Lesson with elements of the training “My Mood”

Purpose and main objectives: to show the possibilities of mood self-regulation techniques; create conditions for relieving psycho-emotional stress; contribute to the formation of a positive attitude.

Equipment: presentation, whatman paper, paints, video, energetic music, chocolate.

Organization of the start of the lesson

1) Problematic question

What changes several dozen times a day in a person? This is the mood. And what is it? (this is the emotional state of a person at a certain period of time)

2) Introductory conversation

Look at the screen. What can you say about this expression. (Slide1)

What is the mood like? (Slide 2)

What does your mood depend on?

What verb is the word “mood” derived from? From the word configure. What does it mean? So it turns out that the mood can be adjusted?

What is the ability to control your mood called? (self-regulation)

Today we will talk about how to cheer yourself up.

In order for you to determine the rules for raising your mood, you will perform simple tasks.

2. Main part

1) Game “Train Engine” (to energetic music) (Slide 3)

So how can you cheer yourself up? (Sl. 4)

The fastest and effective method To cheer yourself up is to move actively. It is better if you do some set of exercises for yourself. This way you will combine business with pleasure: you will work on strengthening your body and at the same time bring your body, and then your psyche, out of a state of stagnation. After all, states of blues and despondency first of all settle on the body, giving a feeling of loss of strength, stiffness, and depression. To get rid of this burden, it is enough to move actively so that the blood runs through the body, flows to the muscles and tissues, and warms up the entire body, shackled by the cold of inactivity.

Exercise stress- this is not only a way to strengthen physical health, but also for mental health. Many guys who play sports are almost always in a good mood and confident in themselves.

2) Watch a video about nature (Section 5)

Nature (L.6) She is a great healer in her own right. You and I are, first of all, living beings, and only then individuals. And from the very beginning, we have a need to spend as much time as possible in nature, which, to put it mildly, residents of megacities cannot always afford. You know, when you don’t do something, you don’t even understand how much you miss it.

Nature gives a powerful energy charge to our entire body. By interacting with trees, walking barefoot on the ground or in dew, inhaling natural aromas, we activate the hidden resources of our body, increase immunity, and promote the production of joy hormones.

Music (Sl. 7-9) is a powerful factor influencing the human psyche. With help, you can both increase your state of depression and apathy, and significantly improve your mood in just a few minutes. Therefore, it all depends on what kind of music you choose.

3) Training exercise“Compliments” (children form two circles, facing each other and exchange compliments)

4) Training exercise “Gift” (children “give gifts” to each other using facial expressions and gestures)

4. Communication (Mk. 10) can both improve our mood and worsen it. So be selective about the people you interact with on a daily basis. Well, in moments of blues, nothing eases the soul and pleases the heart like a conversation with a pleasant person. If he is not nearby, then call him. It's better to talk on the phone than not to talk at all.

5) Treating with sweets

Why do you think I treat you to chocolates? And how does this relate to our topic?

Tasty food(Sl. 11-15) has always served as a source of pleasure for soul and body. But I put this way to cheer myself up at the very end of the list precisely because it often brings harm, although it is good. We begin to eat away all our troubles, gradually becoming more and more dependent on food.

6) Art therapy exercise “Draw the sun from your palms”

Creativity (L.16) - a wonderful way to distract yourself, express yourself, and create something beautiful and unique. Each of us has a creative side (no matter what we think about it ourselves). You just need to give it the opportunity to manifest itself. The most accessible way to do this is to pick up paper and paints, or at worst, pencils or felt-tip pens.

7) Creative task “Draw the mood with your palms”

8) Watch the video “Smile” (Secondary 17)

Change something on the outside if you can't change it on the inside. (Sl.18-22) Sometimes there is no strength or desire to engage in some practices, and the reflection in the mirror leads to even sadder thoughts. Then it’s time to improve this reflection, then you’ll see, life will get better. The easiest way to transform your face is to smile. If you can’t find a reason to smile, don’t look for it, use auxiliary means: watch a comedy, read jokes, go to a joke website. Look, after a while you won’t even notice how a smile will appear on your face!

