Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal – 54 – Halloween Fun

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 53 - Celebration

Many people around the world are celebrating Halloween, but there are lots of different occasions that people like to mark as special. 

These occasions are a good time to re-connect with others and enjoy special times. What do you like to celebrate?

Nature is all around us. It can be annoying or threatening, but it can also help us to experience a sense of peace, joy and wonder.

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 51 - Bee Positive

 I couldn’t resist using these cute little bees for a border, and they look so happy, as if they’re encouraging us to “bee” positive. 

What helps to keep you positive?

      

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 50 - Animal Appreciation

Whether you have pets or just appreciate animals in the wild, in a zoo or farm, or even just on TV, they can give us a range of emotions from a simple sense of comfort to wonder and amazement.

Sometimes, we make our own luck, but often fate steps in and things just go our way.

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 48 - Here Comes the Sun

People, animals and plants all need the sun; it’s essential for life, so it’s worth appreciating. 

Even when it’s cloudy or stormy, we know the sun is still there behind the clouds!

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 47 - Poetry

 Poetry can powerful, from simple poems & nursery rhymes that help children enjoy the rhythms of language to poetry that helps us to visualise scenes and experiences and taps into our emotions.

Simple poems and chants can also be fun for children. When I was teaching pre-school many years ago, my students used to enjoy “personal poems” which incorporated their own names using alliteration or rhyming.

I have put these together in an online collection of poems which can be used for many different names, at www.poems-for-children.webs.com. You are welcome to use any of these poems for your personal/educational use.

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 44 - Mistakes

Mistakes are vital, to help us to learn (and sometimes to give us something to laugh about later). 

I've published these posters in a previous post, several years ago, but they're worth adding again here:

Just as well, otherwise how would we ever progress?

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 40 - Sharing is Caring

There's something quite magical about sharing – it gives a warm feeling to the giver as well as the receiver!

 Small things can give a lot of pleasure, even if it's just putting your feet up and having a cuppa after a hard day.

What small pleasures are you thankful for?

  

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 38 - Sing a Song ...

Singing, and even thinking about singing, helps our brain to relax by releasing dopamine. 

So look up some favourite or new songs online (help support live musicians by buying some of their music), 

dig out those old CDs you used to love to sing along to,

pick up that guitar or ukulele you've always wanted to learn (my website CathysChords.com has lots of songs, from easy 2-chord songs to more complex ones), 

or just break out in song!

Positive Posts - Gratitude Journal - 36 - No Place Like Home

Whether it's a mansion or a humble cottage, there's no place like home. 

Your home can be a place of comfort, relaxation, refuge, safety. 

Do you have a favourite spot? What makes your home special?
