Welcome to Harnessing Positivity!

Introduce the session with enthusiasm. Emphasize the bright colors (use #FFFF00 and #FFD700 as visual cues) to capture students' attention. Briefly explain the importance of positive thinking in managing stress.

Negative vs. Positive Thoughts

Use this slide to show examples. Discuss common negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones. Ask the students for examples of both if time permits.

Your Turn: Transforming Thoughts

Guide students through the 'Transforming Thoughts Exercise'. Encourage participation and reflection. Allow students a moment to think of their own examples of transforming a negative thought.
