- I pledge to make the decision to be 'positive' in my attitude to my own life and to those people I have contact with. Specifically, to make an acknowldegement how a conscious decision to have a positive attitude to your and other people's life challenges can have an impact on your relative stress and anxiety levels and have an impact on others. Examples of actions I will pledge to do is to handle confrontational situations in a more calm, less negative way. To put more emphasis upon the positives in my life, and where possible put emphasis on other people's positives. (the classic glass is half full analogy) It is hoped the above change of attitude will have a positive impact upon my general stress levels and will allow me to have some influence on others. In general, 'being happy' is a decision that you can make or not make as individual. If you do make the postive decision it can have significant health benefits to you and could have an impact on others...., John Hague
