Connect Your Ideas

Michael thinks positively even when he has to live with something he

doesn’t like. Think about something you don’t like, and explain why

and how you can be positive about it.

Example I don’t like tidying my room on weekends. I want to play.

However, I might step on something and hurt my foot if my

room is messy. Also, my parents are very happy with me when I

can help them by doing chores.

Your Own I don’t like doing homework every day. It’s so boring!

However, my mom lets me play video games if I finish

my homework early. Therefore, I tell myself that after I

finish, my reward is having time to play my favorite game.
