Promote Positive Well Being
We talked about 5 things today to help promote positive well being. I asked the residents to name the following: something that makes you happy, something that makes you smile, something that you like to do, something that makes you laugh and something that makes you feel safe. Some answers came very quickly to the residents, especially what makes them laugh. Others took a little more time to answer each question carefully. It was interesting to find out what makes them safe. The answers varies from a hug, the environment, being close to someone or just being here with us. The residents recalled happy memories when thinking of things they like to do. Talking about long cycle rides with friends every Sunday and the giggles they had. This activity made each resident smile, reflect and think in a positive way about their well being.
