If this activity brings up feelings that aren't temporary and cause you discomfort, speak with your GP at your earliest convenience about what mental health support may be available.

To get started please use the two prompts to create a short story
You may want to write around your own experiences with the prompts as a way of practising mindfulness.
Alternatively, you may want to write in complete fiction as a way of practising creativity.
Practice is encouraged as frequently as you see appropriate and you can create new prompts every time
Allow yourself a minimum of 20 minutes to see what you're able to write. Sometimes it takes a little while for the ideas to flow
