Yesterday I did My first Happy Hugs Movement at a Local Primary school.

A specially selected group of children ( students who may not usually get picked for an activty or might not be excelling in other areas) helped to design and paint the hugs

The aim of this activity to empoer Children to add value to the school and pass on the message of the HUGS

Benefits:

Hopefully
when students see their hug or artwork on the pavement or in the school grounds
they are reminded of what the creation stands for and can improve upon
themselves.

Help — what makes everyone’s lives
better, what benefits the school, introducing the idea of altruism and thinking
about others.

Unite — working together on a common
goal, showing that to achieve a lot its better to call on friends and build
together

Grow — as individuals we will need to
evaluate our behaviour and aim to improve upon it. As people when we get older
we don’t just grow in age and height but our characters and personalities grow
so we need to nurture them with positivity, just like a tree needs clean water
to grow healthy and strong and not dirty water, we need to fuel our bodies and
minds in the best healthiest way possible. The session will Introduce the idea
of personal growth activities like mindfulness, positive self talk, self
awareness etc.
