My positivity board - NVC Project 2021 by anica https://padlet.com/anical/positivity Welcome to my term project for Non-Violent Communication! If you don't know me, hello! I'm Anica (she/her) and I'm a student at Ontario Tech University. I created this virtual space as a way for me to document the positive changes I will be making for the next six weeks. I encourage and welcome you to contribute to my board of positivity as well! Feel free to make a quick post about small things you have done that have made you happy. This way, we can all inspire each other to try to do one small thing a day that contributes to our positivity :) Just double click anywhere to start making a post! en-us 2021-01-29 19:18:23 UTC 2026-03-16 12:41:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Feb 15 - the first day! ✨ AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1213714121 here it is - my first post about creating more positivity in my life! I figure that Family Day is a fitting day to kick off this project.
so I decided to do some baking today (which I love to do) and tried to replicate a cookie (recipe here) that my mom had bought during her lunch break at work last week. fortunately, they turned out pretty good (not an exact match to the cookies my mom had but pretty close)! it was fun trying out a new recipe and having some time away from phones and tv screens. ]]> 2021-02-18 04:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1213714121 Feb. 25 - cleaned my room AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1244063164 today I had my last class for the week so I decided to take the rest of the day for myself. I cleaned up my room (I can actually see the floor now lol) and organized my study space. this is definitely gonna help me be more productive tomorrow now that I don't have this at the back of my mind. ]]> 2021-02-26 04:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1244063164 Feb. 17 - recharged AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1246947480 would I really be a fourth year university student on reading week if I didn't sleep in?

This is something that I have done that has made me happy because I am able to see the world safely from home during the pandemic and look forward to the travelling that I can do post-pandemic!

1) go on a socially distanced walk with a friend
2) buy myself my favourite snack to have during class 
3) give myself a manicure 

the next few weeks are going to be busy for me so hopefully I can complete at least two of these!]]> 2021-03-08 05:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1280353728 AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1280412060 2021-03-08 05:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1280412060 AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1295191411 2021-03-10 21:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1295191411 AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301250958 2021-03-12 03:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301250958 AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301250963 2021-03-12 03:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301250963 AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301250989 2021-03-12 03:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301250989 March 11 - some of my favourite texts that I received this week AnicaL https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301253905 2021-03-12 03:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1301253905 memories marisanarotam https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303343845 one of my favourite things recently has been looking through my photos and videos to remember all the amazing and fun memories I have had with my closest friends. sometimes when I look at a photo for long enough, I can recall exactly how I was feeling in that moment. this one is from last valentine's day -- truly one of the best v-day's I've ever had! you'll know you found your forever friends when you feel like your most authentic self around them.]]> 2021-03-12 16:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303343845 marisanarotam https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303390900 :)]]> 2021-03-12 17:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303390900 oatmeal. marisanarotam https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303400997 that's it. that's the post.]]> 2021-03-12 17:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303400997 marisanarotam https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303443725 2021-03-12 17:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303443725 Spring Cleaning https://padlet.com/anical/positivity/wish/1303949890 I was able to clean out all of the old clothes and miscellaneous items in my room.
