Offer Yourself Advice!

While good advice from others is always valuable, you can sometimes find the answers you seek by looking within! In this reflective writing worksheet, students will practice listening to their own inner wisdom by writing a letter about a current challenge they are facing. Learners will then take on the role of advice-giver, responding to their own letter with insights, perspective, or suggestions. A bonus prompt invites students to reflect on how this exercise may have helped them to recontextualize a problem, gain insight, or tap into their own intuitive problem-solving abilities. Geared toward middle school learners, this fun and creative writing exercise is a great way to encourage self-reflection while building essential social emotional skills.
