Think happy Feel happy In the future people

Think happy, Feel happy In the future, people will look back upon this period as a major event in our history. We are so proud of you all for staying at home and staying safe. We know you will have had lots of different feelings during this time, but today we are going to think about POSITIVE THINKING Well, being positive means looking for the good in things, rather than the bad. A positive thinker focuses on making the best of a situation. Positive thinkers are said to ‘look on the bright side’. Every cloud has a silver lining! People think of clouds as grey and grumpy. They block the sunshine and are often full of rain to spoil the day. But lots of people say that even in a grey and grumpy cloud, there is something good (that’s the silver lining). So, when something not-so-good happens, you can usually find something that is good about that situation if you look hard enough.

Happy thoughts This could be something you are looking forward to, or a happy occasion that you were part of. It might be a thought about a particular person or place that makes you feel happy. Happy thoughts can make you feel better. If you THINK HAPPY, you FEEL HAPPY!
