It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree itstrives ever upwards when it is most burdened.

'The Tree of Life'.

So we did this activity at my art therapy class and I just thought I had to share. It was so worthwhile to do, I'd love to start a permanent one at home, but maybe with leaves instead of hearts and doves.

You see, you make the tree, and decorate with hearts filled with positive things in your life/on your mind, and fill the doves with the negative (so they can fly away and take them with them).

It really separated you from your feelings, which was such a relief! You don't realise how much you let them overcome you, and be a part of who you are, no matter how small. It felt so good just to take a step back to see everything in hindsight.
