Today was a great day!! We did a name game in all but B8 to try and learn our classmates names better. Then we had a white board discussion about Coping Strategies. We all have to "cope" or deal with things in life. Our goal is to discover which healthy strategies work for us, and to recognize unhealthy ones. Some healthy ones we came up with were: driving, play video games, talking to someone about our problem, journaling, meditate, listening to music that suits our mood, exercising, etc. Some unhealthy ones would be excessive video games, excessive netflixing, using depressing or unsavory social media. We could over eat, over sleep, isolate, ruminate (think about our problems too much in our head) use drugs, act out sexually, even cutting. When we see those we know using unhealthy coping strategies we should ask ourselves "Wow, what are they going through? What has happened? What pain are they trying to avoid or make go away?" Then maybe we can be more compassionate and help them rather than to judge them. We did a Calm Mediation for about 10 minutes. We also watched a video about how to change someone's mind. I handed out Human Sexuality Permission Slips. Your Personality Collages are due either physically or digitally by Friday. I also had you go into Canvas and write 2 paragraphs telling me either what you have already learned in my class or what you would be interested in learning in my class this semester!!
