I have a positive thought counter/clicker...thing. Anyways, during the day, if I have a positive thought or a happy thought, I click the counter and just count my happy thoughts. A couple of the girls I worked with had one of these and I was so jealous! I finally got one about a month ago and I love it!
Now, before I tell you what my ASL teacher said about it, I have to tell you a little bit about him. He is deaf which makes the class a lot more fun and for someone who is silent during class, he sure is the most sarcastic person I know! He has a unique personality that matches his sense of humor. Anyways, when he first saw my positive thought counter, he just laughed and laughed. After he was finished, he asked me if I worked at Walmart as a greeter and counted the people as they walk in.....I just shook my head. Then he asked me if I was like Peter Pan; the more I click, the longer I fly type thing. At this point, the whole class was in on it and thought it quite hilarious but after he just said that it was a good idea and he wished everyone had as many positive thoughts as I did. He then took my counter and shook it above his head and closed his eyes. Yes, he was trying to see if the Peter Pan theory worked. He had a look of disappointment and tossed it back to me.
This counter has really helped me turn my bad days into good days and my good days into even better days! Oh how I love to click away. I find that once I start clicking, I just continue to click like a mad woman because one happy thought leads to another.
Another cool story about my clicker is how well it works with little kids. I volunteer at a therapeutic preschool and the class I work with a group of 4 and 5 year old children. These children will sometimes throw tantrums for no reason, suddenly cry, or just make big deals out of nothing. I always tell them that if they make a big deal that day, they won't get to click my counter. Talk about success! Of course I don't just let them click it for no reason; before they click it (and I only let them click it once per day) they have to tell me their happy thought. The way children think is so profound, simple, and adorable that I have to click it after just because of their happy thoughts.
I recommend that everyone get a positive thought counter and always keep it with you. You might be surprised at how positive you're thinking on a daily basis.
This is where I ordered mine!
