Thank You Card

6/10/2020

Gratitude is an important aspect of being happy and resilient. Think of someone you're grateful for. Why not make a card, write a message of thanks and send it to them. Not only will it brighten their day, but it's good for your mental health too. You could make a card for:

a friend
your parents
an aunt
your sister
a grandparent
a mentor
youth group leader
a teacher
chaplain
someone who has helped or encouraged you.

Keep an eye out for an easy DIY watercolour card video on Thursday!

If you are self isolating or social distancing or just plain bored, try exercising your brain. Dr Lawrence Katz wrote a book, Keep Your Brain Alive: 83 Neurobic Exercises to Help Prevent Memory Loss and Increase Mental Fitness - one of the exercises is to switch to your non-preferred hand to do daily tasks. You can find a few more of them at https://bebrainfit.com.
