Positive and negative thoughts

year 4 - year 6

Making Negative Thoughts into Positive Thoughts

Often, we think negatively about a situation or an event that has happened or is about to happen. When we think negatively, we are likely to carry on thinking negatively, which helps to make the thought more powerful. When this happens, it is really difficult to find positive thoughts. This can lead to a one-sided view of a situation or event which is often not a true judgement.

Watch the following video on how your thoughts can affect your mindset.

Class Activity:

Complete the table below with your own negative and positive thoughts. Think what positives you can see from the situation and how you can think more positively. The more positives you can find, the more positive you will think, as the negative thoughts will be reduced and the situation will appear more balanced.
