Truly Madly Smiley

Have you ever noticed that some days you wake up raring to go and the day seems to be easy and fun; whereas other days you wake up and feel like somebody has pulled the plug on your energy? Your get up and go has got up and gone! Here’s what you’ll hear this episode:

All the things which could be potentially zapping you of your energy

What you can do to help yourself keep your energy high

Helpful Smiley StuffThe idea for this episode came from the book: ‘Have you filled your bucket today?’ by Carol McCloud. This is my vision board I look at every morning. Over on the blog, parents might like to read ‘Have you got the definition of true confidence wrong?’ because often we have negative connotations and beliefs around confidence which are not true. You can pick up a box of my very popular Smiley Thought Cards (affirmation cards). These are 40 beautifully illustrated photos with uplifting words for the whole family. Check out the new freebie over in the Online Learning Den called ‘A Beginner’s Guide to a Growth Mindset..  This is how you keep your mindset game strong! Don’t create holes in your own bucket.

If you’ve ever played the game Chinese Whispers, you’ll know that what starts out as a story is changed by being passed around in a whisper. Each time the story is repeated it differs slightly from the original so that the final version can be utter nonsense. When this comes to gossip amongst friends, what starts out as innocent story telling can sometimes become a lot more serious.

Here’s what you’ll hear this episode:

Why talking about other people is unhealthy

Why you should make your own decisions about other people and not listen to gossip

How gossip turns to bullying

How bullies stay powerful and what to do when you’re being bullied

What you can do to stop gossip in its tracks

How do you spot a fake friend over a real one? Do you know the difference? It’s really important that you surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you. You deserve the very best in life and to be treated with love and kindness.

It took me such a long time to realise that I am in charge of my brain and I can help myself climb out of thought holes....or maybe not even get stuck in them in the first place. So in today’s episode, I want to help you understand your brain a bit better because nobody teaches us this stuff at school and it’s going to really help you. There’s quite a bit to cover and as usual, there will be Smiley stories to keep us going.

Have you ever lost something? Or maybe you even worry that you might forget something really important? Do you leave your belongings behind or forget where you have put them? Yep, me too. Don’t worry! Smiley help is at hand. I’ll show you that all you really need is your voice, trust and a little patience. Listen in and have fun learning a quick trick to help you next time you or your belongings get a little bit lost.

If you are afraid of the dark, have no fear because Smiley is here! I am too and I want to share with you some of the helpful things I did growing up which might help you too. Or if you have a friend that is scared of the dark, maybe you could share it with them. That would be a kind thing to do.
