Page 18 - SB-Woolly Whiners

Where do you whine the most, at school or at home? Whichever it is, that is where you have the most Stinky Thinking. It is very seldom that you are asked to do something or not do something just because someone else wants to be mean to you. Usually, there is a good reason (based on Good Thinking) for the request.
But you can use Stinky Thinking to turn any request into something that can cause you to become angry. Would you please get yourself some chocolate ice cream. If you tell yourself, Why do I always have to get myself the ice cream? or Why is it always chocolate? you will get angry.
You may say, Why is it always my turn to get everyone ice cream? or I don’t want chocolate. I want strawberry. That may sound like pretty typical responses for a lot of you reading this story. But remember, you were not asked to get ice cream for anyone except yourself.
And, there may only be chocolate ice cream in the house. Your Stinky Thinking has caused to you whine and now you may not get any ice cream.
