A value is a principle that guides our thinking and behaviour How does POSITIVITY do this?

A quiet moment of reflection... POSITIVITY

Visualisation to achieve the best outcome.. Sit comfortably, close your eyes and think of a time you did something really well … How did you feel at the time - what did you think, see and hear? Who were you with and how did they react? Now think about something you find challenging, perhaps feeling successful in a test. Or perhaps getting along with people at playtimes. Imagine it going really well and play a movie of this in your mind. In the test you would know all the answers and write them down effortlessly, smiling and celebrating your best score ever. In the playground, you would be laughing and playing games, surrounded with people who wanted to be your friend. When it comes to tricky situations, you can replay the images which may help you achieve the best outcome. 1. Positive thinking using visualisation. Visualisation is a technique that uses the imagination to help us bring what we want in life to fruition. It harnesses the power of our imagination to help us achieve our goals. When sportspeople go out to perform, a lot of the most successful stars imagine themselves winning before the race or match starts. They 'watch' a vivid movie in their mind of them playing brilliantly and winning, the idea being that when they actually go out for real, they mentally hit the play button and their body makes their dream a reality. What really makes this effective is, while playing the video, feeling the feelings you would experience during that winning performance - by making the visualisation rich with sensory memories.

As we reflect, think about how POSITIVITY makes the world a better place to be.

Our aim at Lindfield:- Let us be peaceful at all times. Let our rooms be full of happiness and respect for each other. Let love be in our hearts With kindness and compassion for all. Let us remember In learning together, We grow together And succeed together.

Over the next month, recognise times when you have chosen to be positive…

Be aware of the negative influences around you. Are you allowing these to affect you? If you are – have courage! 16

Work for the BEST outcome! Make it your goal to shine with positivity – even when the going gets tough! Work for the BEST outcome! 17

Sometimes it’s really hard to be positive. You may be tired, busy, poorly, unhappy, worried or even frightened. It’s at these times when you can turn things around if you adopt a positive attitude – but it’s a hard thing to do!
