Gratitude

Gratitude enhances our emotional and physical well-being. It is the practice of focusing on what we have, noticing and appreciating the positives in our world.

Gratitude creates benefits such as: happiness; increased resilience; improved self-esteem; better quality sleep; lower stress; and more meaningful relationships.

Tips for practicing gratitude: slow down and be mindful of what you have to be grateful for; schedule time to journal your appreciation for what you have; focus on what you have and what is going well; recognise and acknowledge others and share your gratitude with them; and show gratitude by practicing generosity.

I am an early childhood teacher with over twenty year’s experience, and understand the complexity of the early childhood profession, and the impact it can have on individuals. Through the experience of supporting individuals to attain certification in the early childhood profession, I became aware the path to empowerment was already within them. My own journey of transformation began as I looked at ways to assist their self discovery and empowerment. The skills I have acquired can be applied to all individuals and teams who are seeking direction, change, and life balance. My journey has progressed to where I am currently equipped with the skills to coach individuals seeking to clarify their own life journey and restore balance into their lives.
