1. Positive approach towards futureWe are all the products of our past and present experiences. Everything that we have

witnessed in our lives to date has helped to shape us as an individual which is why we

are all different.

Take a look around you. Look at the people you associate with. Are they happy, laughing and

full of optimism or do they look miserable, suspicious of others and wary? The chances are

that whichever category they fall into, youre likely to be in the same one.

Its very true that if you are a positive type of person, youre likely to see problems as

challenges to be overcome and not hurdles. Youre likely to be a go-getter and not a victim.

There is no real reason why you should be in one category and not the other. Its not a matter

of fate and saying to yourself things like, Nothing good ever happens to me anyway,

because if you think like that, nothing good will ever happen to you.

There are several benefits of Being Positive:

*Being positive leads to better productivity in the work you do and increases your career

prospects. If youre negative, youll get frustrated, get distracted, give up more easily and

drag your feet.

* Being positive leads to better relationships. After all, who wants to be around a killjoy? Not

only does their negativity make for bad company, their negative energy can often sap your

own positive vibe so you should try to surround yourself with positive people if you want to

be happy and confident about your future. Good personal relationships build trust and

communication which is far better than feeling negative where youre always suspicious of

others motives and feel that people and the world are out to get you.

3.Resilience during challenge and loss

Resilient people bounce back after disasters, shocks, disappointments, struggles, conflicts,

and loss. Refusing to be beaten. Resilience involves a certain amount of mental, emotional,

and physical toughness. This form of toughness leads to durability.

In general resilient individuals are well grounded psychologically and spiritually. It's hard for

people to stay intact if they aren't intact before crisis hits.

Resilient people feel thankful for every event in their lives: the good and joyful as well as the

negative and upsetting. They grasp the fact that all of these together serve as necessary

teachers.

Hence, for positive personal growth presence of this aspect in ones personality is very

important.

Managing your Emotions:

Strong emotions are both a cause of, and a result of conflict. People in conflict may have avariety of strong and often negative emotions--anger, distrust, disappointment, frustration,

confusion, worry, or fear. These emotions often mask the substantive issues in dispute. However,

the emotions, too, are real and must be dealt with.

1) Recognize and understand your own emotions as well as your opponents'.

2) Determine the source of the feelings.

3) Talk about feelings--yours and your opponents'. Don't suppress them, or deny them--acknowledge them and deal with them directly.

4) Express your own feelings in a non-confrontational way. This can be done, for example, by

using I-messages, where you say "I feel angry because. . ." rather than "You made me angry by. .

." The first approach explains your feelings without accusing anyone else, while the second

focuses blame on the opponent who is likely to become hostile or defensive in response..

5) Acknowledge your opponents' feelings as legitimate.

6) Do not react emotionally to emotional outbursts. You should acknowledge the outburst with

active listening (which shows that you understand the strength of the speaker's feelings),

7) Use symbolic gestures. Gestures such as apologies, sympathy notes, shared meals, or evenhandshakes can be very useful in expressing respect and defusing negative emotions at little cost.
