Kata 19 (Soulshine Selfie)
Kata 19: Soulshine-Selfie
Used in Week 9
What are you personally thankful for in your life? It can be things, people, but also situations or special memories? Do you think about the sunny side of life and beautiful things often enough? We all experience it far too often and we forget the happy moments far too quickly. We tend to only concentrate on our problems.
Exercise (30 minutes)
Create a sketchnote of things you like, love, and simply appreciate in your life. Draw yourself in the center, e.g. in front of a "sun" and arrange your "sources of happiness" around it. Give each of them a caption or a short text. Thereby you will benefit from the "Dual-Encoding Theory" and keep them better anchored in your memory.
