Self-esteem / Self-confidence

Stating facts! You should be proud of these qualities!
What are core values? Can they be broken?

Who has gremlin thoughts?
Everyone!
Do you control your thoughts and emotions, or the other way around?
YOU control them!
What are friendship "boosters" and "busters"?
"Boosters" are positive qualities that strengthen any relationship. "Busters" are qualities that harm a relationship and don't make you feel good!
Are only loud and popular girls confident?
No, a quieter girl who only has a few friends can be just as confident, as long as she's doing what she wants and being herself!
Should you follow your values or your friend's values? Why?
Yours, of course! If you follow your friends, you won't feel good and won't be staying true to yourself.
Are your thoughts always true?
No, we can choose whether or not to believe them.
Where do emotions come from?
Your thoughts!
Do you think it's better to have just one best friend, or a variety of friends?
A variety. You wouldn't wear high heels to play basketball, just like you wouldn't bring your friend who's a homebody to a big concert. It's good to have a variety of people to do things with!
What's one way to build your self-esteem?
Example: not comparing yourself to others and focusing on who YOU are, what makes you happy, what your strengths are, naming what you enjoy, etc.

Needing everything to be perfect, beating yourself up for mistakes, putting too much pressure on yourself to get everything right!

No! They are only distractions.
What's one way to change how you're feeling?
Change what you're thinking!
How is finding true friends like trying on clothes?
Different people fit you in different ways! Sometimes you outgrow friends and that's okay!
What is the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence?
Self-esteem is a FEELING, feeling good, like you matter! Self-confidence is about DOING what you want and being yourself.
What is a growth mindset?
Believing that mistakes are GOLD and we can improve our abilities at ANYTHING with enough practice and hard work! Just because I'm not perfect, it doesn't mean I'm not worthy!
What's another voice in your head that you can choose to listen to, other than the gremlins?
Your INNER COACH!

No, my emotions never lie, they are real and always true. (Thoughts, on the other hand, are different!)
How do you attract solid, good friends? (Think: law of _____)
By being one yourself! The law of attraction!

To have intention, to do what YOU want, to not follow someone else's path!
How can we interpret the word "mistake"? (Think: our craft activity!)

What is the key to handling friendship drama?
Understanding, respect, and communication!
