Post Original Discussion
1. Discuss your results in the Positive Thinking Discussion Forum available as a link in this folder.

3. Your ORIGINAL POST on the Positive Thinking Questionnaire should include the information listed below. We recommend that you create your discussion in Microsoft Word, spell check it, check the grammar. Be careful how you type it. This is not an instant or text message. It’s a college-level writing assignment. Use proper punctuation and capitalization! You will be graded on spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization in addition to the content. You will also be graded on the number of words (quantity) and critical thinking and analysis (quality) of your work and on the inclusion of all the required information. The required information is contained below:
1. What was your test score and how do you feel about it?
2. Analyze your results and list the possible reframes that you can use to turn around any negative thinking that may apply to you. Support your analysis with research from your reading of the textbook or external sources.
3. Has completing this exercise changed your ideas about positive thinking, negative thinking, frames and reframing?
4. Your opinion on this assignment: was the assignment helpful to you?
5. What did you learn from this assignment and how can you use reframing to improve your attitude?
