Taking Charge of Your Attitude
Why Thinking Matters
Your thoughts influence:
Your actions
Your results
The A-B-C Model (page 2 diagram)
A — Activating Event
What happens
B — Belief / Thought
How you interpret it
C — Consequence
Your actions and feelings
Key Insight
It’s not the event that drives behavior.
It’s your interpretation of it
Example
Event: Bad weather cancels plans
Negative thinking → stay home + overeat
Positive thinking → adapt + stay active
Changing the Pattern
- Notice your thoughts
- Question them
- Replace them with helpful ones
Big Takeaway
Change your thinking → change your behavior
