Flourish: 目的と前向きな気持ちで生きるためのクラブ

Do you want to feel more confident, positive, and act intentionally every day? The habits we build - such as gratitude, mindfulness, time management, goal setting, and self-compassion—shape how we navigate life. But without practice and intention, they can easily slip away! In this ongoing weekly club, you will get the tools, strategies, reminders, and support to make these habits part of your routine, helping you stay motivated, manage time effectively, and live with purpose and positivity. Let’s build a life that truly flourishes!

When we live with intention and positivity, every part of our life improves. We feel more energized, approach each day with a positive attitude as well as confidence, and build better relationships. This mindset shapes how we treat others, how we see ourselves, and how well we stay motivated and productive in school and other activities.

In each class, the teacher will guide and support learners in building positive habits. Together, we’ll reflect on what we are grateful for, explore a new life skill or self-improvement topic, and set personal goals based on our weekly theme. Our class environment will be encouraging and positive, and learners are welcome to share with the class at their own comfort level.

To flourish means to grow, thrive, and live fully and with purpose. Let’s flourish together this summer!

Each class meeting will follow the same format:

1.	Easy Game or Check-In Question
2.	Gratitude prompt
3.	Teacher-led Lesson about a self-improvement or life skills topic (see specific topics below)
4.	Discussion 
5.	5-10-minute Journaling Time 
6.	Identify Goals

Please note that as part of this class is discussion-based, class may end earlier than the allotted time if fewer learners are present or if learner sharing is limited. Thank you for understanding.

Please have pen & paper with you when you log into class.

Emotional Awareness helps us identify our feelings and recognize, respect, and accept them. This helps us resolve conflicts better and handle difficult feelings more easily. We will talk about how to build emotional awareness.

August 12th – Being Instead of Doing: Doing is getting things done. Doing helps us accomplish what we need & want to do, but it can wear us down. Being is noticing where you are and who you are right now, being fully present in the current moment. It gives us a needed break from doing. We will talk about how to transition from doing to being mode and how to tell when that is needed.
