Diary

Week One

We were given a sheet of paper and, on one side, was a description of someone who has debt problems, taken drugs, claimed benefits, etc., and on the other side was someone who ran their own business, speaks four languages and has been on TV and radio. We discussd what we thought of each of these people would be like and came out with completely different things for these people. We thought one was rich and clever and the other a benefit claimer with no enthusiasm for life. It turned out that they were infact the same person.

Week Two

We were asked to bring in a picture of ourselves in which we did not like the way we looked, and also a picture that we liked. We passed the photos around and discussed what we all thought of them. Some of the group said they liked the picture that we didn’t like. We learned that everyone views everyone differently. We then discussed our body shapes such as apple, pear, hour glass, etc. Debbie then explained what type of clothes suit the body shape. We also spoke about what colours suit our skin tone.

Week Three

We were taught all about what different oils can help with different things such as sleeping, anxiety, period pains, etc. We were also taught how to massage hands and arms. By the end of the session we were all completely relaxed.

Week Four

Today was a really fun day. We all had a laugh and learned some Salsa moves.

Week Five

Duncan - an ex Welsh coach of Judo - came in to teach us self defence. It was done in a fun way, where we all paired up and tried the moves on each other.
