Mental Health Tip
Rational Thinking Changes How We Feel
(for the better-by golly!)
Your Self-Help Guide to a Healthier and Happier Life
The" way we interpret events has a powerful impact on the way
wc ieei ana me way we benave.
Example: When you hear a siren-
I hear a fire truck passing." Rational thought evokes
concern.
"I hear a fire truck passing and my house may be on fire
irrational tnougnt tnat evokes tear...
Stop Self-Sabotage
The 1st step: When you are having negative feelines. look for
tne tnougnt tnat may be lurking in the background. When vou
find your mood changes, when you suddenly discover that you
are angry or anxious, do an instant replay. What was going
tnrougn your mind, what were you saying to yourself that could
have caused the change in mood? Watch out for these common
distortions which may be reigning over your feelings.
All-or-Nothing thinking. Either the situation is right or it':
wrong and there's nothing in between. If your careless driving
I ! 1 . at . - .. . .
rcsuus in a car accident, you blame yourselt as being totally
incompetent.
Jumping to conclusions. You have one bit of evidence (vour
tai wuii i siau, lor instance;, ana you jump to tne conclusion that
the day is going to be a never-ending pattern of bad events.
Mind reading. In this type of distortion, vou assume vou know
- I . 1 1 , .
wnai anotner person is tninKing about you. and vou almost
always assume those thoughts are unkind.
Catastrophizmg." You take a situation and vou blow it out of
proportion. You say, lor example, "I forgot to mail the monthlv
payment. The bank is going to auction off my home." Think how
much easier life would be if you said to yourself. "Okav. so
forgot to mail the mortgage payment; I'll take care of it right
away.
'Awfulizing." "I'll never be able to make new friends in the
new city and that will be awful."
Mental filtering, You take an experience, filter out the positive
things about it and let only the negative things through.
l ne tyranny ot -snouids.' Also called "the lallacv of fairness' or
snouiding on yourselt. 1 his distortion is based on the bel ef that
things 'should be fair. My boss 'shouldn't' treat me that wav.

uvcrgenerauzing. au oi tne neignbors don t like me all ot the

Crystall-balling." "I know our vacation will be a disappoint
ment."
Hunt these distortions down in your thought patterns. Get in
the habit of answering negative thoughts through the following
exercise:
Divide a sheet of paper in half. Write the negative thought on the
en nand side, counter the irrational statement with a rational
statement that will evoke a feeling that you can deal with.
IRRATIONAL RATIONAL
I like that person and heshe "I like that Derson and want
hould like me." himher to like me."

You can change how you feel if you own your own feelings!

Unkind words
can hurt
They believe what you tell them
about themselves. "Helpful,"
"Creativc"and "Curious"are build
ing words. Unkind words like bad
or stupid tear children down and
teach them that they just aren't
good enough.

This summer. Chapter I, a fed
erally funded supplementary
educational program, offered a
four week reading program for
first, second and third grade stu
dents. Classes were held in the
mornings so the kids could enjoy
summer afternoons but the morn
ings were filled with hard work for
the students.
Teacher Carol Bailey helped
students develop their reading and
retention skills through exercises.
Throughout the month long ses
sion, young students read stories,
wrote stories and listened to sto
ries. They also learned to read
instructions necessary for making
snacks during the day.
According to Bailey attendance
has been "great," more than she
had expected. And the students
showed many successes in increas
ing their reading skills.

The Greenhouse Effect
Sunlight passes through the at
mosphere and warms the earth's
surface. The earth then radiates
infrared energy, but trace gases
and water vapor absorb part of the
infrared radiation. The gases then
emit some of the radiation back to
earth, further warming the surface.
This warming of the surface air is
known as the greenhouse effect.
Scientists project that increased
emissions of greenhouse gases will
warm the earth rapidly. Climate
change in 50 to 100 years could be
as great as the change over the last
10,000 years. Climate models esti
mate the world risks a 3 F to 8 F
warming. Such a rapid increase in
temperature would disrupt natural
and social systems. However, there
is uncertainty regarding how much
and how quickly the climate will
warm. We do not have scientific
predictions of change for the re
gion or the state.
The gases that are ol most con
cern are carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and chlorofluoro-
carbons (CFCs). Carbon dioxide
contributes 70 to 80 percent of the
potential warming. Americans con
tribute about five times as much
carbon as the world average per
capita.
Oregon's Contribution
Oregon adds most to global
warming by burning fossil fuels,
which creates carbon dioxide. Ore
gon generates about 40 million
tons a year of carbon dioxide from
all sources. Transportation contri
butes the largest share of carbon
dioxide, about 53 percent. Oregon
has no CFC manufacturers. Ap
portioning U.S. use on a per capita
basis, Oregon accounts for about 9
million pounds of CFCs. The
largest amount of methane for
Oregon from human activity comes
from the cattle and other rumi
nants we raise. Natural gas use and
landfills are also important. Hu
man activity generates more than
200,000 tons of methane a year in
Oregon.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
Water
Changes in climate will change
the amount and distribution of
water in the state. Such changes
would affect municipalities, for
ests, agriculture, fish and wildlife,
recreation, and the state economy.
Changes in precipitation, cloud
cover, wind, temperature, and
ocean currents could fundamental
ly alter historic storm patterns in
the Northwest. There could be
higher rates of evaporation from
soil, lakes, and streams. If Ore
gon's climate becomes warmer
with less snow pack and drier
summers, the water levels and
flows in streams, lakes, and aqui
fers could decline. Warmer water
could also harm salmon and trout
and cause water quality problems.
Competition for Oregon's water
supplies is increasing regardless of
climate change. Climate change
could further reduce water sup
plies. A water shortage would limit
the state's economic and popula
tion growth and impact irrigated
agriculture, fisheries, and water
based recreation.
tional academic and remedial help
evenings and weekends. According
to Gray, the school is noted for and
emphasizes alcohol and drug edu
cationtreatment, counseling and
guidance, nutritional food service,
modern dormitories with an en
hanced home living environment,
varied cultural and Native Ameri
can activities, diverse athletic pro
grams, and a broad range of inter
esting recreational opportunities.
On September I, 1990, Chem
awa School's Drug and Alcohol
Program was identified and selec
ted as one ot twelve ( 1 2) outstand
ing programs in the Bureau of
Indian Affairs school system. The
program was determined to have
made a positive difference in the
academic, cultural, social and per
sonal lives of the American Indian
students attending Chemawa. As a
Bureau of Indian Affair's Sharing
Excellence Network school, Che
mawa was featured in the Bureau's
Annual "Showcase of Excellence."
Many students have been helped to
overcome their chemical depend
ency and abuse problems through
Chemawa's Drug and Alcohol
Program according to Gray.
A new instructional education
television news network program
(Channel One) will be available for
the students this school year. A
computerized instructional pro
gram, Writer's Workbench, will
also be available for the students.
Two fully equipped computer
laboratories were built and estab
lished for students use beginning
on September I, 1991.
Recreational and leisure activi
ties include skiing, river rafting,
swimming, mountain hiking, camp
ing, attendance at NBA and many
college basketball games, excur
sions to the Pacific coast, and par
ticipation in many clubs, social
events, student banquets, school
barbecues and picnics.
Students, parents, and or guar
