This
month we are talking about the character trait of Gratitude! 

 

For
the month of January we are focusing on the character trait of Gratitude
at FES. The definition we are using is:  

 

Choosing to notice and appreciate things
in our life, things in others and things in the world.

 

 

 

We will be sharing with students that Gratitude is: 1) a
choice that we get to make over and over again on where we put our focus
and 2) doesn’t always have to be about something positive. 

 

 

We can feel grateful even for tough or challenging things in our life! There is
plenty of research that shows a strong connection between Gratitude and reduced
anxiety, increased happiness, and better relationships. Over the course of the
month, we will talk about amazing people who demonstrate Gratitude in various
ways. We will talk about what we are grateful for in ourselves and in others.
And we will even find Gratitude in some things we would not expect to be
thankful for!
