Weekly Mission: Recognize Your Accomplishments

As this school year is winding down, and summer break is around the corner, we want you to look back at all of the achievements you have accomplished this year! We know that many of our followers are advancing to the next grade at their school, getting ready to graduate, or perhaps starting a new career! We want you to take the time and remember all the great things that are happening around you, because you have worked so hard to get where you are!

 

Tuesday: There are many ways to Recognize Your Accomplishments; you can start a list that you can gradually add too. Remember when you aced that test, or held that door for someone even though you were having an off day! Those are great accomplishments, and nothing is too big or too small. If you feel good about it, then add it!

 

Wednesday: You can create a slide show of pictures from all of the events you participated in this year!  

 

Thursday: You can go through old year books with friends and reminisce about your favorite memories from those years. This is a good way to refresh your memory and remind you of all the amazing times and friends you have in your life.

 

Friday: Recognize a friend for their accomplishments. Sometimes it’s hard for individuals to see what they have accomplished, therefore telling them what they have accomplished can help them see for themselves how awesome they really are!

 

You have already achieved so much, we are so proud of all of you for choosing to make a difference and enhance other’s lives! Keep in mind what you’ve already accomplished, and strive to keep going!

Weekly Mission: Anonymous Nice Gesture

This week try doing something nice for someone without having the gratification of being accredited for it. Do something nice for someone anonymously- it will make you feel just as good as being recognized for your actions. Being acknowledged for the good we do is very important, however, nice gestures that we do without recognition show the kind of person you truly are. It shows your character.

 

Tuesday: Let someone go before you while holding the door for them.

 

Wednesday:  Send an anonymous letter telling someone how much they are appreciated. It has more power than you could imagine. This could change their day or even their week around.

 

Thursday: Do something simple and small; pay for someone’s coffee that is behind you in line.

 

Friday:  Clean something up, even if you didn’t make the mess. This should be anonymously but sometimes it is hard to make it anonymous. Doing something like cleaning up someone else’s mess can help relieve someone else’ time and benefit more than that one person, it can benefit every around you.

 

The possibilities with this week’s mission are endless. We do not want these gestures to go completely anonymous as we encourage you to tell us your stories of any outstanding anonymous nice gestures you did this week.

Weekly Mission: Lend a Hand

Lending a hand to someone in need is a small gesture that can make a huge difference.

 

Tuesday: Help someone who has their hands full

Wednesday: Volunteer at a local organization.

Thursday: Help someone in your household out with their chores. It could be doing the laundry, or cooking dinner. Do something that you don’t already do but could help someone else and give them a free hand.

Friday: Lend a hand to yourself. Instead of continuing to put everything on the back burner, put it next on your To-do list and get it done. It’s alright to spend some time doing something for yourself.

Weekly Mission: Send a Positive Message

Social Media is everywhere, and almost everyone uses it in one way or another. Most of the time it’s just to update status’, upload pictures, or to re-tweet quotes you read throughout the day that inspire you. Every once in a while, Social Media is used in a negative manner. We challenge you to abstain from using your words to hurt, and to post something positive on a friend’s wall or feed! There are numerous ways to make others feel good by using the World Wide Web, but you don’t need the internet to make someone smile by using kind words.

 

We know some of our followers are younger, so we encourage everyone to leave a note for a loved one, family, friend, teacher, peer, or co-worker with your favorite uplifting lyrics, or tell them what they did that really made you happy recently, or how proud you are of them if they recently overcame an obstacle or achievement.

 

Tuesday: Post a picture with a close family member and tell them how they make you feel. Sometimes hearing from your loved ones how much they appreciate you can make for a better day.

 

Wednesday: Complement someone’s display picture in a positive manner- It can really help to build that person's self-confidence.

 

Thursday: If you see your friend is going through some sort of dilemma, offer to meet her/him to coffee to talk about everything. You could just simply say "I’m here if you need me". This lets that person know that when they are ready to talk, you are there for them.

 

Friday: You can e-mail your co-workers “good morning” and wish them a good day.

Weekly Mission: Take A Stand

Standing up for what you believe in takes a lot of courage. This week we challenge you to plant your feet firmly into something you believe in. You can alert your local MP about some suggestions you have for your community, or donate to a cause you feel strongly for. Right any wrong-doings that you have seen, if you know someone might get hurt, or feel uncomfortable about a situation going on around you, talk to someone! When you hear negative conversations, you can politely ask your peers to stop.

 

Taking a stand can be really scary, but when one person stands up for what they believe in then more are sure to follow. There’s strength in numbers, and leaders propagate change!

 

“Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.”

-Abraham Lincoln

 

Monday- Make friends with someone new. You can never have too many!

Tuesday- Speak up! If you see or hear someone doing something wrong, tell a teacher or adult.

Wednesday- Don’t give bullying an audience. Walk away and tell an adult. If you show that being a bystander isn’t cool, others will follow and spread the word.

Thursday- Tell the world what you believe in and maybe someone else believes in the same thing; you now have a new friend to talk to and spread your message with.

Friday- What would make your community an even better place? Take some notes and let your town know! You may have some ideas that they have never thought of!

 

Weekly Mission: Encourage Each Other

We all know how much easier it is to do something when we have someone who supports us. When you offer encouragement you are giving hope and/or support to someone else. Encouragement builds confidence. It gives us the mind-set that we are able to not only go after, but obtain the things we want and strive for. Celebrate the Hero is all about creating an environment that is conducive to all.

 

We encourage you to go out this week and give support to someone. We know you can do it! We believe in you!

 

“Take every opportunity to give others encouragement.”  ~ Lucy MacDonald

 

Tuesday: Encourage someone by attending their game/recital/wedding/event etc…

 

Wednesday: Call someone to wish them luck on a presentation/test/interview/important day

 

Thursday: Today, encourage yourself to do something you haven’t been able to build the confident to do. This can be anything you desire; calling someone, doing exercise, writing a test etc..

 

Friday: Encourage someone who has done something wrong that everything will be okay. Apologize, and learn from the mistake. It’s alright to make mistakes, but the reason why mistakes are there, is to learn from them.
