We often hear that people who are more positive towards life are also more successful in their lives. Positive thinking can be taught from an early age, so schools are a more than accurate institution to do so. Many students are likely to face their responsibilities mainly with a negative perspective. Bellow, I will expose two benefits that thinking positively can offer to students.
Firstly, positive emotions can help us to struggle with stress. It is said that stress is actually a useful reaction when we have to face danger- a big animal, for instance – and thus allowing us to fight or scape. Unfortunately, our “fight mode” tends to activate when we have to sit for an exam or to give an oral presentation. Conversely, thinking positively enables us to consider other options when it comes to tackle with difficulties, and do not perceive them as a threat.
Secondly, as a consequence of what was stated above, without stress in the way, positivism can boost productivity. It increases energy, helps to work better in teams, make us to be a better problem solver. All these skills are required to enhance student’s performance at school.
To sum up, it is undoubtedly that the major and most immediate benefit for students to positive thinking is the relief of stress. Consequently, other advantage can be shown as an increase of academic productivity.



It's challenging to get students thinking positively about learning sometimes. When you're young and impressionable you're experiencing a multitude of sensations and experiences you don't always understand. Being a student is tough, so struggling with learning can seem like the end of the world.

As teachers, you're in a unique position to guide your students through more than just the day's lesson. You're helping them learn to manage life lessons and skills for long-term success. Additionally, you're teaching them that useful failure is a real thing. Ultimately, the whole idea of teaching is to teach your students not to need you anymore.

Once they leave us they should go forth knowing they can succeed and thrive using what we've taught them. In order to do this, we must ensure they are lifelong learners. That means we must get students thinking positively about not just learning but also about failing and trying again.
