Gratitude

Not the most amazing photograph - but hopefully the sentiment is there. In my role as occupational therapist with a residential eating disorder service we use a range of therapeutic interventions- including creative. The session was a follow up to a discussion on resilience- identifying gratitude as being one aspect .. so we created a Gratitude Jar that staff and clients can contribute to. Research shows that practicing gratitude greatly contributes to wellbeing. ( I can testify to this!) The box contains blank slips of paper alongside a range of idea prompts…

Sounds like a great source of healing and motivation. I like the overhead pov.

That sounds so amazing, good that something so simple could help. Lovely shot and pov.

I can imagine that practising gratitude does promote wellbeing. It focuses the mind of the positive things in life, rather than dwelling on the negatives. Nice POV for this image too.

I've offered decorating jars and slips for young people to help them with mental resilience (it's in one of the Guide activity packs and other places) - most recently in after school youthwork
