Whether you believe in the Law of Attraction, The Secret, the power of positive thinking, or you think positive thinking is a bunch of new age bologna, few can argue with the fact that people simply are happier and feel more optimistic when they have positive thoughts. For those in sales, positive thinking can lead to more creative thinking which can lead to more closed sales.
無論你是否相信吸引力法則，其中的秘訣，積極思考所帶來的力量，或你認(rèn)為積極思考只是新時(shí)代的法學(xué)思想，但是很少人能否認(rèn)這個(gè)事實(shí)：當(dāng)人們保持積極樂觀的態(tài)度時(shí)，他們就會(huì)感到更快樂更積極。對(duì)于銷售領(lǐng)域的職場(chǎng)人來說，保持積極的人生態(tài)度能夠激發(fā)他們產(chǎn)生更有創(chuàng)造力的想法，最終幫助他們簽下更多訂單。

Knowing how to think positively is as important as wanting to. Here are a few steps to how to be a positive thinker from the business world.
學(xué)會(huì)如何積極思考與渴望學(xué)會(huì)積極思考同等重要。想要成為商業(yè)場(chǎng)中積思考者，有以下幾個(gè)步驟：

1.Determine Your Desired Outcome
1. 設(shè)定期望結(jié)果

The problem with many people is that they really don't know what they want out of life or a particular situation. Take a moment to decide what it really is that you want out of a life event. Clear intentions yield clear results while fuzzy desires yield fuzzy results.
許多人都有這樣的問題：并不了解自己在生活中或特定情況下的所需所求?；c(diǎn)時(shí)間，想想自己希望從生活事件中獲得什么。明確的動(dòng)機(jī)能產(chǎn)生明確的結(jié)果，然而模糊不清的欲望只會(huì)導(dǎo)致模糊不清的結(jié)果。

2.Make A List of Things Your Are Grateful For
2.列舉感恩的事情

Tony Robbins, well known life coach and motivational speaker, says that no matter how much money you may have in your accounts, if you are not grateful, you are poor. Gratitude is an amazing emotion in that it is almost impossible to feel negative thoughts when you are focusing on things you are grateful for.
Tonny Robbins是一位有名的人生導(dǎo)師和勵(lì)志演說家，他認(rèn)為無論你的銀行賬戶有多少存款，如果你不懂感恩，你就是貧窮的人。感恩的心是一種神奇的情感，因?yàn)楫?dāng)你專注于你所感恩的事情時(shí)，你幾乎不可能有負(fù)面的情緒。

If you make a list of 10 things that you are grateful for everyday, you will put yourself in a very positive mind set that will last your entire day.
如果每天你都能列舉十件感恩的事情，你就能保持積極的心理狀態(tài)，并且能一整天都感到精神滿滿。

3.Learn to Count to 5
3. 學(xué)會(huì)數(shù)到5

Most of us spend our lives reacting to events. How we react is usually governed by how we either learned to react or have reacted to similar events in our past. But simply reacting does not allow any room for creative and targeted thinking.
大多數(shù)人用其一生糾結(jié)于對(duì)事物的反應(yīng)上。我們的反應(yīng)通常受到這些因素支配：要么是我們學(xué)得的如何給出反應(yīng)，要么是對(duì)過往同類事件所做出的反應(yīng)。不過僅僅作出反應(yīng)無法讓我們具有創(chuàng)造性和針對(duì)性的思考。

Next time you find yourself in a situation that presents a challenge to your decision to be more positive, hold your reaction and count to 5. This brief break will give you the opportunity to decide how you want to respond, instead of simply reacting.
下次當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己正拘泥是否該往積極方面思考的情況時(shí)，請(qǐng)先別急著做反應(yīng)，而應(yīng)先數(shù)5秒鐘。這個(gè)短暫的停頓能讓你決定你所希望的反應(yīng)方式，而不僅僅是草率反應(yīng)。

4.Cut Back on the Nightly News
4.減少觀看夜間新聞的次數(shù)

Whichever nightly news program you prefer, you probably are aware of how much negative news is reported. Expose yourself to an abundance of negativity and, like it or not, you will begin to be more negative.
無論你喜歡何種夜間新聞節(jié)目，但你應(yīng)該都能意識(shí)到負(fù)面新聞的影響。如果你常常觀看大量的負(fù)面新聞，不管你喜不喜歡，你都會(huì)變得越來越消極。

Negativity is like a drug. The more you expose yourself to negativity and negative people, the more you adopt negativity into your life.
負(fù)面影響就像毒藥。你接觸的負(fù)面影響和消極的人越多，你就會(huì)吸收越多負(fù)面能量。

Instead, try to surround yourself with positive people and positive exposures. If you absolutely must know what's going on in the world, read the headlines on an Internet news stream and only read those stories that really effect your world.
相反，多去接觸積極向上的人和正面影響的事物。如果你真的很想了解世界正在發(fā)生的事情，那就瀏覽網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息流的標(biāo)題，而且單單瀏覽這些故事標(biāo)題還確實(shí)能達(dá)到你的需求。

5.Take Care of Yourself
5.照顧好自己

The benefits of exercise, a healthy diet and getting enough sleep have been well documented. But just knowing about all the benefits does nothing for you unless you actually take action.
早已有文獻(xiàn)證明了運(yùn)動(dòng)的益處，健康飲食和充足睡眠的好處。不過只知道這些好習(xí)慣的益處對(duì)你來說仍毫無用處，除非你真的行動(dòng)起來了。

6.Daily action
6.每日行動(dòng)

Someone who can exercise but who chooses not to is no better off than someone who cannot exercise. Daily exercise, when coupled with a healthy diet and enough rest can do wonders for your outlook. When you feel good, it really takes effort to make yourself feel bad.
能運(yùn)動(dòng)但不運(yùn)動(dòng)的人不比不會(huì)運(yùn)動(dòng)的人有優(yōu)勢(shì)。每天的運(yùn)動(dòng)，配以健康飲食和充足的休息能讓你的人生觀產(chǎn)生驚人的變化。當(dāng)你自我感覺良好，負(fù)面的情緒就那么容易影響你了。

7.Track Your Progress
7.記錄成長(zhǎng)的軌跡

As with any goal, the person who you become as you progress towards your goal is more important than accomplishing the goal itself. As you move towards being a positive thinker, expect that you will have as many "negative thinking" days as you do "positive focused" days. But unless you keep track of your progress, you may not even realize that the numbers of days are shifting more towards the positive and away from the negative.
正如任何目標(biāo)，你努力希望變成目標(biāo)的那個(gè)人，比你完成這個(gè)目標(biāo)本身重要得多。當(dāng)你變得越來越積極樂觀，你就會(huì)預(yù)測(cè)到你擁有“積極專注”的日子與“負(fù)面思考”的日子是一樣的。除非你能密切關(guān)注自己的進(jìn)步軌跡，甚至你還沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)隨著時(shí)間的推移，你將遠(yuǎn)離負(fù)面走向積極。

What You Need:
你所需要的是：

A list of your goals
目標(biāo)計(jì)劃表

A journal
一本日記本

A committment to living a more positive-thought based life.
希望以更積極的態(tài)度生活的決心。
