Gratitude Jars

This week our 1st, 2nd and 3rd years have been looking at gratitude in their tutor classes. “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
 – Oprah Winfrey They took a moment to reflect on how fortunate we really are and notice the little things that we can sometimes take for granted things such as: • Having a place to live • Food to eat • Easy access to clean water • Family around us • Friends in our lives • Good health Benefits of Gratitude: • An “attitude of gratitude” can improve your overall well-being. • Finding little ways to express your appreciation and be more thankful can have a really positive impact on your life. • Gratitude can improve your physical health. • Gratitude can improve your psychological health. • Gratitude can improve your self-esteem. • Gratitude can increase your mental strength. • Grateful people usually sleep better. This week the students were tasked with reflecting back on the last few weeks, since the school closure, think with gratitude about who or what has got you to this point. They then had two options to display as a gratitude jar: 1. Fill an actual jar with pieces of paper containing all that you are grateful for 2. Draw and design your own gratitude jar on paper.
