The Problem: Having a brain injury or medical setback is hard. And scary. But somehow that person needs to find a way to see the positive aspects of recovery.

The Solution:The Positive Thinking Cards were created as an inexpensive but thoughtful tool for patients to take with them as often as needed. They are patient-centered and include sayings or reflections that the patient can meditate on or put as a visual reminder.

How I Use The Positive Thinking Cards:

Step 1: Print. So many options for these cards! My favorite is printing in color on cardstock paper (I’ve tried white, ivory, metallic silver). From the download, print in Landscape and Multiple for notecard size.

Step 2: Give a card to someone who needs it. I found this adorable vase at Target (only $4 on clearance by me!) to display the cards in my office. If you want to print the same label I used for my vase, here it is: Positive Thinking Card Box Label

*BONUS: These also work really well as a Discharge Session token–you can write a quick personalized note on the back for the patient!

Let’s spread some cheer with the Positive Thinking Cards today!

The Evidence Shows: Positive Thinking during brain recovery helps patients make a better recovery.

This Means That: Patients may have more success in therapy if we educate them and explore how they can maintain a focus on the positive aspects of recovery! The Positive Thinking Cards may be a start!
