Last week we learned about our last habit from the “7 Habits of Happy Kids.” Habit #7 is “Sharpen the Saw” (Balance Feels Best). This habit stresses the importance of taking care of our bodies by eating right, exercising and getting sleep. It also encourages us to spend time with family and friends; to learn in many ways, at many places (not just at school); to find meaningful ways to help others; and to take time to relax and just be in the moment. In other words, we want to find balance by engaging in a variety of activities that use our minds, our bodies, our hearts, and our souls. In our busy lives, this habit can actually be one of the hardest!
