"We are all born happy. Life gets us dirty along the way, but we can clean it up."
Isabel Allende 

 

Have you done any Spring cleaning yet? We had some carpets cleaned this week, and we're about to repaint our hall and bedroom. The longer days and a bit more sunshine might have motivated you to fling open the windows, let in some fresh air and blow away the cobwebs. Psychologists tell us that Spring cleaning can be good for our mental health. Click here to find out why.

Writing prompts:

• Write for a few minutes about how life has 'got you dirty along the way.' Have you been able to 'clean it up', as Isabel Allende suggests?
• Do you enjoy cleaning? Write about the effect is has on you - physically and mentally, good or bad.
• Describe your feelings now that Spring is arriving and the days are getting longer. Are you motivated to try something new?
