Now that you have prioritized 3 goals to start with and chosen a Next Step for each, we would like you to focus on achieving these... we will do this in 3 steps:
Identifying your 'Signature' Strengths
Harnessing your strengths to progress each goal
Introduce you to the Coach and Be Coached model to support each other through these
Facilitators will now give you your copy of the Now & Next colouring book, which participants have nicknamed the 'Mindfulness' book. It contains program exercises and contents, and also pages that can be coloured.
Colouring helps you slow down and feel calm, so it’s easier to focus. It helps you stay in the moment and think clearly about your Now and your Next. There is no right or wrong—Even if colouring is not your 'thing'... you could give it a try and see what you feel!

Please open your Mindfulness Book to the Signature Strength Shield and Signature Strength cards (p. 14 & 15). Colour the strengths that make you think ‘Yep, that’s me!’ stick them on your shield. You can choose between 5-8 signature strengths for yourself.
Some people don’t know what their strengths are….today you are given the opportunity to think about them.
For those who want to dig deeper there is also an online Signature Strength Survey, which we will include in our follow up email.
When you have completed your Signature Strength shield, take a photo of the shield.
Many families have enjoyed doing this activity with the whole family. If you would like to create a Signature Strength Shield for your children or significant other there are more templates in the back of your Mindfulness book. It is important that everyone in the family gets an opportunity to exercise and be recognised for the unique strengths they bring to the family.
Next, we'll review and achieve the first step to your family goal!
