Day 10 – FAITH - Draw something you want to happen to you.

Day 11 – CONTEMPLATION – Sit quietly listening to nothing but your breath for as long as you wish.

Day 12 – GROUNDEDNESS – Look around your bedroom and notice everything.  Then close your eyes and ask a parent or sibling to count thow many things you tell them you can remember. 

Day 13 – CREATIVITY – Do a dance or sing a song after dinner for your family.  Or write a story about peace and share it with someone. 

Day 14 – HUMILITY – Tell someone you trust about a mistake you made and how you might have done it differently.
