Positive Thinking
Are you a POSITIVE person? Are you a POSITIVE thinker? Not everyone believes in the power of positive thinking, but it’s guaranteed to get you further and help you become more successful. Thinking positively takes more than simply having consistent good thoughts. On some level, it also means retraining the way you think. Below are four words or phrases that get in the way of positive thinking.
1. “I Can’t” — There’s a famous quote about that word. “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t you are correct.” It’s truly important that you try to eliminate this word from your vocabulary. It gets in the way of accomplishing your goals. Using this excuse or saying this too often forces it to become your reality.
2. “It’s My Right” — Of course we all have rights in this world, but this isn’t referring to legalities or the constitution. It’s referring to a feeling of entitlement you begin to have over other people. This causes self-centeredness and arrogance. Think in terms of “I have earned an opportunity” as opposed to “it’s my right”.
3. “I Must” — This phrase can add a lot of negative pressure or stress. Instead, try making a to-do list and make the time to get things accomplished. This way, your “I must” list turns into a “to-do” list which creates a positive process and positive thinking.
4. “It’s Not Fair!” — “Why me” — These phrases are negative and imply that you’re unhappy with your place in life or your circumstances. We can’t always be happy, but having a negative attitude keeps us from making positive changes or seeing the silver lining in a negative situation. Changing your words and thoughts will make you happier.
Here are a few words, phrases and suggestions that can help you in your quest for POSTIVE THINKING!
1. Say “I can” and “I will”.
2. Use the phrase “What a great opportunity to … ”.
3. Smile.
4. Gossip less and focus on the good in others — don’t let others negative become your positives.
5. Eat healthy and exercise because when we feel better and look better we think better.

Father’s Day is considered a modern holiday celebration. It originated
just after the 19th century as a contribution to fathers and father figures. There are many different ways to celebrate fathers. Some people give or send cards to their fathers, while some arrange special events. Common gifts include clothing, sports items, household tools, electronic gadgets and more.
Occasion for All Fathers From large parties to simple greetings, anything can be done in honor of your
father. Father’s Day is celebrated for not only fathers, but stepfathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and father in-laws. This day is rapidly approaching, falling on the 3rd Sunday of June. Plan something great for your father!
Honoring Fathers This is an essential festival dedicated to honoring the most respectable member
of your family. A father is important to a family unit. Children depend greatly on their fathers for many reasons. For girls, a father is the man they adore while for sons, a father is the man they aspire to be.
Traditionally, a father’s role is to guide and provide for his family while a mother nurtures. However, in this day and age, a father also nurtures his family. This cultural change has strengthened the father-child relationship immensely.
Show your gratitude and acknowledge the contributions of your father. Plan in advance and surprise him with something unique this year!
In honor of our dojo fathers, we would like to extend an invitation to our Father’s
Day Workouts on Monday, June 10th and Wednesday, June 12th. For more information and to sign up see Bridget!
