GRATITUDE – Paying attention to the things we have right now and not worrying about what we don’t have. We practise gratitude by noticing the positives around us.

EMPATHY – Putting ourselves in the shoes of others so we feel what they are feeling. We practise empathy by being kind and compassionate towards other people.

MINDFULNESS – Our ability to be calm and in the present moment. We practise mindfulness by slowing down and concentrating on one thing at a time.

EMOTIONAL LITERACY – Our ability to label our emotions, which helps us to soften negative emotions and find positive emotions, We practise emotional literacy by labelling our emotions as we experience them.
