2020
has been quite the year for all of us-as a school, country, and nation. In the midst of it
all, though, I know that it’s possible to feel the heaviness of what’s
unfolding AND also allow ourselves to feel gratitude for what’s going well in
our world. The two are not mutually exclusive! With
gratitude being our moral focus virtue this month, I would like to invite you
to participate in a 30-day gratitude challenge. There are many versions of the gratitude challenge,
but to keep things simple, all you need to do for the Keystone Gratitude
Challenge is to write one thing that you are grateful for every day-for a total
of 30 things.
There
are many benefits for expressing gratitude. Psychology research has shown that gratitude touches on many aspects of
our lives. Our emotions, personality, social dynamics, career success, and most
of all our health.
In addition to seeing an increase in our moods and
well-being, all participating staff members will receive a jean pass for every
week that they participate for a total of 4 jean passes. You will turn in your
weekly gratitude list to me every Friday for the month of November. If you feel
that it’s difficult to find 30 different things, google ideas and/or calendars.
I will be using the image below to assist me on days that may be difficult. 😊
