I am confident that you got all of the answers correct. The important thing is not that our answers are identical but rather that you are understanding that if you control how you think about a situation, you can control how you feel and how you act.
In this second exercise, I want you to pretend that you are Jeff and I want you to succeed where Jeff failed. To succeed, you will need to change his Stinky Thinking into Good Thinking. When you have done that, you will realize how changing your thinking about something also changes your feelings and behaviors.

4. How would he act when he felt this way?
