Mad, unkind or sad thoughts

1 Comment

Did you know every time you have a mad thought, an unkind thought, a sad
thought, or cranky thought, your brain releases negative chemicals that
make your body feel bad. Whenever you’re upset, imagine that your brain
releases bubbles with sad or angry faces, looking to cause problems.

Think about the last time you were mad. What feelings did you have inside
your body? When most kids are mad, their muscles get tense, their heart
beats faster, their hands start to sweat and they may even begin to feel
a little dizzy. Your body reacts to every negative thought you have.

Think about that.

“Everything we say needs to be good and helpful so our words are encouraging to the children who hear them.”

    Hi Catherine,

    You made a strong case for positivity with your blog. You pointed out to us that
    negative thoughts create a negative reaction with in the body.So it’s easy to jum to the conclusion that positives will do the opposite.
    Sure makes you feel badly for kids who don’t grasp this and suffer as a result of other childrens’ negativity ( or adult negativity). That puts a real onus on us who do understand to take care about this, especially with children and extra especially with kids who are fighting with a medical problem such as ADHD.

    Thanks for the reminder Catherine.
