Module 3: Keep Things In Perspective
• Outcome: Participants to be more aware of
• Be aware that inner dialogue can influence one’s perception of events positively as well
as negatively, and has a direct effect on one’s response and mood.
• Realize that they have a choice in how to respond to events that make them feel
uncomfortable;
• Acknowledge that they have the ability to steer inner dialogue to get the most out of
positive situations and deal with uncomfortable situations.

• Understand that having the right information and communicating effectively has an
important influence on safety behaviour.
The Internal Dialogue
• This module focuses on
internal dialogue,
becoming more aware of
it and its
influence during times
when we are put in
uncomfortable situations
• Internal Dialogue is
likened in Cartoons as
Angels and Devils on you
shoulders
The Internal Dialogue
• We will learn techniques

on how to steer the
internal dialogue to a
positive direction
The Internal Dialogue Samples
• When the pen is not near you
• “Where is my pen? It was just here. I

always put them in the same place. The
OJTs must have took them. They are not
asking permission! They have no respect
for my things and me. I will scold them
later. “
• OR
• “Oh, now I Remember, I put my pen in my
bag this morning.”
The Internal Dialogue Samples

can make us
FRUSTRATED and Draw
NEGATIVE conclusions.
• Or reflect back with a
clearer and more
POSITIVE point of View
