One of the activities is named : I call it "positive journal"

The aim of this activity is to be able to appreciate and grateful for ourselves, I personally always forget to say " thank you" to myself. This activity will help students to reflect what have they done positively towards themselves. The key reason is if we know how to appreciate ourselves, it will be very easy to appreciate others as well. We won't be hesitant to say one good word and it can create a safe space between students and teacher. 

I would use this activity after a long week with pressure or a hard time. But this activity can be used as a morning routine in classroom. It will expand their positivity towards others. 

Instruction:

It needs paper or notebook and pen, giving them some prompts to get ideas what to write "Three things you are grateful for this week" and so on.

This activity gives students some time to reflect and helps them to improve mentally.

The "Positive Journal" is a clear and well-structured activity that provides practical details, like using gratitude prompts, which makes it easy for any teacher to implement. It is highly appropriate for building a supportive learning environment, acting as a sanctuary that shifts students' focus from the stress of their exosystem toward self-appreciation and social awareness. Effectively, this reduces the risk of emotional outbursts by giving students a tool to process their feelings, which strengthens the classroom microsystem and makes students more resilient and ready to learn.

Your activity is explained in a clear and simple way. The “positive journal” gives enough detail so another teacher can understand how and when to use it especially with the prompts you shared. It is very suitable for creating a safe and supportive classroom because it helps students appreciate themselves and then show kindness to others. The activity can be effective because it builds positive thinking, reduces stress, and encourages respect, which makes classroom management easier. Overall, it is a thoughtful idea that supports both student well-being and a calm learning space.
