I will be on time to school for 3 days this week.
I will read at least one night this week.Over time you can make larger promises
I’m going to stop picking on my brother.
I’m going to stop telling myself I’m ugly, fat, dorky, etc.Slide11
Do Small Acts of Kindness
The best thing to do when you are feeling down is to compliment someone else.
It gets the focus off you and on others.
Go out of your way to include a lonely person at recess or lunch.
Say hello to a new student.
Let someone go through the door before you.Brainstorm at your table…what else can you do for others?Slide12
Be Honest
Be honest with yourself.BE YOU
“Always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of someone else.”
Show honesty through your actions
Are you honest with your friends, parents, teachers, coaches, etc.?Slide13
Renew Yourself
You must make time for yourself to RELAX!Where can you go when you just need time for yourself?
Exercise, walking, running, dancing, painting, singing, write in a journal, etc.Slide14
Time to Reflect…and look at
yourself in the mirror…
How full is your bank account?
How and when will you make deposits into your account?
What promise do you want to make to yourself?
Are you honest with yourself? Parents? Teachers? Friends?
What can you do to renew yourself when you feel overloaded?
