Take a moment to reflect…
As another school year draws to a close, it may be tempting to hurtle headlong into the summer weeks stretching out before us; it is full of possibilities and potential, laughter and lie-ins.
But, before you dive into summer (and that is not to say that you shouldn’t, by the way), take a moment to reflect on all that you have achieved this year:
What has changed in your body, mind or perspective?
What have you learned?
What have you got better at?
Who did you help support?
Who helped or supported you?
What has surprised you?
What has made you laugh?
What have you contributed to the world just by being your unique, remarkable self?
We often find it a challenge to see the good in ourselves that everyone else can see so easily. Your value does not need to be sporting, academic or certificated success because your value is in who you are every day – the person that enriches the lives of others without always knowing it.
So please pause for a moment. Take time to feel proud of yourself… and then head into your summer with a big deep breath and a smile.
