7 How do you define yourself?
Self Circles You are more than one thing. Draw each thing you are in its own circle: your talents, things you enjoy, things you want to work on, next steps, everything. Model For Class Share Exemplars TWPS TPS Which of those circles or the most important to you? Which do you want to hang on to as you become an adult and for your whole life? Which circles would you like to add? Other people will try to define you. They will try to choose which circles you define yourself by. What are some examples you know of when this happens? Don't let them do it. You are the only one who gets to decide who you are. 8 Defining yourself helps you make the right choice. Refer back to Charlotte and Jonathan from 'What does it take to learn how to do something.' How did Charlotte and Jonathan take control of their lives, and after a lot of hard work, define themselves? Watch the sidebar videos. Why do you think people who define themselves are happier (not like laughing and full of joy - but feel better about themselves and their lives)? Why do you think people who define themselves tend to be higher on the levels of moral development? Is it okay to change how you define yourself? The hardest thing is to step back and look at yourself from the outside, from a long term view. Being able to remind yourself to think clearly when you want to impress someone, when you are making a choice, or trying to solve a problem is the key. It does not need to be fancy: just remind yourself to step back and think about what is right and what kind of person you want to be long term. You can even make the decision later, when you are thinking clearly. TPS When are some times that it is important to remember who you are and who you want to be? What can you remember to think about that will help you remember to be who you want to be? What words can you tell yourself that will help you remember to be who you want to be? |
