Big Idea(s)

Knowing the parts of ourselves we can't change is an important exercise in acceptance. When we accept ourselves as we are, it is easier to accept other people as well.
Making a long-term change strengthens a person's self-respect by helping to make them feel confident, capable, and proud for meeting a goal.
Interesting and fun activities you can do when you are alone might include: reading, playing video games, creating something, and riding a bike.
It is important that you are comfortable with just yourself for company.
Being your own best friend can help when you want to set a goal. You can be encouraging to yourself; you can make sure you don't criticize yourself if there is something you want or need to improve upon; and you can make sure you don't give up if you don't reach your goal right away.
You can use your feelings as clues and warning signals about what is right or safe and what is wrong or unsafe for you.
Ways you can reduce your tension when feeling stressed might include: talking to a friend, exercising, going for a walk, writing in a journal or diary.
Some of the ways people become and remain friends are by sharing interests, sharing goals, working together, taking on different roles in different groups, and being able to forgive.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done. It means rather, that the act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship. He explained that it is important to recognize the hurtful act never expresses all the person is, and he reminded us that an element (part) of goodness may be found in everyone -- even in our worst enemy.
If someone is trying to get you to do something that is wrong or unsafe, it is very important to express your disagreement with them to protect your safety and stand up for your own beliefs and values.
It is not required to make friends with everyone. Knowing this leaves you more open to getting to know someone. In the process, you may be pleasantly surprised at what you find. If you do not end up being friends, you have still maintained a basic respectful attitude.
