Feeling Good About Yourself
By Jeanne Smith
Health Services Manager
Positive attitudes and high
self-esteem help people feel
good about themselves.
Attitude is anoth
er way of saying
“state of mind.” A
positive attitude is
when you feel enthu
siastic, hopeful and
full of energy. You
try hard to do what’s
expected of you and
often succeed. Even
when things are dif
ficult, you try to do
your best. You set goals for
yourself and try to meet them.
The opposite of a positive
attitude is a negative attitude.
Some people have negative
attitudes occasionally, and
some have them all the time.
These people feel grumpy,
look sloppy, perform carelessly,
and don’t add much that’s good
to work or home. They may
get bored, tired or
discouraged easily.
People with high
self-esteem like them
selves and feel proud
of who they are.
They feel good about
their friendships,
work relationships
and families. They
SMITH that people
usually like them.
They are able to let go of situ
ations they can’t control, but
they take action if it can help.
People with low self-esteem
often were told negative things
about themselves as child
ren. When they grow up, they
need to learn to improve their
self-esteem.
Attitude and self-esteem
work together. If you feel
good about yourself, you’ll
expect to do well. You’ll try
hard because you expect it to
be worth your effort. When
you succeed, it reinforces
both your high self-esteem
and your positive attitude.
The opposite is true, too. If
your self-esteem is low, you
don’t feel that anything you do
will be appreciated. So you don’t
try. When you don’t try, you
don’t do well. Both your self
esteem and your attitude sink.
Improving self-esteem and
attitude takes some effort. Start
with two lists: one, things you
like about yourself and two,
things you don’t like. Include
things like “Fm friendly” on
the first list, and “I put things
off” on the second.
Then, ask two people who
know and like you to help you
add things to the list of things
you like. Your goal is for the
first list to get longer than the
second list.
Next, practice saying the
things you like to yourself
several times each day. It may
help to write them on a card
and leave the card where you
can see it.
Do the same exercise with
your positive and negative
attitudes. Practicing positive
self-esteem and attitudes,
you’ll be a winner on and off
the job!

Credit
Union
Expands
Credit union services
will become available to
additional Adams-Millis
employees in March as
Sara Lee Credit Union
expands to all company
locations.
An Automated Teller
Machine (ATM) will be
installed at the Mount Airy
plant, giving Adams-Millis
its second workplace ATM.
The other ATM is located
at the Barnwell plant, the
only other location with
enough employees to war
rant a terminal.
In addition, membership
in the credit union will be
opened to Adams-Millis
employees at Kernersville
and High Point locations.
Employees who belong to
Members Credit Union can
continue their memberships.
Sara Lee Credit Union
membership is already
available to employees in
Mount Airy and Barnwell.
With a Sara Lee Credit
Union ATM card, members
can use any SLCU 24 ATM
or ATMs worldwide that
display the HONOR, EX
CHANGE or CIRRUS sym
bols. Accounts can be ac
cessed with the card and
a personal identification
number or PIN.
The ATMs may be used to
withdraw funds from your
savings or checking account
or transfer funds between
accounts. Deposits may
be made through direct
deposit of payroll, at a Sara
Lee Credit Union office or
at one of the growing
number of Credit Union
Service Centers. In North
Carolina, service centers
are located in Greensboro,
Winston-Salem, Charlotte
and Durham.
Accounts also can be
accessed at anytime of the
day or night through SLCU

mated telephone service
which allows you to get
immediate and confidential
information, make trans
fers and request savings
withdrawals by check. All
you need is your account
number, PIN and a touch-
tone telephone.
