Did You Know?

By cultivating self-awareness, we learn to accept the full spectrum of our emotions, thoughts and experiences as part of who we truly are.

What?

An activity that nurtures self-awareness by encouraging participant(s) to voice their emotions, experiences and insights.

Why?

Building self-awareness increases one’s ability to accurately recognize the influence that personal thoughts and emotions have on behavior. As emotional literacy strengthens, participants can more accurately assess their strengths and limitations.

How?

  • Lead five mindful breaths to anchor the participant(s) attention in the present moment.
  • Choose a question from the suggested list of conversation starters to catalyze the discussion.
  • Each conversation starter serves as one 10-minute activity.
