Hey Team! Today's weekly reminder- It's
00:00:03:07 - 00:00:06:24
so, so simple
and I hope that you find it easy to do.
00:00:06:40 - 00:00:09:42
But all I want you to do
is list ten things.
00:00:09:42 - 00:00:12:43
At least that is the minimum
that you are good at.
00:00:12:43 - 00:00:15:03
I know a lot of our weekly
reminders are about
00:00:15:06 - 00:00:18:03
how we can better ourselves,
how we can improve.
00:00:18:12 - 00:00:21:28
But today is really about
finding the things that you're great at
00:00:21:39 - 00:00:23:15
and then patting yourself on the back
00:00:23:15 - 00:00:25:16
for them,
because we really don't do that enough.
00:00:25:17 - 00:00:27:12
Now, don't think about it too deeply.
00:00:27:12 - 00:00:30:28
It doesn't need to be this really unique
skill of yours.
00:00:30:36 - 00:00:34:12
It could be something that you're
just really good at on a day to day basis.
00:00:34:21 - 00:00:37:19
Depending on how comfortable you are,
it'd be good to get specific.
00:00:37:19 - 00:00:39:27
So instead of just saying, "I'm
a good friend",
00:00:39:27 - 00:00:42:12
you could go into details like "I'm
a really good listener".
00:00:42:12 - 00:00:43:35
"I give great advice".
00:00:43:35 - 00:00:45:40
"I'm always there for my
friends when they need me".
00:00:47:20 - 00:00:51:00

Dudley and Daisy!
00:00:54:06 - 00:00:54:39
and that's it.
00:00:54:39 - 00:00:55:28
Comment below
00:00:55:28 - 00:00:59:27
with ten things that you're really good at
and let's celebrate them today.
00:00:59:45 - 00:01:01:23
Thanks, team. Speak soon.
It can be easy to focus on the things we're not good at, but that’s not what today’s weekly reminder is all about. Usually we look at areas of our life that we can improve and grow in, but this week we celebrate how amazing we are!
Everyone has talents and things they are good at! It's important to recognise all the amazing things we have going for us, because it helps us to stay positive and motivated.
Here are some of the things you're probably good at, even if you don't realise it!
Being a great friend (e.g. I’m a good listener, I always give thoughtful gifts, I give great advice)
Hobbies & passions (e.g. I’m great at gaming, I’m good at playing an instrument, I always make really tasty food)
Business & Education (e.g. I’m good at getting things done on time, I’m good at pushing others out of their comfort zone so they can achieve more, I’m good at making money, I’m good at thinking of creative ideas)
Parenting (e.g. I’m good at knowing what my baby needs, I’m patient, I’m very understanding, I give great cuddles, I function pretty well off minimal sleep)
Fitness & Sports (e.g. I’m a great long distance runner, I am flexible, I am good at being consistent & going to the gym regularly, I’m great at staying hydrated and taking care of my body)
So go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back - you deserve it!
