Happy Game

I love being a school psychologist because I am a moody person and when I'm down, I follow my own advice and do mood elevators in my groups. Sometimes I do yoga stretches, deep breathing and meditative visualization. Last week I was a little down so when the cute little boys came for group, I suggested we play the Happy Game. We went around the table and told about things that make us happy. We did this for the entire time and those little guys thought of the most wonderful things. I did, too. When it was time for them to leave, a little autistic boy, not giving me eye contact said, "I like the Happy Game." It made me feel better, too.
