Evidence of Victory
We have found it’s easy to focus on things that aren’t going well in our lives. That can be helpful when it supports us to find solutions but sometimes we just end up feeling down and unmotivated. At times like that it is really important to hold onto anything that has gone well in the past so we believe they can go well again for us in the future.
What has made you smile today? Have you found a solution to a problem or faced a scary situation? Have you made something today: a drawing or poem or did you bake a cake? Did you achieve something important to you? What are you proud of yourself for at the moment?
Young people in Download created Evidence of Victory (EOV) to keep track of the things that make us smile. Take a card (decorate it if you like) and write down your Evidence of Victory. Keep the cards safe and the next time you have a challenging time, get out your cards and look at what you have achieved.
