1. Positive approach towards future We 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 a variety 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 even handshakes can be very useful in expressing respect and defusing negative emotions at little cost.
