As long as you aren't too strong with it, such as the behavior you would expect from a car salesman. Being a positive thinker and a creative one too are great steps towards public speaking/writing. Second thing is you do have to talk/write with a purpose... but when you do have a purpose and can present it in an energetic and positive way, both going hand in hand are a powerful thing.

I notice the difference in my business and my overall writing when I am in a slump and not thinking positively. Confidence can be forced too, even when you don't feel like bring confident. Often in times like that confidence breeds more confidence, so though you may not feel positive to begin with, the feeling grows until the negativity melts away.<br/><br/>Excellent post!

If there’s a chink in my chain, I feel myself slump as I work and I don’t have the confidence or desire to apply for new work. My attitude definitely impacts everything.

Sometimes my writing is great therapy though and if I write about my negative emotions, I can sometimes talk myself out of my rut. I try to write therapeutically in a way that defines my problem and I always try to end by deciding how I’ll change my situation even if I’m tempted to stop writing at the point where I’ve spewed a bunch of expletives.

It’s hard to keep your chin up every minute of the day but trying to live your life in every aspect with positivity does make a difference. I see it in my work, my parenting, my marriage…

Great post, Sharon and I think I’m now inspired to write about therapeutic writing.
Let’s keep inspiring one another :D
