Practicing Gratitude @belleriverbucs What are you thankful for that you already have? Let’s grow an attitude of gratitude by being grateful for the things that make us happy each day! This class had good ideas -family, friends, pets, sports, sun, fav colour, food. @gecdsbpro

LOVE Wk 7 lessons @belleriverbucs .Did you know our brain has a natural inclination to notice negative things, the bad stuff sticks! This negativity bias helped our ancestors survive but is not helpful today. Use GRATITUDE to rewire your brain so the positive stuff sticks too!

Mindfulness of thoughts @belleriverbucs We have 50 000-70 000 thoughts per day. How many are you even aware of? Have you been in a bad mood & didn’t know why? May be your own thoughts. You are not your thoughts. Thoughts come & go. Change the channel of your focus! @gecdsbpro
