SEL: Self-Management. Showing courage to take initiative. Asking ourselves what is likely to happen and reacting to it before it happens. Is this an edible mushroom or not? :) Using Positive Regard to frame our perception and having great conversations.

Collaboration is essential! Just like algae (or cyanobacteria) and fungi results with beautiful lichen! :) We don't need to be in a symbiotic relationship, but choosing to collaborate (instead to compete) increases our chances for success in most situations.

Learning to use adult SEL strategies are worth our time! Our self-regulation can only work if we are aware of our stressors and needs, and also have ways to manage them.
