Brainstorming is about quantity, not quality, so write down asmany ideas as you can and we’ll share them once the timer is up.

2.

Individually, write down as many ideas as you can in 2 minutes for this question: what are all the ways you might treat yourself that costs money?

3.

Everyone count the number of ideas you wrote and share thatnumber with the group. Ask for volunteers to share some of their ideas. If space allows, have everyone put their sticky notes up onthe wall or write the ideas on a whiteboard.

Helpful Hints:

  • As a facilitator, remind the group that there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself. Self-care can come in many forms and it’s important to find ways of investing in yourself that you feel good about, whether that costs money or not.
