Our Lady of Lourdes has taken up ‘The 7 Habits’ which is a way of living your life by being in tune with yourself and others.  This initiative is something we are going to look further into when we all get back to school.

In the meantime, I thought it would be good to start introducing some of these things which might be of benefit in these extraordinary times.

Habit 1 is about being Proactive.  It’s the first one we need to learn to be able to take on the other habits.  It is where we learn to be in charge of ourselves and take responsibility for our life.

Have a look at the following resources:

1. Manny and Clarke show us a quick and fun way to understand the difference between Proactive and Reactive behaviour.

2. Max and Holly show the importance of a “Growth Mindset” – an important mindset for us parents to build in our children.

3. Clinton and Kathy go into greater depth of habit 1 by showing us the power of pressing our “pause button” at home.

4. Jodi gives us a fun and easy yoga class to do with our children that is linked to habit 1.

I’ll pass more on when I get them for Habit 2.

Enjoy. x
