So you need lesson plans on positive thinking, huh? Here is a positive thinking lesson plan your students can partake in. By taking part in this activity they will be able to see how their thoughts can affect the way they feel. They will also learn that if they respond to situations with more positive thoughts, they will be able to manage their emotions more effectively.
First tell them to ask themselves this question. What happened? Let just say, you went to an acting audition and got cut. Negative thoughts would be, I really suck at this I am never going to try again. The resulting feelings are frustration sadness and disappointment. Positive or neutral thoughts would be, I guess I need to practice and I can not gain every job from every acting audition. They are disappointed however still hopeful and determined.
Explain to the students that because of the negative thoughts they got the resulting feelings and tell them that different more positive thoughts can give them a different set of feelings. Next make the students work in groups and tell them to list negative situations in their own personal lives and how they can find the positive in each of those situations.
The more that your students practice these skills, the more likely they are to apply them to their own personal lives. When they are done in their groups ask the students to share their different answers.
Here are some of the other questions that can be asked:
- How do thoughts trigger our feelings?
- Who is in control of our thoughts?
- Who is in control of our feelings?
- Why can two people have two different feelings positive or negative about the same situation that they were confronted with?,
- Why does it seem like negative thoughts are more likely to be thought of than those positive or neutral thoughts?
- How do we benefit from having positive thoughts as appose to negative?
The questions above are just a few of the more important questions you can use for your lesson plans on positive thinking. Different combinations of the questions can therefore be used for different lessons and help with positive thinking in various situations.
