as usual, saturday morning i came to school to attend the EQ workshop..
last saturday session was so impressed.. many things i got..

first, the facilitoator asked us to share our problem to our frens (first she asked us to make a group of 8), then all of the members must said "THAT'S GOOD"..
at first i was frowning.. i was like, "what is the aim of doing this?", shared ur problem n said thats gud, what is the gud side of having a bad luck..
then ok, one by one tried.. and i got the idea.. the aim was when u have problem, always look the bright side, be optimistic, dont always look the bad side that can ruin u all the time.. after said Thats gud, every person of the members must say, why did u say so, what was the gud thing of the story that u shared.. we were doing this n then i felt like, it was really helpful u know, when u shared ur problem, then u felt like its hard to be solved, and other people supported u by saying "Thats gud", and said the gud things of having that problem, it was like u felt so relief.. really.. u can try to speak to urself, when u feel depressed about something, and say to urself "thats gud" and think positively, or ask other people whom u often share about ur problem to say that, it is really helpful..

second things that i want to share, about self appreciation. the facilitator asked us to write down 3 qualities u admire from someone..
ok, i wrote 3, i wrote hard working, frenly, mature..
then the facilitator, said, "now, u stand up say I am .. then u say the 3 qualities that u wrote". I was kind of little bit surprise!! I thought, wah what i wrote was what i admire from others, not in me.. so strange..
then ok we started doing what she asked..
and i got the aim of doing this, self appreciation!! yes, we always look other people always greater than ourselves.. right?! but, actually what we have in ourselves is also good, try to see gud things in urself, then u will love and more appreciate urself.. it will avoid feeling jealous or humble..

then we were asked to write LIFE MISSION, she gave a piece of paper, and we had to write what will wo do in 2017..
what is ur job, ur office environment, ur colleagues..
then when u reach home, what will u do..
then the facilitator explained to us, in life we have to know what we want, it is not about the material things.. but how we give meaning to life..
i like the sentence that i got from her, "Future is unknown, it is like adventure.."

all those things seem very simple, but i think really helpful.. u can try it.. at first i didnt think it was meaningful, i thought it was just activity but i think it was not just an activity for me.. hopefully, my sharing can be useful for u..
