Twelve days of Christmas; twelve days of emotional intelligence
We’re suggesting a few small changes to the song, Twelve Days of Christmas.
Same tune.
On the first day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Gratitude for everything I have. #Optimism
On the second day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Self-care to manage my stress. #StressTolerance
On the third day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Acceptance for the way that things are. #Flexibility
On the fourth day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me (and my family),
Deep breath and counting up to ten. #ImpulseControl
On the fifth day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Checking my perceptions with a friend. #RealityTesting
On the sixth day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Knowing I helped someone out. #SocialResponsibility
On the seventh day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Really listening to a friend. #empathy
On the eight day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Getting together with good friends. #InterpersonalRelationships
On the ninth day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Some time to enjoy my own company. #Independence
On the tenth day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Asking for what I want and need. #Assertiveness
On the eleventh day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Doing more of what I really love to do. #SelfActualization
On the twelfth day of Christmas, the gift I gave to me,
Accepting myself just the way I am. #SelfRegard
