On Wednseday 4th of September we had our first workshops. Our first workshop was Positive Parties. At 9.05. we headed down to room 21 and there was a big sign on the door saying 'The Party's Here' and there were hula hula necklaces on the chairs with sweets. When Positive Denise arrived she gave us all name tags to wear to show how we felt and our names, i was 'Crazy Sarah Lou'. There was such a good vibe in the room. The first activity we did involed underwear...now at first we were kinda like what is she going to want us todo. We then got into pairs and had to put the underwear(which were never worn phewww!) on in as many different ways as we could. Aoife and I won, we got a chocolate bar yaaaay! Then we learned how to anchor postive moments and My friends and I volunteered to 'help' out and we ended up wearing colourful wigs and singing Mama Mia. Then we learned tricks on how to block out other peoples negative energy. In the end of the workshop, i was feeling great and having a blast! We then said goodbye and that we would see her in a few weeks.

Then our next workshop was 'Living Life Without Limits' and a guy named Austin was talking to us. The moment he entered he had a massive smile on his face and he was so welcoming and friendly. I knew it would be another amazing workshop. We worked on presenting ourselves, having confidence and facing our fears. We learnt how words aren't the most important asset in confidence and first impressions, actions and tones are. We played games that played with our minds and showed us how our eyes can trick us into seeing things that aren't real. It was another great workshop and I'm glad I got the experience to try it.
The final workshop was about energy and releasing stress. She started off by showing us how to control the energy and ground it. Then we connected with our friends and one received and the other was the giver and gave the energy. We also learned how to massage properly and we learned different strokes. We learned a stress release technique.
By the end of the day I was positive, confident and relaxed. It was a great day.
