Would You Get a Gold Star Today

The Gold Star. What did you have to do to earn one of these in school? If the same performance was expected of you today, would you have anything next to your name? As the school year begins, let’s evaluate our ‘gold star worthiness” again.

Performance. Are you giving 100% as you work through your tasks each day? Could you do better?

Gym Class. Honestly, we all know we should exercise but are we doing it? Are we becoming good examples for the kids in our lives? Could we walk five minutes longer or take the stairs?

Share. If you have two cookies and a good friend, are you sharing your treats? Play Nice. We have all been the new kid, right? Is there a new intern, employee, even a fellow parent who doesn’t know the ropes yet? Be nice and help him/her through!

Recess. Don’t forget to take 15 minutes to relax. This can go a long way in a full, often stressful day!

Sing. Sing a song. Don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear. Just sing out loud. It will always put a smile on your face!

So how did you do? Here is to a whole week of earning your gold stars!
