You Are Special By: Max Lucado
“You’re special just because. No qualifications necessary.”
Self - Concept Circle • The person I think I am. • The person others think I am. • The person others think I think I am. As I See Myself Other’s Reactions To Me My Actions As Others See Me
Positive Self-Concept I can do anything I really want to do. I have definite strengths and abilities. I am an okay person. I see myself as being as good as my friends. There are many ways to solve a problem.
Characteristic of Negative Self-Concept I am not nearly as good as my friends. Why try? I could never do it anyway. I am a jerk. I cannot do anything right. I knew my plans would not work.
Building Self Esteem • Associate with people who build. • Build others, sincere compliments. • Set and achieve goals. • Eat correctly, look your best. • Observe self-confident people. • Ask for help. • Improve yourself, learn something new. • Do not say negative things about yourself. Think positively.
“Rest in Peace: The I Can’t Funeral” • List your “I can’t” characteristics on a sheet of paper. • Add things your parents say you do wrong. • Add things others say you do wrong. • How do you feel? • Shred your paper (RIP) • Treat yourself in honor of the occasion. (I’m glad I’m me!) “The decision you make to love yourself is the most important decision you will ever make.”
