Learn to love yourself not just others
On Wednesday 12th March we had the Affirmations workshop. The Affirmations Jar Workshop was a creative and empowering experience designed to foster connection and support within the group. Everyone was invited to decorate their own personal jars, infusing them with colour, symbols, and words that resonated with their unique journeys. We used stickers, acrylic pens and other materials to decorate them however we wanted. Once their jars were complete, each person wrote heartfelt affirmations for others in the group—positive, uplifting statements meant to inspire strength, confidence, and hope. These affirmations were then placed inside the jars, creating a tangible reminder of the group’s collective support and encouragement. The workshop provided a safe space for individuals to not only express kindness and care for one another but also to engage in an act of self-compassion, helping to promote mental health and recovery in a creative and communal way. Everyone took home their jars with the suggestion to take out one affirmation each morning to start off their day in a positive way.
