Tips for Parents Teaching Children About Gratitude “A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.” – Unknown
Most adults can appreciate why gratitude is important, but many children think that gratitude is all about keeping on top of their “Ps & Qs”. Of course, in some respects, gratitude is about saying “thank you”, but it’s also so much more. Gratitude is a feeling, or a state, rather than just a word or phrase. Of course, we can say “thanks” for things that we have in our lives, but to be truly grateful is to FEEL in your HEART rather than just speaking aloud. Here’s a great article for parents of teens, on how to embrace and develop a gratitude practice: https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/gratitude.html Remember, we are offering our ‘Vision Creation & Goal Setting’ sessions for half price throughout January – that’s just £30 with a free follow up chat!

What Is Gratitude? What is gratitude?
Well, one definition, provided by Harvard Medical School is: “[Gratitude] is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible”. It sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Honestly, it really is. In itself, gratitude is just a state of being thankful. When performed regularly, preferably daily, you can develop a powerful practice that can change your perspective on life. Would you like to find out more?

Top Tips for a Successful 2021 “Without dreams and goals there is no living, only existing, and that is not why we are here.” – Mark Twain
Yesterday, we gave you some great goal setting methods to help you get started with your New Year’s Resolutions… Today, we wanted to give you some tips on how to stay motivated and achieve what you set out to do. Tip 1. Get an accountability buddy, or put together a group. You can create a group chat, or even a private page on Facebook to post your goals and encourage one another to achieve them. Go a step further and arrange a weekly or monthly coffee to catch-up and offer pep talks! Tip 2. Don’t try to do too much! We advise only setting 2 or 3 goals (maximum) for shorter periods of time. Check out the next tip for more on this… Tip 3. Keep it bitesize. If your ultimate goal is to “dance on stage in front of 100 people by the June 30th”, then set a smaller goal, like “choreograph and learn a dance before January 31st“ or “dance in front of family before January 31st”. It’s too easy to lose motivation when a goal is 3+ months away. Let us know how you get on! If you feel in need of support or specific advice, please get in touch.
