For example, “I’m good, but . . .” “She’s nice, but. . .” “He’s healthy, but . . .” Etc. The first hour includes instruction, followed by the second hour of application and conversation. Barth pioneered her practical system of thinking with a class called, “How to Build a Million Dollar Vocabulary” at The Learning Annex in New York City. In each class, participants learn how to identify the negative thoughts (words) that are adversely affecting their bodies and peace of mind. The only class requirement is an inquisitive and receptive mind. 441269 A 7-9 pm M 1/22 Senior Center Bldg 1, Rm 104 $29 R | $35 NR
