I need your brain 😬

Okay folks, I need your brains on this one please! 🧠✨

I’m currently redesigning the PAWS classroom and rebuilding the materials from scratch, and I’d love your input on something.

The original PAWS method was:

P — Present Moment

A — Appreciation

W — Wonder

S — Share

Originally, Appreciation was intended to be more than simply noticing something we appreciate and expand with it. It was also about staying with it for a moment and really taking it in.

Then

@Melanie Sweeney

beautifully brought up the idea of savouring, and now I’m wondering where it most naturally belongs in the PAWS process.

So, which feels more intuitive and potent to you?

Option 1: A — Appreciate in a savouring way

You notice what you appreciate and consciously linger with it, letting the moment really land.

Option 2: S — Savour (before it was Share)

You move through Present Moment → Appreciation → Wonder, and then finish by savouring and/or sharing the experience.

I quite like the idea of savouring coming at the end, almost like tying a bow around the little gift you’ve just given yourself. 🎁

But I’m curious about what feels most natural to YOU when you actually imagine using PAWS in everyday life.

Where would you put Savour? Is it more important than Sharing? Because I could also just make the S- Savour instead of Share?

I also was really taken in what

@Jane Purdon

shared with us in a thread. I don't want that people feel pressure to share constantly on social media. It was encouraged during the 28 day challenge to build a habit (which Jane clearly beautifully did and inspired many of us) and now its finding a way to live and integrate it. The sharing aspect is more to put high vibes into the world, and as a community we use the science of capatalisation (we enhance it and witness it) and then these experiences become contagious and it spreads. So I do like that aspect. But I don't want that people feel obligated to do it.

I'd love your input on this please. Re-creating the classroom and all the posters is massive work so I want to get it right and most importantly, make it practical.

and

...how do you feel about it?

Everyone is welcome to give feedback of course and it's very appreciated.

Much love to you all

Birdy 💛
