Focusing on negative behaviour will only trigger your own frustrations and aggression causing you to exhibit exactly the behaviour you are striving to stop. By focusing on reinforcing positive behaviour you are therefore modelling the kind of behaviour you feel is appropriate because you are calm, focused and feeling positive…

While in some instances, positive reinforcement works well, but as this article has shown that may not always be the case. In most instances, it may cause lower self-esteem, lower grades, and an inability to cope with failure. Reading through the article the author shows that positive reinforcement can be more harmful than positive. Studies show that children who are told they are smart are usually less…
Reflecting on their performance and how it is different from the expert’s performance. The learner will get assistance only at their request .Therefore, I provide support for my students to actively participate in patient encounters, building their clinical confidence and competence. In addition, learners relate what they have learned including procedural skills, problem solving, and communication skills to future practice situations. I encourage my students to do self-assessment and reflection on feedback from their clinical teacher. However, reflection is much more effective when conducted with a mentor making it a social activity (Ramani & Leinster, 2008). Two types of reflection excite reflection in action (during an activity), and reflection on action (after the activity) (Ramani & Leinster, 2008) both are important to learning process. Therefore, I need to provide more reflection in action to my students. In addition, I encourage my students to formulate leaning plan, exchange information with peers, provide support, and to encourage in…
WHY PEOPLE DO POSITIVE PHRASES WRONG: Another reason many people are not successful at instilling positive words and phrases into their minds enough to make substantial change is because they don't see the positive words and phrases consistently enough to get absorbed on a level that makes a difference. This is where having positive thinking quotes around you either on your computer screen, on your desk or on your walls will keep the "positive flow" going into your mind enough to make…
The causes of positive thinking can be traced back to the “Age of Downsizing” and the spread of, at best, weak science. The “Age of Downsizing”, which began in the 1980’s and continued through the 90’s, began in an effort from large corporations to increase their bottom lines by decreasing the numbers in their workforces. One of the unfortunate effects of this systematic slicing and dicing of lives is a demoralized workforce. Thus, corporations faced a dilemma: how to keep up the morale of the remaining workers. The answer? Positive thinking. Since the ‘80’s and…

Bob Marley once said, "Don't worry about a thing because every little thing is going to be all right child." The words of legend Bob Marley speaks wisdom into our souls with music that good things never come to negative people. So leave everything in the hands of God. Negativity poisons the soul like a venomous snake. Positivity is the key to living a successful life. What does it mean to remain positive? If you ever get a bad grade on a test instead of getting mad, go home and study so you can be prepared for the next test. When you fall do not lay there and pout, you get back up and try again. A positive attitude is continuing to push and think positive when you have fallen and think your are done. Good karma and success comes having…
Both negative and positive experiences shape a person to be who he or she is. However, the impacts of these two experiences are debated. Some people would argue that negative experiences have a harmful effect on how individuals become better people in life. They may become jaded and forfeit their right to optimism. However, negative experiences actually have a more positive impact than positive experiences on how people become better because those experiences can be reflected upon and one can learn and change to develop and argue for morally right positions, such as fighting for the right to a proper education, freedom to participate in group activities regardless of the person, and protection from corrupt, evil humans.…
In contrast, positive reframing (i.e. trying to see things in a more positive light, looking for something good in what happened), acceptance and humour coping had positive effects on satisfaction: the more students used these coping strategies in dealing with failures, the more satisfied they felt at the end of the day.…
Good things come to those who have positive thoughts. Having a positive attitude can benefit a person in multiple ways. For instance, being positive can help a person have a better work ethic.Being optimistic can result in better outcomes, people who are positive can pose as good role models for those with negative thoughts, and having a positive outlook can help one achieve their goals.…
A positive attitude helps me to cope more easily with the daily affairs of life. A positive attitude can bring optimism into one’s life, making it easier to avoid failure. If it is adopted as a way of life, it will bring constructive changes into my life as well as the lives of others making us happier, brighter, and more successful through inspiration. With my positive attitude I see the brighter side of life, becoming optimistic and always expecting the best to happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth developing and strengthening. My own positive outlook can greatly benefit my community mentally, physically and emotionally.…
In 8th grade it is often the case that when someone is bullied and thus unhappy or someone that is just being grumpy, that they need someone to talk to so they can ‘unload’ some of the negativity they are carrying. When someone has gotten compliments from an action the person feels good about it and this will be easily visible to other people and then the people that see this will almost always sense some positive ‘aura’ around the person that is positive or a person that has gotten a compliment. The people that have seen this will then begin feeling a positive warmth within them. So optimism is a sort of energy that can easily be passed on from person to person. Negativity will usually repel other people. But people feeling optimistic will often try to transmit their positivity to the negative people. This is an ‘opposites attract’ situation.…
To confirm that positive thinking works you should look at your friends. It’s almost a fact that everybody has a friend that’s always happy or that's always brings out something good of a bad situation, then compare that person with another person that doesn’t live life that way, and look if that way of thinking make a difference. You will see that the positive one live happier, I don’t say that she/he doesn’t has problems, of course they have but they don’t allow it to overwhelm them. I personally think that why I have to waste my time thinking about something that can’t be changed, if I could spend that time in other productive things. In general, to live better people should try to stop criticizing, to laugh a lot!, and first of all to forgive, these things take away from you a great…
