The Resilience Project app
This app is a daily well-being journal where you can identify and track your emotions, record moments of gratitude, and practice mindfulness. The aim is to develop emotional literacy, engage with the positive things in life, and be actively present.
The app is suitable for all ages, and includes the option to create profiles for each member of the family. Download via iTunes or Google Play.
The Imperfects Podcast
In this podcast, Hugh, Josh, and Ryan chat to a variety of interesting people who bravely share their struggles and imperfections, and we all learn some valuable take-aways we can apply to our own imperfect lives.
Gratitude
Some benefits of practising gratitude are:
- After 21 days, you start to scan the world for positives.
- After 42 days you become:
- More optimistic, energised & focused.
- Less likely to get sick.
- You will sleep better.
- Anxiety and depression decreases.
A few quick and simple ways to practise being grateful are:
- Journaling; each night write down 3 things that went well for you that day or purchase a gratitude journal with gratitude prompts.
- Write a gratitude letter to someone special, telling them why you are grateful they are in your life.
- Have a family discussion on the way home from school or around the dinner table about the things that went well that day or made you smile.
You can purchase 21-day, 6-month, and family journals from The Resilience Project website if that is something you’re interested in.
