Self management

How can I be angry/happy/sad/... and understand why I feel this way and what can I do about it myself?

You... ​

• Can recognize and name feelings such as jealousy, cheerfulness, panic,...

• Can tell when you feel mad/angry/sad/happy…, you behave differently, than when you’re calm.

• Know how to calm yourself down when you’re mad at someone.

• Know when you’re mad, you have an effect on another person and you can name your part in a situation that got out of hand.

What does this mean in concrete terms? That you can make the link between feelings,  thoughts
and behavior in this 4G scheme:

​

E.g. using a 4G scheme: 

• Event: something happens

• Thoughts: I think about this

• Feelings: I feel sad, happy, mad… about this event

• Behaviour: I act differently because of how I feel or how I think about it.

Stop-think-do-check

The 'stop-think-do method' is a way of working that is based on a self-instruction method

e.g.

Stop: I read my assignment

Think: How do I plan my work? What do I need to make my work?

Do: I do my work

Check: I check my work, did I forget something?
