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!

Challenge:

1. Comment below / write down in your journal 10 things that you think you are good at

2. Have more than 10? Keep going!!

3. Take a second to give yourself some praise & a pat on the back for being so amazing!
