Star task-what does it feel like? Try this activity yourself. Share with the group the impact this had on your stress levels, you muscles, your attention, and your self esteem.
I had a similar reaction to the lady in the video. I was rather ashamed of my effort-it was rubbish! Part of me wanted to give up, another part of me wanted to start again. I think I felt I could get better if I had the motivation and energy to keep trying, or if someone encouraged me to have another go.
