Wellbeing Wednesday Activity - Appreciating the world around us
This week we are talking about Appreciating the world around us.
This activity will encourage you to connect with your environment, take some time to appreciate nature, and give you an opportunity to reflect back on your experience. This is a really nice exercise to share with your child, to help you reconnect after a tough day, or just for a mindful moment.
The activity...:
Step 1: Take 2 mins to walk around your environment (by environment we mean where ever you are at the moment, or a place that where you feel comfortable). Look closely around you for things you may not have noticed before.
Step 2: Find something in your environment that really resonates with you- it might be somewhere you have found beauty, warmth or interest in something you haven't seen before, or it might be something that makes you smile.
Step 3: Take a photo of it and post it here, or write a description of what you have found in your environment and why you were drawn to that particular thing.
Guiding principles for this exercise:
1. Remember to stay anonymous- make sure that any photos can not be identified. Please don't post photos of people
2. Make sure your photo or description is your own
3. Get creative and have fun!
We can't wait to hear your reflections!
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
