Empathy in Action
Spend some time watching a show or movie. At any given time,
pause & discuss how the characters are feeling. You might
ask:“How are they feeling?” and “How would you feel if that
happened to you?” Use this to build on considering how
others feel, discussing social cues, & caring about emotions
Movie Recommendation of the week

Create a diy project
WEEK#1
DIY ("Do It Yourself") can help to save the planet
through recycling and upcycling. Creating and making
things yourself also gives you a sense of pride and
defines your personal style – it allows you to stand
out from the crowd and makes you special.
For DIY motivations check out these links:
stargaze
Get to Know the Night Sky. There is plenty to see
that doesn't require the use of a telescope, so
people that are new to stargazing don't need to
buy one to enjoy what that the night sky has to
offer. The simplest way is to use one of the many
astronomy apps on your smartphone or tablet.

exercise and has immense benefits. You can lose about
0.17 calories while climbing up & 0.05 calories while
climbing down a single step. At this rate, if you climb
stairs for at least half an hour every day, you are
bound to burn enough calories & lose weight

reading & cause listeners to have to pay more attention
All in the Mind - Poduced by BBC Radio 4 looks at the
limits and potential of the human mind, covering
everything from mindfulness to the issue of loneliness
in modern life. Well worth a listen:
