The Positivity Project (P2): Self-Control
This week in the Positivity Project, students will be learning about self-control.
What It Means?
You have the ability to control your emotions and behaviors. You think before you act.
Why It Matters
For individuals, self-control helps them delay the short-term gain in pursuit of a greater, long-term success.
A group’s ability to demonstrate self-control often appears in the form of “self-monitoring.” This means that individuals demonstrate honesty with one another about successful group practices.
Monday: Holiday Sock Day!
Wear your craziest, coolest, and coziest pair of holiday socks!
Tuesday: Flannel Day
