Affects* of Positive Thinking
We all know the effects of stress on the human body.
*high blood pressure *ulcers *headaches, etc.
Can’t positive thinking result in the
reverse effects? Both lab research and
survey research indicate that positive
emotions help people who were
previously under stress relax back to
their physiological baseline

Positive Thinking
•Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know how to be
grateful for the gift
•The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on
the porch swing with, never say a word, then walk
away feeling like it was the best conversation you
have ever had

2. Develop a routine to start every day in a
positive mental state
Positive Thinking
•Positive and negative are directions.
Which direction do you choose?
•Suppose you stand at a crossroads,
one way leading to a desert and the
other one to a lush meadow, which
way do you choose?

Positive Thinking
The tongue weighs
practically nothing,
but so few people can
hold it!

7. Be a positive energy
source with others
Positive Thinking

What you or your clients need
to watch out for….
![Page 18: Positive Thinking - cappaedu.com€¦ · Positive Thinking •Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person,](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011914/5fc097be7f8efe05a66fb23b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Focusing on the negative:
This is sometimes called filtering. You filter out
the good and focus only on the bad.
Example: "I'm sad that I don't have many
friends. People must not like me."
Reality: You have some friends. So that
means you're likable and can make more
friends if you want them.
![Page 19: Positive Thinking - cappaedu.com€¦ · Positive Thinking •Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person,](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011914/5fc097be7f8efe05a66fb23b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Should:
People sometimes have set ideas about how they "should" act. If you hear yourself saying that you or other people "should," "ought to," or "have to" do
something, then you might be setting yourself up to feel bad.
Example: "I should get married before I'm 30. If I don't, it means I'm a loser."
Reality: There's nothing wrong with having a timeline in mind. But you're not being fair to yourself if you make your self-worth depend on meeting a deadline.
![Page 20: Positive Thinking - cappaedu.com€¦ · Positive Thinking •Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person,](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011914/5fc097be7f8efe05a66fb23b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Over generalizing:
This is taking one example and saying it's true for
everything. Look for words such as "never" and
"always."
Example: "I got laid off. I'll never get another job."
Reality: Many people lose their jobs because of
downsizing and other things beyond their control. It
doesn't mean that you won't be able to get another
job.
![Page 21: Positive Thinking - cappaedu.com€¦ · Positive Thinking •Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person,](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011914/5fc097be7f8efe05a66fb23b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
All-or-nothing thinking:
This is also called black-or-white thinking.
Example: "If I don't get a big raise at my next review, then it means I have no future with this company."
Reality: There's nothing wrong with wanting a big raise. But if you don't get the raise, there may be reasons for it that have nothing to do with you.

The difference between can and
cannot are only three letters.
Three letters that determine your
life's direction.

Anger is only one letter short
of danger.
