"Sunshine for a cloudy day"

Crafting/creating can be a great way to help reset & refocus your brain. This week try to set aside some time where you can draw/paint/colour and give your brain a break.

(Remember it's not the outcome but the journey that brought us there)

💝September 21st is World Gratitude Day!💝

To celebrate try starting a gratitude journal!

A gratitude journal is what the name suggest, a journal dedicated to gratitude.

Journaling can be a great way to ground oneself. Maintaining connection and a sense of 'realness' in our busy schedules.

To get started:

1. find a paper and something to write with (We recommend writing over typing, but use what you have available to you)
2. Pause the Video
3. Choose at least one of the following prompts, or create your own.
4. Write an answer to the prompt(s)
5. Read over your answer(s) & try to expand on what you wrote.
6. Remember this is YOUR journal, it doesn't have to perfect, you can write as little or as much as you want.

Save this video for later to return to these prompts at your convivence.

If you found this video helpful, let us know by leaving a comment, or by sharing with a friend!😊
