Wellbeing Watering Can 💧 sleep · movement · salah and connection with Allah · gratitude · time outdoors · healthy friendships · positive self-talk · asking for help · doing things we enjoy · time with family · rest.

Because whatever we keep giving our time and attention to tends to become stronger.

Discuss:

  • What are you watering?
  • Examples: I will go to sleep earlier. I will spend time outside after school. I will write down one thing I am grateful for each day.

Start the month with self-reflection and fresh beginnings.

Spring reminds us that growth often starts small. Before something blooms, it begins as a tiny seed.

Discuss:

  • What does personal growth mean?
  • What is something you would like to become better at?
  • What quality would you like to grow in yourself?
  • What is already going well that you want to keep nurturing?
