Focus on Positivity
Let’s take a moment to focus on the good things in life
What are we going to do in this activity?
This activity is all about noticing the good things in your life and sharing that positivity with others.
It doesn’t mean ignoring challenges of pretending everything is perfect – life can be tough sometimes.
Instead, it’s about finding moment of joy or things to appreciate, even on those harder days. Feeling and spreading positivity can make you feel happier and can brighten someone else’s day, too!
Before we start
Grab a pen & paper or your phone
You can write or type your thoughts, or just think about them if you prefer
Take Deep Breaths
Choose somewhere you can sit and refelct for a few minutes
Lets get started
1
Think of 3 Good Things
Write down or think of 3 things that made you smiles today or this week. It could be something big or small.
Maybe it was having a tasty snack, talking to a friend, hearing a favourite song, putting on your cosiest jumper…
2
Focus on someone else
Think of one person who makes you feel good. Or it could be a pet. What do you appreciate about them? Write it down, or tell them.
3
Smile to yourself
Even a small smile can help you feel better. Take a deep breath and smile for a moment
4
Spread kindness
Do one kind thing – send a nice message, compliment someone, help our around the house, offer to help a friend, smile to yourself lots…
5
Reflect on the Feeling
Pause, and notice how thinking about positive things or helping someone made you feel.
You did it !
Remember, positivity can be small things
Challenge time
If you’ve completed this activity, and would like to challenge yourself further, you could start a Positivity Journal where you write down 1 good thing each day.
Make a list of positive affirmations, like ” I am kind”, “I am strong”, or ” I can do great things”. Read them to yourself when you need a boost and a friendly word.
How did thinking about positive things make you feel?
What was the kind thing, and how did the person respond?
Did you see something good in your day you hadn't noticed before?
Well done for trying the positivity activity – we hope it helps.