Music

In Ancient Egypt, choral singing was used to treat insomnia and relieve pain.

Doctors in ancient China even prescribed musical melodies as a prescription, believing that music could cure any disease.

In general, chocolate contains substances that improve digestion, increase performance and resistance to stress, have a tonic effect and elevate mood, and the high magnesium content will make nervous system more stable.

7 scientific facts about smiling

1. Smiling makes us happy, it sends a signal to the brain that we are happy. And when we are happy, the body begins to produce various kinds of endorphins, which lift our spirits. This principle was discovered in the 1980s and has been confirmed by a number of studies.

2. Smiling makes people around you happy.

A smile is contagious. Research shows that it is enough to see a smiling boyfriend or girlfriend, and a person involuntarily begins to do the same.

3. Smiling makes us more attractive.

We pay attention to people who smile. There is a pull factor: we want to know who is smiling and why. Frowning and grimaces repel people, but a smile attracts.

4. Smiling helps relieve stress.

Smiling helps relieve fatigue, wear and tear and overwhelm. A smile can reduce anxiety.

5. A smile is more attractive than makeup.

69% percent of people believe that a smiling woman without makeup is more attractive than a woman without a smile who wears makeup. The muscles we use to smile tighten the face, making you look younger.

6. Smiling has a positive effect on health.

A smile helps immune system work better. When you smile, you are more relaxed. A number of studies prove the beneficial effects of laughter on human health, incl. and the fact that laughter is similar to a mini-workout, as a result of which fat is burned and the relief of the abdominal muscles improves. Laughter also improves circulation, lowers blood sugar, reduces stress and improves sleep. It can also increase the body's levels of antibodies, which fight infections and improve the functioning of the immune system.

7. Smiling makes you more successful

Smiling people look more confident. Wear a smile to meetings and get-togethers and people will react to you differently. According to research, respondents tend to believe that such people are more attractive, self-confident, decent and decisive.

I often have to communicate with people who are experiencing not the most joyful moments in life. Of course, their mood is also “at zero.” Their body very accurately reflects their mental state - drooping head, downcast eyes, hunched back.

5 simple exercises will lift your mood and relieve a little stress

At the same time, it has long been known that by making even small changes to “physics”, you can change. For example, if you start smiling when you are in a bad mood, your mood may change its sign from “minus” to “plus”.

Today on Lifehacker I read about five simple exercises, which in 3-4 minutes will allow you to cheer up and even get rid of a little stress. This complex was developed by psychotherapist Carlos Coto, creator of the HandLink (Energy Psychology) technique.

1. Walk on tiptoe

When you feel depressed, it’s hard for you to even move your legs. It seems that negative emotions are pulling you to the ground. Therefore, to counteract this, try walking on tiptoes for a couple of minutes, concentrating your body weight on the tips of your toes and rushing your whole body up towards the sky.

2. Jump like Jumping Jack

The favorite exercise of the American military, Jumping Jacks, will increase blood flow, remove congestion in organs and tissues, increase the flow of oxygen to them, release endorphins, “happiness hormones”, help, and simply warm you up.

The exercise is simple to do. From the starting position “feet together, arms at your sides,” bend your knees and start jumping, spreading your legs as wide as possible and raising your arms above your head. If possible, clap with your hands. Keep your body weight on your fingertips. Returning to the starting position, transfer your body weight to your heels, place your feet together, and lower your arms to the sides of your body. Make at least 20 jumps, and you will see that life begins to shine with new colors.

3. Chest wheel!

Have you noticed that when you are sad, you begin to slouch, as if protecting your heart and emotions from? Try to straighten your back and proudly straighten your chest, opening it towards new impressions and a good mood. In addition, this pose will literally allow you to breathe deeply, which will also improve your physical and mental well-being.

4. Raise your arms above your head: You are a winner!

Often, when you are depressed, you do not know where to put your hands, and they hang limply along your body. To overcome a bad mood, raise your hands up as if you have become a winner in a competition, battle or some important matter. After all, you have already practically conquered your sadness, you are a winner!

