Wodonga Primary School has these 'BOUNCE BACK' posters on each of their classroom walls. I thought it might be helpful in your teaching - especially yard duty.
Bad times don't last. Things always get better. Stay optimistic.
Other people can help if you talk to them. Get a reality check.
Unhelpful thinking makes you feel more upset.
Nobody is perfect - not you and not others.
Concentrate on the positives (no matter how small) and use laughter.
Everybody experiences sadness, hurt, failure, rejection and setbacks sometimes, They are a normal part of life. Try not to personalise them.
Blame fairly - how much of what happened was because of you, how much was because of others and how much was because of bad luck or circumstances.
Accept the things you can't change but try to change what you can first.
Catastrophising exaggerates your worries. Don't believe the worst possible picture.
Keep things in perspective. It's only one part of your life.
Love it Mel,
ReplyDeleteI might need some more practise applying it to myself though, especially the N, A & K parts!
