The Czech Slovak IAYSP team hosted the third session of RISE with us! project online.
In our daily life, we may encounter hardships and moments when we feel low self-esteem. Experiences such as these lead us in altering our attitude and creating a different, sometimes negative approach towards life. However, living in this manner negatively impacts our potential to live healthy lives while in pursuit of our life dreams and goals.
This is a key reason as to why the attitudes we adopt are essential in our lives. Czech Slovak IAYSP thereupon decided to conduct a session on gratitude.

They explained how a life filled with gratitude is key to feeling happier and making progress in life.
In the third session, there was a short introduction of IAYSP and the Rise with Us! series, followed by a personality test as an icebreaker activity.
Afterwards, two interactive five-seven minute lectures on how to develop gratitude as an attitude in our life were presented. Each lectures was accompanied with question-and-answer sections to encourage reflection and sharing and recording of ideas into online workbooks.
Concluding the event, participants shared as a group regarding their thoughts of the content, concepts and ideas they had learned, and share a precious memory they have of someone doing something they still highly regard and appreciate even today.
