The 7 Healthy Habits Series

Thrive Collective artists painted a series of 15 murals at PS 78 in the Bronx based on the book The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey. The seven habits are:

  1. Be Proactive
  2. Begin With the End in Mind
  3. Put First Things First
  4. Think Win-Win
  5. Think First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
  6. Synergize
  7. Sharpen the Saw

``Sharpen the Saw``

This mural is about preserving and enhancing the greatest asset we have—ourselves. It is about taking the time to renew our energy from day to day.

The mural focuses on four areas of self-care: physical, social, emotional and creative. The first image is of a child engaging in physical activity. As he plays soccer, he passes the ball to a girl who is painting and creating her own world. The next image is of a child getting lost in a book and immersing himself within that world. The last image is of a girl traveling and exploring different places, eager to expand her horizon.
