What I’m Feeling

Worksheet Description

The “Forgiveness” worksheet provides a structured approach for students to explore and articulate their feelings toward someone who has caused them hurt or resentment. At the outset, there’s a space for the student to inscribe their name, signifying the personal nature of the exercise. The worksheet guides the individual to name the person they are feeling resentful towards and to specify the reason, establishing a direct and clear context for their feelings.

Beneath this initial statement, the worksheet features an array of emotional states such as anger, bitterness, and confusion, among others, presented in a checklist format. This allows students to identify and acknowledge the breadth of their emotional response by circling all applicable feelings. Following this, the worksheet prompts students to reflect on the time they spend dwelling on the incident, providing a space to quantify this aspect of their emotional investment. A final probing question asks whether these ruminations are beneficial, inviting a deeper consideration of the impact of their thoughts on personal well-being. The worksheet’s design is clean and straightforward, focusing the student’s attention on the introspective task, which is an important step towards understanding and practicing forgiveness.
