Acquire A Skill: Try writing a poem! Your poem can be about nature if you choose or you can write a poem about anything! You can even make up a word and create a poem around that word. Watch the attached video to get some ideas on poem writing. Write your poem in your journal.?
Showing gratitude takes practice. This activity asks you to draw a tree (or print the attached) to focus your gratitude. The curves on the ground show what the things that ground or support you are. Your trunk is your gratitude, the big branches the most important people/things in your life, the smaller branches, and the smaller things in life. You can see an example of a completed tree on our school counseling web site.
