Why? Because this helps staff see all of the GOOD things that are happening at school before they work on the more complex problems…and when we feed good, we solve problems more effectively, so this strategy just makes sense!

Have you smiled today? A good reminder that, when it comes to our wellbeing, little things can make a big impact. I hope this inspires you to take a moment to smile at a stranger, a colleague, someone serving you, or even at yourself in the mirror, sometime today!

Missed my FREE webinar last week? Never fear, here's a teaser... One regulation strategy I shared was the 'emotions wheel'. This strategy is based on research out of UCLA showing the action of naming our emotions out loud helps calm us & manage the emotion more effectively.

It's a true joy to see my research come to life! Now used in over 180 schools around the world, it's heartwarming to see the impact that my research, embedded within Visible Wellbeing, has had on students and teachers across the globe. #VisibleWellbeing #PositivePsychology

Psychology research shows us that the best way to build our wellbeing 'bank account' is through regular, small contributions, or 'mini moments' of wellbeing. In other words, it’s the pennies (not just the pounds) that create emotional wealth! leawaters.com/shop/wellbeing…

I had coffee with a friend the other day and joked self-deprecatingly, but her eyes widened, "shhhhh! Your brain is listening!" Since then, I've been kinder with my words about myself because...my brain is always listening! Did anyone else need this reminder today?

Savouring involves paying a moment or two of extra attention to the things that make us feel good each day...like swishing around wine to enhance the flavour! These small moments accumulate, building up our resilience and capacity to cope with stress throughout the day.

A little reminder that small moments of loss can lead to new beginnings! Although...I'm still a bit annoyed at Council for cutting down my favourite tree! haha 🌲♻️ #NewBeginnings #NatureMatters #UrbanForestry #SustainableLiving #NatureInTheCity #LocalNature #TreeHugger

Relational Savouring involves telling your loved ones about the good things that happened in your day, or savouring good moments that have happened between you both, and has been found to increase the quality of your relationships. Who will you share good news with this week?

I’ve loved sharing the science behind Savouring over the last few weeks, so I thought I’d share my ‘Go-To Savouring List’ with you! What’s on your savouring list?

I decided to go for a ‘savouring walk’ in my garden on the weekend. I noticed these beautiful flowers had come into bloom! I savored their colour, I felt their texture, I smelt their beautiful perfume, and I smiled as I thought about the moment I first planted them!

Thanks to St Margaret's Berwick Grammar for inviting me to speak about the neuroscience of belonging and how feeling connected to others changes our brain chemistry.