5. Keep your nose up and smile!

When performing exercises 3 and 4, you will most likely involuntarily lift your chin up. You have something to be proud of, right?

And finally, start smiling! Even if you don't want it. Your brain associates smiling with good mood, joy, and other positive emotions. Very soon, an artificially induced smile will make you feel noticeably better and more cheerful.

These are some simple exercises. But they really help lift your spirits, drive away the blues and make your life a little happier.

Tell us if these exercises helped you personally. Maybe you have your own effective methods of dealing with bad mood and stress? Share with everyone.

The person standing will speak on behalf of the person sitting, calling himself by the name of his partner. Within one minute, no more and no less! In exactly a minute I will interrupt the monologue; If someone finishes early, we will remain silent until the allotted minute has expired. so your task is to structure your presentation so that it lasts exactly 60 seconds.

Pay attention to the ability to take into account the timing of the presentation; the ability to correctly and concisely convey the information received from a partner about him and the ability to “feel” into another person enough to guess the missing information. The following questions can be used:

How did you feel when your partner failed to meet the allotted time (got silent before the minute was up)?
Did your partner manage to correctly present information about you?
Did your partner manage to become your double?
Did he correctly guess the answers he gave on your behalf?

Exercise “I am you. You are me"

Target: Awareness of one's own identity.

Stages of the game: Training participants are divided into pairs and tell each other about everything they consider necessary for a certain period of time. Partners can ask each other any questions. After communicating in pairs, the participants introduce each other, mutually exchanging roles.

Discussion of the game:

What is easier to do: tell about yourself or about others?
How did you feel when you introduced your partner?
How did you feel when your partner introduced you?
In what cases do we feel shy, and in what cases do we feel confident?

Exercise “Our group”

Target: Formation of a team.

This is a rather unusual exercise, more like a ritual. The participants should already know each other, but the exercise will help deepen the acquaintance. In addition, it can help to take a fresh look at internal relationships in the group, feel the energy, and mark new topics and tasks for further work. It is best if the group is not too large - about 8-10 people.

Stages of work:

The group is conveniently located in a circle. Start by getting ready to work. It is necessary to once again state the purpose of our training.
Each participant says their name and the rest of the group repeats it.
Now everyone closes their eyes. The participants again say their names, the rest also repeat it; what is added is that each member of the group accompanies the repetition of the next name with some movement, which in his understanding corresponds to the owner of the name, personifies him.
Next comes the third round. Again, everyone takes turns saying their names. But this time the group no longer repeats the names out loud, but everyone tries to draw a mental picture of what the speaker’s energy of tolerance seems to him personally. The one who saw this picture describes it out loud. For example: “Brown bear, stream in the mountains, coolness, etc.” Allow enough time for this stage. The next name and, accordingly, the following pictures are called only when the description of the previous one is completely completed.
After the energy of tolerance of all group members has been characterized, participants should concentrate on the “center” of the group and try to imagine the interaction of all personal energies: how they relate to each other, how they look, how they move. Each participant describes what he “sees.” In this way, a general picture is gradually formed that reflects the joint energy of tolerance of the group and its action. Emphasize that all pictures should be described, not only those that are beautiful and pleasant to others. After all, it is possible that someone will “see” negative traits, but this is also very valuable.
It will take you a lot of time to create this big picture of the group. Sometimes it happens that a group discovers its common symbol, task, goal, or takes an imaginary journey into the future. If the participants decide that the image of the group has been created, the exercise can be completed. Everyone takes three deep breaths, stretches and opens their eyes. Now we can discuss the resulting image and its significance for further work.

Exercise “Learning to appreciate individuality”

Target: learn to appreciate the individuality of another.

Time spending: 60 min.

Stages of the game:

If we knew how to value our own individuality, it would be easier for us to accept our partner’s otherness.

Group members sit in a circle, each with paper and a pencil.

