This week, the members of Troop #3027 were encouraged to embrace their unique beauty with the help of guides and activities created by Dove! We began with a discussion about the importance of having high self-esteem. High self-esteem can mean we are comfortable with who we are. People with high self-esteem often have the confidence to influence decisions, to express their individuality and to find success in life. Low self-esteem means that we do not value our true worth. This can lead to feeling helpless and not being in charge of our lives, even feeling resentment or blaming others.
Through a series of activities, each girl was given an opportunity to use strategies to help them feel good about themselves! Here are some strategies that we practiced today:
- look in the mirror and focus on what you like
- ask a friend or family member to share what they like about you
- find a friend or family member to play with
- listen to a song that makes you feel good about yourself
- create a collage that represents the things that you like
- make a list of all the things that you can do
