Forest School Inspired Activities | Lolly Locket

Some of my best memories as a child are outside. I had the privilege of growing up with a garden, near to parks, woods, and fields that stretch for miles around the whole town. I remember making mud pies, running through sprinklers, sneakily pulling petals off my mother’s roses to mix together to make ‘perfume’. Walking through the woods and hiding in bird spotting sheds, sliding each other over the ice when the lake froze on dark days.

The benefits of being outdoors for children are endless and there’s something special about seeing children come alive once you let them loose in an open, natural space.

Every year, roughly 60,000 trees are cut worldwide to produce about 15 billion wooden pencils.

Sprout Is a line of eco-friendly pencils that have water-activated seed capsules instead of an eraser. Once you’re done using it, you can just stick it in a flower pot, water, and watch it grow. They do come in different herbs and veggies, such as basil, tomatoes, and rosemary.

6 Ways I Relax and De-Stress | Lolly Locket

Living with an Anxiety Disorder means relaxing is…difficult. My mental state tends to move towards stress and negatives a lot faster than I make progress in the other direction and so it’s not just a case of kicking back and chilling out with me. I wish I could. But instead, it takes a bit of extra effort on my part. Here are the 6 main ways I try to relax and de-stress.

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best,and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

How to Cope with Blah Days

1. Recognise that it’s a feeling – and our moods go up and down. Shrug your shoulders, grit your teeth and choose to make it through the day. Nothing’s really wrong – and there is nothing wrong with you. It’s just the way you’re feeling – and our feelings usually change.

2. Don’t be hard and condemn yourself. Don’t beat yourself up for feeling miserable and blah, or for feeling apathetic and low on energy. Be patient, understanding and gentle with yourself. You’re no worse than others as we ALL have blah days

3. Do something rather that nothing. Do a few mindless tasks so you don’t just waste the day – and you’re likely to feel better once those you’ve got those out the way as they’re usually the things that you never want to do!

4. Only do as much as you have to. It’s going to take all your strength just to make it through the day. Preserve your energy – and allow some things to slide. You can always get round to them another day.

5. Be extra nice to yourself. One of the best ways to fight a bleary day is to be nice to yourself and to do the kinds of things that help to lift your mood and to brighten up your day. For example, go out for a coffee, or have a bubble bath, turn up your favourite music or call a bunch of friends. Do all the kinds of things you know will help to boost your mood.

6. Remind yourself that it’s likely to pass. A bad day is just a day. It’s not the whole of your life. It just means that right now you want to crawl back into bed. It doesn’t mean your goals are wrong or that you won’t succeed in life! You’re just having a bad day – and it’s likely to pass.
