Grow Responsibility and Compassion
Through Pet Care

It is essential for our well-being to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships. Benefits of healthy relationships include:

1. Emotional Support: Our friends, family, and acquaintances give us the supportive network we need. We can share joys, sorrows, and challenges together. Emotional support from loved ones helps us navigate life's ups and downs.
2. Personal Growth: Relationships offer opportunities for personal growth and self-reflection. Interacting with others helps us develop empathy, understanding, and emotional intelligence.
3. Health and Happiness: Healthy relationships contribute to overall well-being. We can have increased happiness, reduced stress levels, and improved mental and physical health.

Please think of your relationships. Please take a minute to journal the benefits you gain from people in your life.

Leadership requires many skills. It’s important to learn about leadership prior to taking on a leadership role. You can do this by studying other leaders.

Over time, leaders learn to use tools for reflection so they can make plans related to their own growth.

Just like anything else, pausing to learn, think, and plan can boost a person’s ability to achieve their goals.

Let’s talk about what self-confidence means.

Self-confidence is something you can’t touch, but it affects how you feel. You can’t see it, but it is there when you look in the mirror. You can’t hear it, but it is there every time you talk about yourself.

Self-confidence is feeling good about yourself and knowing you are a likable, capable person.

I am sure self-confidence is a word you have heard and maybe you even know how to tell if people are confident. In this module, you will learn about self-confidence and self-esteem and how to identify both good and poor confidence and esteem. Remember, you can improve your self-confidence.

Let's talk about impulse control – a legit life skill for everyone. Impulse control is stopping yourself from doing something right away, so you can think about it and make a better choice. Picture this: you’re on your phone, and you get sucked into a scroll session instead of tackling that math homework. Impulse control is like your own coach in your mind saying, “Hey, let's think for a sec.”

It can be hard to stop yourself sometimes, but here’s a cool trick: the “Pause-Plan-Play” method. First, hit the pause button on your impulse. Just take a moment to chill. Then, plan out the pros and cons of what you’re about to do. Ask yourself, “Is this going to help me or set me back?” Finally, play it smart – make the choice that’s going to be better for you in the long run.
