ...

• What gets sore when you have to be nice to people who aren't being nice to you.
• What helps you get out of bed when it's cold outside.
• What helps you smile when you realize you don't have any clean clothes to wear today.
• What finds the humor in tense situations.

Workouts for strengthening your Attitude Muscle

• When you are treated rudely by someone, you take the time to realize they probably did not intend to be rude.
• When your child continues to do something you've asked them not to do, you shift your attitude and try to see things as they see them.
• When you're stuck in traffic and are late for an appointment, you practice your relaxation techniques.

Tips

• Rest your Attitude Muscle so it can recover between workouts.
• Sometimes your muscle gets worked too much and becomes sore. At that point, you should try to be around other people with fresh Attitude Muscles.
• You want to work this muscle enough that it builds stronger, but not so hard that it breaks and causes relationships and self-confidence to fracture.
• If your Attitude Muscle is feeling strong, help lift other people's attitudes.
