Term paper blog entry # 3

The techniques in the book are fairly simple in concept. Think positive and your can over come. Though applying this philosophy to a worried mind that over thinks and over reacts is much harder than it sounded on paper. I am attempting to think of the good in every situation. To stay strong in mind when drama and chaos are a foot.For example; My husband's hours completed to hours attempted has made him exempt from financial aid and student loans but he graduates this semester. We are struggling to pay the bill and make ends meet, right now. I try very hard to stay positive and tell my self that this is only temporary. In December he will graduate and start to work and "all our problems financially" will go away. Positive thinking is not a big help when the bill collectors are at the door, so I think " a lot of good a positive mind is if it doesn't pay the bills or relieve a bit of stress." I often remind myself that this will soon pass and the stress that I not only bring myself but to my family is wasted on things I can only wait out. Changing my train of thought to improve my rational living status.
