This week, I had the incredible opportunity to present at The Kids Foundation on the topic of “Wellbeing: Fake It ‘Till You Make It”, during their Injury and Trauma Recovery Camp that was held in Hunter Valley, NSW. It was truly an inspiring experience, delving into the profound connection between our mindset and our wellbeing.
In today’s fast-paced world, where stress and uncertainty often take centre stage, prioritising our mental and emotional health has never been more crucial, especially for our young ones. With this in mind, I aimed to shed light on a powerful concept: the notion of “faking it till you make it.”
The essence of this concept lies in the transformative power of our thoughts and behaviours. By consciously adopting positive attitudes, behaviours, and habits—even when we may not initially feel them—we can gradually reshape our mindset, help to release the “feeling good” chemicals in our brain, and improve our overall wellbeing.
During the presentation, we explored various practical strategies and techniques for effectively implementing this mindset shift. From gratitude practices and easy physical exercises to positive self-talk and goal-setting, each tool served as a building block for fostering resilience, self-confidence, and emotional balance.
Take Aways
One key takeaway was the importance of authenticity in this process. “Faking it” doesn’t mean pretending to be someone we’re not; rather, it involves aligning our actions with our aspirations and values, even in the face of challenges. By embracing authenticity and embracing vulnerability, we create genuine connections with ourselves and others, nurturing a sense of belonging and purpose.
Moreover, we delved into the ripple effect of positivity. By cultivating our own wellbeing, we not only enhance our individual lives but also contribute to a more supportive and uplifting environment for those around us. As caregivers, educators, and mentors, our influence extends far beyond ourselves, shaping the experiences and outlooks of the next generation.
In the spirit of continuous growth and learning, I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity to share these insights with The Kids Foundation community. Together, let’s continue to empower our youth with the tools and mindset they need to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
Remember, the journey to wellbeing is not about perfection; it’s about progress, resilience, and the courage to embrace our authentic selves. Let’s keep inspiring each other to shine bright and live wholeheartedly!
