Reflect on 3 things that you are grateful for.
It could be anything, small, large, ordinary or profound. Write them down.
Start a Gratitude Bank. You could do this together as a group – perhaps coming back to it each week to give and take form the gratitude bank!
Find a jar or box and label or decorate it as a Gratitude Bank. Daily, or as regularly as you can manage from time to time, write down things that you are grateful for onto slips of paper and deposit them in the jar or box. This could be a great thing to do as a team.
Withdraw from the Gratitude Bank from time to time. Especially when feeling ready for inspiration and motivation.
As a group activity, take it in turns to withdraw from the Bank and read out to the rest of the group.
Then, the person who’s ‘gratitude deposit’ is being read out can choose to say something or tell a story about it, if they want.

English
Cymraeg
Simply reflect on gratitude. When reflecting on gratitude, try and hold each thought or statement of gratitude in mind (and heart) for at least 20 seconds of slow deep relaxed and mindful breathing, really mindfully ‘leaning into’ any feelings generated by the gratitude.
