A starting point for restorative justice is acknowledging our ability to cause harm despite our best intentions.
Here is an easy script to follow when harm has been caused:
“I’m sorry. I own the impact of my words/ actions. To repair this harm, I will [ insert action here ].”
Former Starkville High School and EMCC QB Jaquez Johnson will be inducted into the EMCC Sports Hall Of Fame this Thursday night.
Just talked to Jaquez and will have his story in Wednesday’s SDN.
Junior College prospect that I’m a fan of is NyJal Johnson (@NyjellyJ). He had a phenomenal day. Definitely a diamond in the rough that can play. He will be taking over for @HolmesccFB. One to know! @quezzzo12
You’re safe.
No one is mad at you.
You can stop assuming.
You’re not that small child in trouble, who can’t relax.
The hypervigilance is from your past.
You’re safe, now.
EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE LOOKS LIKE:
1. I can cope with disappointment
2. I can tolerate differences of opinion
3. I allow myself to feel what I feel without shaming myself
4. I can have uncomfortable conversations
5. I don’t take things personally
6. I trust that if someone has an issue, they’ll directly communicate it to me
7. I can communicate without character attacks when I disagree
8. I can soothe myself when I feel uncertain or anxious
9. When I or say something I regret, I apologize and don’t beat myself up
