1. MODULE 2: DAY 7
POSITIVE ATTITUDE & SELF
CONFIDENCE

2. OBJECTIVES OF THE TOPIC
 Trainees must learn the significance of positive attitude
and confidence
 Trainees must develop an actual assessment of them to
develop confidence

3. 5 STEPS TO COVER THE TOPIC
Step 1: What is Attitude?
 Attitude is the reaction or response to any situation
either physical or observational, based on reactions
of our Mind (Head) and Emotions (Heart)
 Mind contains information or actual details, and
emotions are the ways we feel about that
information.

4. Example: On seeing a Black T-Shirt, one may consider it
as:
 Just a Black t-shirt = Neutral Attitude (considering the thing
based on mind or factual information)
 Wonderful Black t-shirt = Positive Attitude (If the person likes
black color or have positive emotions towards black color)
 Ridiculous Black t-shirt = Negative Attitude (If the person don’t
like black color or have negative emotions towards black color)

5. Step 2: How positive attitude helps you out?
 Whenever a person looks at any situation, event or
person with a positive attitude, she/he focuses over the
best part. And, this in turn, keep you happy, when happy
you are motivated and energized and could do whatever
you want.
 And, if you focus over what is missing or lacking, she/he
feels bad, and loses energy over what cannot be
changed, in that particular situation.

6. Step 3: What is the difference between attitude
and confidence?
 Attitude is externally directed, towards
things/events/persons other than you.
 Confidence is internally directed how are you, exactly.

7. Step 4: What is Confidence?
 When you look at yourself using the information of your
mind and emotions of your heart it is Confidence.
Example: On seeing yourself or thinking about yourself,
you may consider yourself as:

8.  A person having some good qualities and some
drawbacks = Confidence (You assess what you are
exactly)
 You focus over what you lack = Under Confidence (You
assess yourself based on your negative points only)
 You focus over what you have = Over Confidence (You
assess yourself based on your positive points only)

9. ACTIVITY: I AM… I CAN… I WILL
 Objective: To make trainees analyze what good
qualities or strengths they have and what all they
could achieve in their lives.
 Group Size: Individual activity, wherein, every
trainee has to mark their responses by writing it
down
 Time Distribution:
Description of Activity & setting rules- 5 minutes
Activity I Am..I Can..I Will- 10 minutes
Discussion- 15 minutes

10.  Material: Paper, Pen, Sketches
 Description:
 Powerful positive thinking is self talk that encourages and
promotes healthy thought process.
 It is valuable because people tend to be quick to talk about
what they believe to be their negative qualities.
 And thus thinking in terms of what positive qualities one has
and what he/she can do or achieve instills a continual
feeling of positivity and self confidence.

11.  Begin a discussion about the difference between positive
and negative self talk.
 Ask each trainee to talk about a time they accomplished
something they are proud of.
 When everyone has their turn ask them to write down
their qualities which helped them in achieving the same.

12.  Ask trainees to write down their responses to following:
I Am (A statement of who they are)
I Can (A statement of what they can do)
I Will (A Statement of self belief, What they think they will
surely achieve)
 When they are all finished, invite everyone to share their
powerfully positive thinking statements with the group.
 Encourage participants to place the cards in their rooms, on
their mirrors, in their diaries and read it every now and then.
 The statements could de decorated using colors, if time
allows.

13.  Discussion points:
 Why do people often struggle with talking about
their positive qualities?
 What are some ways you can combat your
negative thinking with positive thinking?
 How will you use what you have learned today?
