"The 'Draw a Scene' was a great activity to take a brief pause from everything going on. I felt relaxed afterwards, and saw things I had never noticed before in my local park."
What next?
- Frame your ‘Thought Flower’ and hang it up where you will see it regularly
- Do one complete ‘Thought Flower’ each month and create a memory booklet of your year
- Put a completed ‘Thought Flower’ in an envelope; post it to yourself in a month’s time. You’ll most likely have forgotten what you recorded, so it should be a nice surprise
- Create a ‘Thought Flower’ when you next go on holiday
- When off sick from work, college or daily life or simply during a low period in life, try to create a ‘Thought Flower.’ Even though you may not feel very positive when you start, studies show that exercises like this can help you regain some zest for life by helping you concentrate on affirming cheerful thoughts
