Every time it gets frustrating

and you're tired of complicating

Don't get into trouble

by thinking on the double

try to stop every once in a while

don't go by error and trail

every time that there's something bad

there's always good things that'll be had

if you think about what you're gonna do

then the truth will become true!

2)      Write in your journal about a quote by Theodore Rossevelt

      If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.       

Dont blame others for what happens to you. |It's your fault, one way or another. Like, if you get a bad mark on you  r test, its your fault you didnt study. Dont blame the teacher. If you cant wake up its your fault you didnt sleep enough. Dont throw your alarm clock out the window, then you'll wake up tommorow and complaine your clock didnt wake you up because it had "dissepeared"

Extention 8

Is there an area in your life you are unhappy about or frustrated by-classes, a subject, friends, family, work? 

There's some teachers that I dont really like (not naming names)

____________________________________________________________________

What are you unhappy about or frustrated by? For example, do you feel powerless, hopeless, or used? Describe the situation. 

Not ussually. Sometimes when other people get something that I really wanter but didnt get, I might feel down. But I usually bounce back, to feel happy for them.

___________________________________________________________________

How have you been responding? What do you do? What is your attitude? 

Most of the time if someones bugging me off I just ignore it and walk away. Most of the time its about stuff I dont really care about like sports positions or lineups and stuff like that.

___________________________________________________________________

What other (more proactive) ways might you respond to this situation? 

I could try to change the situation instead of just going along with their idea.

___________________________________________________________________

If this situation comes up during the week, remember to take a moment and choose your response. Set up an action plan with steps on how to change your reactive reaction to one where you are more in control and feeling better about the situation. 

If its something not really important, like small arguments, I'll just let it go and not bother me. If its something I care about I'll give them my opinion.

__________________________________________________________________   

Extension 7

Scenario A

You overhear your best friend bad-mouthing you in front of a group. She doesn't know you overheard the conversation. Just five minutes ago, this same friend was sweet-talking you to your face. You feel hurt and betrayed.

If you were reactive, what might you say?

How could you?!?!?! I trusted you and this is what happens??? I hate you!

______________________________________________________________

If you were proactive, what would you say?

Why were you doing that??Is there something you want to tell me?__________________________________________________________________

 

Scenario B

Your mother has grounded you for the rest of the month because you didn't come home from a friend's sleep-over party by the time you said you would. You feel hurt, not only because she doesn't seem to be listening to your reasons for being late, but also because she hasn't really been around for you to talk to much lately.

 

If you were reactive, what might you say? 

Its not my fault! I forgot, and you didnt call to remind me. And we were playing games.

___________________________________________________________________

If you were proactive, what would you say? 

I'm sorry Mom. I should've come home when I said I would. Do you wanna talk about it?

__________________________________________________________________

It's not what happens to you in life, it's what you do about it.            -W. Mitchell

Extension 6

People are proactive when they do not blame other things or people for what happens to them. Reactive people try to hold other people or things responsible for their behavior. Read the examples below and explain why you think they are proactive or reactive.

 

Situation #1

Leilani hadn't done the assigned reading for her English class, so when the due date for a book review on the reading came around, she had no report to turn in. Instead of telling her teacher that there hadn't been enough time given for the assignment, she thought about all of the TV she'd watched over the weekend. She told the teacher she hadn't made good use of her time and asked if she could turn in the paper the next day for a late grade.

 

How was Leilani proactive or reactive?

 

She was proactive because she took responsibility for her mistake and tried to make up for it. 

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

Situation #2

Karl and his friends had been waiting anxiously for the school holiday because they had planned to go rollerblading on the sidewalks of a nearby college campus. When he saw it raining hard the morning they were set to go, he felt so angry that the weather was bad that he told his friends he just didn't feel like doing anything. He staying inside all day and complained to his family about his rotten luck.

 

How was Karl proactive or reactive?

 

Karl was reactive. He didn't try to make things better, just complained and blamed other things and people.

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

Situation #3

Brittany felt bad when she didn't get a part in the school play. But after she thought about it for a few minutes, she realized that the biggest reason she'd gone for a part was that she wanted to be involved in the production, so she got a job with the stage crew. She helped paint the sets and worked the lights during the play, and by the time the production was over, she felt she'd had as much fun, if not more fun, being backstage as she would have had with an onstage role.

 

How was Brittany proactive or reactive?

 

Totally proactive. She took control of what was happening and changed what she didnt like.
