HOMEROON GUIDANCE WK 3

I. LET’S TRY THIS

RESPECT WAS SHOWN TO ME WHEN…
PROPLE ACTUALLY HEAR ABOUT MY OPINIONS AND CONCERNS

I THINK DISCRIMINATION WAS EVIDENT WHEN…

PEOPLE MOCK ME FOR TRYING SOMETHING NEW

PROCESSING QUESTION:
1. I FELT THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPECTING PEOPLE’S INSIGHTS. SO THAT PEOPLE WOULD
FEEL THAT THEIR VOICE IS HEARD AND THAT THEIR PRESENCE MATTER.
2. WHEN PEOPLE LISTEN AND GIVES US FEEDBACK ON WHAT WE SAID, BE IT GOOD OR
BAD, THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THEY CONFIRM THAT OUR OPINIONS ARE WELL
ACKNOWLEDGED. IT’S WHEN PEOPLE DISMISS OUR BELIEF AND THEY KEEP THEIR
CLOSE-MINDED ATTITUDE, NOT ACCEPTING OTHER’S POINT OF VIEW.
3. YES, IF PEOPLE WOULD LISTEN MORE AND CONSIDER THAT THEIR JUDGEMENT IS NOT
ALWAYS THE RIGHT ONE, THEY MIGHT’VE MISSED SOMETHING THAT THEY COULD FIX
BY LISTENING TO OTHERS.

II. LET’S EXPLORE THIS

1. I TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SOMEONE IS TELLING ME.
2. I LISTEN ATTENTIVELY TO THEIR INSIGHTS.
3. I CONSIDER FACTORS THAT MAY HELP US COME TO A DESIRABLE CONCLUSION.
4. I ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS, AND SHOW THAT I PAY ATTENTION.
5. I GIVE FEEDBACK ON WHAT SOMEONE SAYS.

1. WHEN I DON’T PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR WORDS.

2. I THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE WHILE IN A CONVERSATION WITH THEM.
3. DISTRACTED OF SOMETHING OUT OF THE TOPIC.
4. DISMISS THEIR IDEAS AND PUSH MINE THROUGH.
5. I OPEN ANOTHER TOPIC WHILE THEY ARE STILL SAYING SOMETHING.

PROCESSING QUESTIONS:

1. I RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I ALSO DISCRIMINATE THEM.

2. WHEN THEY ALSO GIVE BACK THE SAME ENERGY I GIVE THEM.
3. BY RESPECTING THEM, AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY FEEL INCLUDED.
III. YOU CAN DO IT
RESPECTING OTHERS’ DIFFERENCES SHOWS THAT YOU RESPECT YOURSELF. YOUR ACTION
DEPENDS ON HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF.

IV. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

1. WHEN I RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR PRESENCE.
2. BY RESPECTING EVERYONE AND ACCEPTING THAT DIFFERENT OPINIONS EXISTS
3. THIS PANDEMIC SHOWED ME THAT PEOPLE HAVE A REASON FOR THEIR ACTIONS, AND
THAT I SHOULD UNDERSTAND, BE OPEN, AND RESPECT HOW THEY CAME UP WITH
SOMETHING.

V. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

YOU ARE VALID, YOU MATTER.

1. IF RESPECT IS SHOWN, I WOULD THANK THAT PERSON FOR ACKNOWLEDGING MY
PRESENCE. IF DISCRIMINATION IS SHOWN, I WOULD STAND UP FOR MYSELF AND FIGHT,
ASKING THEM THE POINT OF THEIR ARGUMENT.
