  1. Winners vs Losers To understand that individuals can control their attitudes and actions by choosing their self-talk (thoughts)

  2. Objective: • To identify how negative thoughts lead to the loser’s position. • To identify how positive thought lead to the winner’s position. • To differentiate between winners’ and losers choices.

  3. Event + Response = What you get • What you get, what happens to you is a result of actions you take. • Your actions are a result of your feelings or attitudes. • Your feelings or attitudes are a result of your vocabulary, the words you use orally land silently (self-talk). • What vocabulary you use is a choice you make

  4. Winners vs Losers “Saying that winners choose positive thoughts and self-talk, does not let us know HOW they do that, because we all know that it is not always an easy choice to make.

  5. Winners do 3 things: • First, they recognize that every situation has a positive and negative aspect. • Second, they recognize that there are always more positive aspects than negative. • Third, they pick out the positives and concentrate self-talk on these.

  6. Knowing those three steps, how do you think losers end up in a negative position?” “We are going to examine a few actual situations to see how people go through the steps of choosing the thoughts they will have. These will illustrate how, based on what they think, people end up either losers or winners. We will look twice at each situation; as a loser and then as a winner.” Winners vs Losers
