I sometimes use this Rose, Thorn and Bud activity during my therapy sessions. However it can be used in different settings, such as school and home to help reflect on positive and challenging parts of the day or in life. Its great for encouraging children to share what’s on their mind in a fun way 🫶

I was so busy yesterday catching up on all the ‘jobs’ that needed doing in my personal life as I’d been working all week so I was rushing around like a loony! I stopped and noticed I’d been holding my breath often and my shoulders were tense, so I just stopped for five minutes, focused on relaxing my body and took some controlled breaths by inhaling, pausing then letting a slow exhale, I felt so much better afterwards and was more mindful of my feelings of overwhelm. 🫶🫶🫶
