What you SAY to yourself becomes like a script- repeating itself again and again in your brain! Today let’s talk about how our thoughts determine our attitudes.

If you have a negative attitude, you might think ______(i.e. I don’t like them anyway. They always get mad!)? (2) Your friend is learning how to ride a bike and keeps falling.
