Yesterday I had a guy named Cristian Raiber contact me on my instant messenger. He was very polite and introduced himself. He wanted to know if he could post an article on the site. I checked out his site and saw that a few of the regulars here were also commenting over there so I decided to go ahead and allow him to post his article here. Enjoy reading the article and be sure to drop him a few comments, tell him hello and take a peek at his site. Also share your thoughts with him regarding the article.

A short introduction of Raiber Cristian

Hello, as some of you might have guessed my name is Raiber Cristian, I’m a 19 year old college student from Romania. I love to blog and share my thoughts and ideas with other fellow bloggers. There aren’t many things that I could say about me, things that you wouldn’t find on my About page as well.
Garry, the owner of this blog has agreed to let me publish an article. Thank you Garry for this opportunity.

The article itself

Studies along the years have shown that the way we think influences us in every aspect of our lives. When at work, or anywhere else we seem to get over the day easier by keeping a positive mental state. We can gain control over our feelings by simply blocking out all of the negative thoughts, and keeping the positive ones. We have the choice of thinking either positive either negative.
I am almost certain that many of the people that are actually reading this article, consider blogging as their job. A bloggers thinking is usually influenced by all sorts of feedbacks. Feedbacks occur in their lives any almost any step, may that feedback be under the form of:a comment on their blog, a positive or negative thought received from family of friends.
Big bloggers, and not only, have to deal with stress and crisis every day. Embracing the challenges in a positive way lets them develop the stamina to withstand that kind of crisis and stress.
I think that they way you think, as a blogger, can influence many of your daily tasks. It can certainly increase your productivity in terms of the number of articles you write per day, topics to cover and after all, the quality of the articles you’re writing.
You might feel stressed when you’re lacking ideas for articles, or when you have so much work to do on your hands that you don’t even have a second to think. Believe me, times like these will come and you have to be prepared to face them, so, this is what I suggest.
Whenever you’re facing a problem, take 1 minute and concentrate about that single problem, try to block it out. If that doesn’t work, then I suggest you’d head over and read the rule of the three C’s : Commitment, Control, Challenge.

Commitment

I suggest to start off with making a positive comment to yourself, praise yourself and others, look only at the bright side of things.
It’s a choice of will here, choose whatever you’d like to be, and dream of that, concentrate your full attention on that certain thing. Be enthusiastic.

Control

When negative thoughts will overcome you, and at a certain point they certainly will it’s better to keep your mind focused only on important things. Think only about your goals and priorities. It’s best to develop a strategy to overcome negative thoughts.

Challenge

If you feel like trying something new, don’t hesitate just do it and don’t look back. If you ever think of trying something new on your blog, don’t be afraid do it. It’s your blog, your choice.

People with positive outlooks understand that life is a series of events all of which are potential opportunities for learning

Here are 5 suggestions for building positive attitudes as a blogger :

1)Wherever you go, try to look for positive people which you can associate with.
2)In every article you’re going to read from now on, try to find and extract only the ideas that seem interesting to you.
3)With every blogger, friend, family member or other relative, try to be as understanding as possible.
4)When you have time, share some new concepts with your audience, make them understand something new.
5)Always keep a list of goals, positive thoughts and ideas.
