Reflection: Self-Awareness

1. 3-Finger Check-in

-Put 3 fingers up if you feel like you can always name your emotions when you are feeling them

-Put 2 fingers up if you feel like you can sometimes name your emotions when you are feeling them

-Put 1 finger up if you can only name your emotions after you are feeling them

2. Did anyone ever get frustrated when practicing today? What did you do to make sure you kept a positive attitude?

3. Why is it important that we keep trying even if we aren't good at something at first?
