GRATITUDE:

This week’s presentation from The Resilience Project focuses on Gratitude.

Gratitude is paying attention to the things that we have right now, and not worrying about what we don’t have. We practise this by noticing the positives that exist around us.

Research shows that practicing gratitude rewires our brains to overcome the negativity bias (which can lead to anxiety and depression) and see the world for what we are thankful for. It is also shown to broaden thinking, and increase physical health through improved sleep and attitude to exercise.

There are many ways in which you can practise gratitude, including starting a gratitude journal. You can simply use a notebook to list three things that went well for you each day, or use a more comprehensive Wellbeing Journal, like those created by The Resilience Project.

Holiday Helplines

Sometimes kids will struggle over the holidays as they miss out on the connections and routine that school provides. If your child needs someone to talk to over the break, there are a few options for them:

• Homepage | Kids Helpline
• Talk or chat online to a counsellor - Beyond Blue
• Online & phone support | headspace (eheadspace.org.au)
• QLife - Support and Referrals
