Today in class we talked about self-esteem and self-concept.
We talked about 2 more ways to build our self-esteem:
Self-talk- we watched a clip about a girl giving herself positive self-talk. We talked about how what we say can really make a difference. The positive, the better.
Compliments- We did an activity where we wrote on each others back. Everyone had to compliment each member of the class. You then took your compliments and wrote them in your journal. If someone wrote "you're funny" you then wrote "I'm funny" in your journal. We also read an article about 3 reasons why we need to accept compliments. Article.
We also talked about how our interactions can influence our self-esteem. Positive interactions and negative interactions can affect us. If we have a good self-esteem to start with, the negative interactions won't make our balloon pop! (Balloon activity)
Below is the powerpoint which distinguishes the difference between self-esteem and self-concept.
Remember the 4 ways we build self-esteem:
Try new things, and don't be afraid to fail
Know your true self
Self-talk
Compliments (giving and receiving)
