Slideshow and Activity: Filling Buckets
(From Greater Good Science Center UCB)
Background:
“The Theory of the Dipper and the Bucket. Each of us has an invisible bucket. It is constantly emptied or filled, depending on what others say or do to us. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When it’s empty, we feel awful. Each of us also has an invisible dipper. When we use that dipper to fill other people’s buckets – by saying or doing things to increase their positive emotions – we also fill our own bucket.”
