3 reasons....

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

I attended my Promoting Positive Learning Environments lecture today where we were looking at Positive Pyscology (all essential learning for my Education Degree). The lecturer informed us that there were higher health benefits associated with celebrations and gratitude than there were with moderate exercising 4 days per week. An interesting concept to say the least - it turns out if we openly celebrate people's successes and show gratitude to those around us, we can ensure a happier healither life by up to 40%.

Too good to be true, I hear you say. As an experiment, my lecturer has asked us to keep a diary of at least 3 things we are grateful for each and every day for at least the next 10 weeks. We are then to take a survey to see how we have changed our wellbeing over the time. (I have already undertaken the survey to see where I stand presently) So, that's were this blog comes into it, each day I will write 3 things that I am grateful for. I take this oppurtuntiy to welcome you and hope you too can find 3 things that made your day worthwhile.

Today I am grateful for:

1. My kids, Miss M, Mr E and Mr A - for making all I do worthwhile and constantly inspiring me to go the extra mile.
2. My parents - for making it all possible, without their help none of this would ever be.
3. Uni - for always pushing me to try new things and come out of my shell. I truly believe it is a ride worth taking!!

So thats it for today.
