Mental Health and Well-being
Mayville School District Pupil Service Team
Tip of the week - 5/11-5/15
Grades 6-12 activity
Yin and Yang
Make a list of things that bother you about yourself. Next to each thing, write something positive about that quality or trait. If you write down “short” you might write “makes me very sneaky” next to it. If you write “curly hair’ you might write “some people have to spend hours curling theirs!” beside it. If you write “not funny” you could write “neither was Benjamin Franklin and he got plenty of awesomeness done” across from it.
Reflection Questions:
Was it easier to think of the things that bother you or the positive things? Why?
Work to make it a habit to counter all the negative thoughts that pop into your head with a positive one.
Family character dare
Their Thing
Offer to spend time with a family member doing something that you know means a lot to them. For example, playing chess with grandpa or learning the new video game your student loves. Even though it might not be interesting to you, investing in other people’s interests is a great way to have them feel appreciated and validated.
