DSM-5: Will millions more Americans be diagnosed with mental illness? | Yahoo! Health
This is an interesting article. I have not gone to in depth training yet, nor do I have the manual, so I am reserving judgement.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “attitude is everything?” or
“life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we choose to respond to it?” It is
easy to fall into negative thinking and let life happen to us instead of taking
control of our life and choosing to live our life. It is amazing how our lives
can improve dramatically when we choose to have a positive attitude and find
the good in our lives. Yes, bad things will happen to each of us, but we can
choose to move beyond those things and move on to the next moment in life. I
challenge each of you to be more aware of your attitude and to use positive self-talk
to change your attitude and your reactions. One simple technique is to use “thought
stopping.” Thought stopping is simply being aware of our self-defeating and
negative thoughts and making a conscious choice to switch to a positive
thought. Initially some people need a physical reminder to change their thought
processing, such as wearing a rubber band around your wrist and lightly
flicking yourself with it to help switch from negative to positive thoughts.
There are many other simple techniques that you can use to help improve your
life and the social workers at Relive Rehab Group our here to help you learn
about these techniques.
