Intro: When we practice self-awareness we develop the ability to acknowledge and identify our emotions. Occasionally those emotions that we acknowledge and identify are difficult emotions. Emotions like sadness, anxiousness, even feelings of depression. At times in the past, there was a stigma associated with acknowledging, identifying, and being open about experiencing tough emotions. Some people even saw it as a sign of weakness. Things are thankfully changing now. We're starting to see difficult emotions for what they are, a part of life that we all experience. When we share these feelings we put ourselves in a better position to address and manage these emotions. Leading the charge to being open and honest about tough emotions is NBA superstar DeMar DeRozan. He used to fight feelings of anxiety and depression in silence. He now acknowledges and shares his struggles in an open and honest way, and he's helping both himself and others by sharing his story. Let's hear from DeMar.
Questions for students:

Share your thoughts on DeMar's commitment to mental health awareness. Why is this an important undertaking?

DeMar mentioned that he had a hard time opening up and sharing his struggles with difficult emotions. Why do you think DeMar, and people in general have a hard time talking about mental health?

Should people feel embarrassed or ashamed if they find themselves in a struggle with difficult emotions? Why or why not?

What are some things that we can do to help ourselves if we find ourselves feeling down, anxious, or struggling with a personal issue?

Responsible Decision Making: Compounding A Mistake

Responsible Decision Making: Compounding A Mistake

# data[].attributes.body
Intro: We strive to have a strong responsible decision making practice. We want to make good choices 100% of the time. With that said, we know that we can't be perfect, and poor decisions and mistakes will be made. So what do we do when we make a mistake? Do we double down on that initial poor decision, compounding our mistake? Or do we take a step back, analyze our choices to determine where we went wrong, and redirect our actions in a more responsible way. Hopefully you choose the latter. When we compound our mistake or poor choice, we often make a bad situation worse. We have an example of a compounding mistake in today's video. Watch as an initial bad decision is compounded, turning a bad situation into something much, much, worse.
Questions for students:

Let's try to break down the decision making process of this driver. How did this situation go from bad to worse? What was this driver thinking?

Let's take it from the initial mistake, driving a truck that was too tall into a garage with a low clearance. What could have been done after that initial mistake to avoid the "carnage" that followed?

Let's talk about you. Have you ever had a compounding mistake? A string of poor decisions that made a situation go from bad to worse? What happened? What did you learn from that situation? How can you avoid something like that in the future.

Relationship Skills: Hard Working Son Buys His Dad a New Truck

# data[].attributes.body
Intro: How do you let people know that you care? A key relationship skill is being able to show care for the people that you're close to. We can do this in a lot of different ways and we'll talk about how you show that you care in a bit. But first, we're going to take a look at a video where a hard working son buys his hard working Dad a new truck. It's a pretty cool video and I think it gives us a great example of how to let a loved one know that they're cared for. Take a look.
Questions for students:

Share your thoughts on the video. How do you think the dad felt? How do you think the son felt? How did it make you feel to watch it?

Who's someone in your life that you care for? If you could give this person a life changing gift what would that gift be?

We're not in the position to be buying trucks for anyone but we still can show that we care. How do show your loved ones that you care for them?

Intro: Social-awareness: the abilities to understand the perspectives of and empathize with others including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We have a video today that lives up to this definition. A diverse group of young kids, recognizing and empathizing with the struggle of a teammate, come together to help him out. These kids took a difficult situation and turned it into a memorable and inspiring moment. They were amazing teammates and ultimately thats what social awareness is, being a good teammate to the people in your community. Take a look at the video.
Questions for students:

Share your thoughts on the video.

What emotions did you experience watching the video?

What emotions do you think the kids in the video experienced?

What can we learn from the kids in this video about our own social-awareness practice?
