THE WARRIOR WAY
Twenty Ways To Keep Your
Attitude Positive, Part 2
By Grandmaster Bill Clark
Physiology Plays a Huge Part in How You Feel
Pay attention to your own body language. Stand up straight,
shoulders back, and smile in this position. It’s impossible to feel
bad. Do the opposite and it’s alarmingly easy to feel bad. I regularly
practice Tai Chi and Qigong. This practice has kept my posture at
the top of my mind. This allows me to look and feel my best.
Exercise Daily
● Workouts of any kind create endorphins, which is a chemical
produced in the body that makes you feel better by creating a
natural high.
● Don’t ride whenever you can walk.
● Walk and bike whenever you can.
● Park in the spots furthest from the store.
● Take the stairs, not the elevator.
● Walk between terminals in airports where possible.
● Do anything to increase your number of daily steps and
calorie burn.
My life has been staying in good physical shape through the
practice of martial arts. Grandmaster Y.K. Kim tells how this was
vitally important to him when he was fighting in the PKA and how
he continues today.
Have a Goal
People with goals are more motivated and positive because
they have a destination and something worthy to accomplish.
People without goals are trying to find a new destination without
a map or GPS and often get frustrated. Turn your dreams into real
goals with plans and deadlines! Mr. Kim set my first goal for me.
This set me on the path of lifetime goal setting, including goals for
opening up my first school. That’s what made it successful.
Use Positive Words to Describe Your Life
When someone asks, “How are you?” instead of answering,
“I’m fine” like most people, use words that open the doors of success,
such as “fantastic,” “stupendous,” “remarkable,” or “brilliant!”
