Key Point for Positive Life style

  Key Point
                         You are what you think. You feel what you want.

**Why Think Positively?
All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal
thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether
we know it or not. We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or
dull, active or passive. The biggest difference between people is
their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For
others, learning is drudgery. For many, learning is just okay,
something required on the road to a job.
Our present attitudes are habits, built from the feedback of parents,
friends, society and self, that forms our self-image and our world-
image.

These attitudes are maintained by the inner conversations we
constantly have with ourselves, both consciously and subconsciously.

The first step in changing our attitudes is to change our inner
conversations.

**What Should We Be Saying?

One approach is called the three C's: Commitment, Control and
Challenge.

friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself and
others. Dream of success. Be enthusiastic.

**Control

for what you think and do. Visualize to practice your actions.

successes. Be honest with yourself.

look back. See learning and change as opportunities. Try new things.
Consider several options. Meet new people. Ask lots of questions.
Keep track of your mental and physical health. Be optimistic.
