Weekly Wellbeing: Scavenger Hunt!

This week's wellbeing activity is all about noticing and getting into life! 🙂 We have a challenge for you! 

 

You can either do this as you go about your day or you could even incorporate it into a walk!

(It's about whatever you feel comfortable and able to do)

 

So the challenge is you must find 5 objects and take a photo (as long as it stays within the guidelines) or describe them to us (if you feel comfy to do so! You can always play along without sharing what you find!). If you do go on a walk and take photos of things, please be safe about it! Make sure you look where you're going!

 

So as you go about your day, try and find one of each

  • Something old
  • Something new
  • Something borrowed
  • Something blue
  • AND something that made you smile or laugh

You don't have to do this all in one day, perhaps you'd like to do one for 5 consecutive days? 

 

Happy scavenging!

Reviving this thread tonight! Here are mine:

 

Something old: The toy giraffe I bought for my partner on our 1st anniversary. We've been together for 4 years now, so he's getting old! His name is Twiga, which is Swahili for giraffe.

Something new: My new fish tank! One of my fish, Lizzo, was getting too big for her old tank, so I got this big one so that she can keep on growing and I don't have to rehome her. It's 132L, which took forever to fill up using a 10L bucket...

Something borrowed: My sister's guitar. My sister bought this during lockdown and has never learned a single chord, so my partner and I borrow it all the time to learn songs. I'm not very good at it, but my partner is fantastic for someone who is self-taught. She plays Landslide by Fleetwood Mac which I love 😍

Something blue: My RO jumper!

Something that made me smile: I didn't take a picture of this one, because it would have been kind of weird, but on my walk home from the chemist I saw a boy holding his little dog up to the window so that he could stick his head out and see what was happening outside.

This is such a lovely idea @Lost_Space_Explorer5 - my daily walks have been saving my sanity in lockdown! I love how i am noticing things I’ve never noticed before, and it brings me a sense of calm in a very weird time. 

Here’s mine!

 

something old (taken last week when the sun was still shining!)
