Dr. Daniel Amen wrote a book by the title listed in the subject line. He says that we have ANTS. That is Automatic Negative Thoughts and we choose to accept or reject them. If we reject it diminishes our stress, if we accept...well you know the answer.
Life gives us many challenges --with each choice
brings many consequences...
need to have plan A,B, C
we also need to practice TPI so that we all can remind each other of positivism and affirm one another.
recently with all the PA floods --many are asking WHY?

Ha! What a wonderful outlook Erin. Thanks so much for sharing. Yes, crisis can certainly be perceived as an adventure. As for many other things in life, our outlook often frames how we perceive and handle stress.
Sometimes I have to slow down and really look at how I am reacting to a situation. I do have some automatic responses that are not helpful.
Once another instructor and I found ourselves in a very difficult situation at our school and he said we have to keep positive. Then he asked, "What is the difference between a crisis and an adventure?" I knew what he was getting at and said, "Our perception?" He smiled it helped us manage our "adventure".
