What if you could fundamentally transform your perspective on life by understanding and changing your attitudes? On this episode of the Inspired Life Podcast, we're breaking down the intricate components of attitudes — cognitive, affective, and behavioral — and exploring how these shape our daily interactions and perceptions. Through vivid real-life examples, we'll illustrate how our attitudes are formed by direct experiences, social influences, and media exposure, drawing on Bandura's social learning theory. We'll delve into the psychological mechanics behind attitude shifts, examining key theories like Festinger's cognitive dissonance and the Elaboration Likelihood Model by Petty and Cacioppo.

We also share practical strategies for fostering positive attitude changes, from self-reflection and new experiences to surrounding yourself with uplifting influences and consuming educational content. Emphasizing the importance of open-mindedness and critical thinking, we discuss how these strategies can be applied to societal issues like public health campaigns and recycling initiatives.

What is happiness to me?

It is knowing and believing that happiness is a choice. A choice I make with every difficulty thrown at me. It's giving grace to myself when I make mistakes. It's movie nights, tight hugs and words of support.