At the beginning of the game, say something like this: “We often want to be exactly the same as others, and we suffer from feeling that we are different from others. Sometimes it’s really good when we are like everyone else, but our individuality is no less important. It can and should be appreciated.”
Invite each player to write about three characteristics that distinguish him from all other members of the group. This could be a recognition of one’s obvious merits or talents, life principles, etc. In any case, the information should be positive.
Give three examples from your own life so that participants can fully understand what is required of them. Use your imagination and sense of humor to create a gaming atmosphere.
Participants write down their names and complete the task (3 minutes). Warn that you will collect the notes and read them out, and group members will guess who is the author of certain statements.
Collect the pieces of paper and once again note the positive aspects of the fact that people are different from each other: we become interesting to each other, we can find a non-standard solution to a problem, give each other impulses to change and learn, etc. Then read each text and have the players guess who wrote it. If the author cannot be “identified,” he must identify himself.

Exercise “Petals”

Target: This is an excellent exercise that promotes relaxation and increases self-confidence. In addition, everyone can gain a lot of personal impressions from other group members.

Materials: Prepared forms for each participant (with empty petals) and a large sheet of Whatman paper depicting a flower with filled petals.

Stages of work: Participants make notes on their forms on the topics indicated in the sample. They work silently. After ten minutes, you can walk around the room, show others your “flower” and talk about what is written in each petal. Make sure that the participants do not linger and after 2-3 minutes move on to the next partner. After everyone has talked to everyone else, there is a short exchange of opinions in a circle.

Petals:

Three things I like
Three things I don't like
A person I admire
Three places I've lived
What would I like to do
What am I proud of

Short description game content:

The game is based on the poem by K.I. Chukovsky “The Tsokotukha Fly”.

Options for organizing the game:

Actualization of the feeling of fear. An excerpt from a poem is used that talks about how a spider attacks a clattering fly. To act out this emotional state, the child is asked to play the role of a ticking fly and (or) its guests.
Actualization of feelings of anger. A fragment of a poem is used that tells how a spider attacks a fly and the plot of a fight between a spider and a mosquito. To act out feelings of aggression, the child is asked to play the role of a spider and (or) a mosquito.
Updating the feeling of joy. Extracts of the poem are used that depict how the fly found the money, the celebration of the fly's birthday and wedding. The child is offered the roles of a ticking fly, (and/or) a mosquito, and guests.
Expanding children's understanding of emotions. All the above passages of the poem are used. Children are offered roles (determined by the leader or at the request of the children) based on current tasks.

Number of game participants– from 1 to 6 children.

Exercise “My name”

Target

The speaker stands in the center of the circle.

The presenter walks with the player in a circle and talks about his name.

The speaker goes into the circle and chooses a participant to whom he would like to introduce himself. He tells him about the associations his own name evokes in him.

Exercise “Presentation from hearsay”

Target: Introducing training participants to each other.

Each participant characterizes himself on behalf of his acquaintances, relatives, friends (you must choose one person)

Time spending: 30 minutes.

Materials: Paper napkins for all group members.

Stages of work:

Each participant decides in whose words he will introduce himself. This could be anyone who is familiar enough with him: partner, boss, child, friend, client, etc., but he should not be among the group members.
A small figurine is made from a napkin, symbolizing the chosen person.
The one who is ready for the presentation rises from the chair, holding a paper figurine in his hands, “on behalf of” which he says: “I am Max’s friend. I want to say just a few words about him and so that Max himself would agree with me. Max is very reserved person and is not very willing to be the center of attention...”
After all participants have completed the exercise, it is time for feedback, questions and comments.

Exercise “This is my name”

Target: Introducing training participants to each other.

Participants take turns saying their names and talking about them.

Time spending: 20-30 minutes.

Instructions: Invite the player sitting to your right to stand up from his chair and say both his full name and the name by which he would like to be called in the group. The speaker should then say something about his name. He might, for example, try to answer the following questions:

What does my last name mean?
Where is my family from?
Do I like my name?
Do I know who chose it for me?
Do I know what my name means?
Would I like to be called by another name?
Who else in the family had this name?

Each participant decides for himself what to tell and how to comment on his story, but the speaker must do it within 2 minutes.

Having finished speaking, the speaker sits down again. The game continues in a counterclockwise circle.
