WELLBEING @ ST PAT'S
ZEST
When we are full of zest from a character strength understanding we have;
“…lots of ENERGY and ENTHUSIASM for things. Getting excited by things and looking to get the most out of life.”
We all know people like this because when we need a boost we seek this energy out. These people tend to be recharging themselves constantly in order to keep their energy high. So what is the secret to building up this character strength of Zest? It has something to do I believe in making time to do the things you enjoy. It may be going for a walk, dancing around the lounge room or simply reading a book. YOU are number ONE so the more you invest in you the fast and more efficient your energy will flow. Try it.
Challenge: Take time for YOU this weekend and nourish yourself.
PEER MEDIATION
The peer mediators this week showed courage as they took on a leadership role in the junior playground. Congratulations for acknowledging your fear and doing your Peer Mediation role to the best of your ability.
EMPOWERED
Each week the students are introduced to four new character strengths. This week ZEST has been highlighted. The students have been invited to share the activities that energise them and the activities the take their energy. An interesting discussion.
