Find peace and calm, and get lost in relaxing music
Redfin Mindfulness Nook Playlist: A calming playlist to help with relaxation and focus.
For yourself and your little ones, resting in your space with eye pillows or cucumbers on your eyes is a wonderful way to relax, especially with relaxing music in the background, like this special “Redfin Mindfulness Nook Playlist” on Spotify. Play at any time to bring calm into your space. For children, setting up a tent is a great place for them to escape and unwind. You can also create a special “Mindfulness Creative Corner” for activities such as a “Rest Your Mind Jar” to help calm a busy, buzzy brain. Books and mindful cards for children and families are helpful, such as “Yoga Pretzels,” and “Mindful Reminders” to help them build resilience. Nourish your senses, body, and mind by creating a cosy, nurturing, mindful nook in your home. Decorate your space with your favourite cushions, pillows, blankets, an eco-friendly yoga mat, and props like a singing bowl, plants, and succulents. Add aromatherapy to your space with scents like peppermint and lavender in oil diffusers, essential oils, and candles.
Even the little ones love to relax with Eye Pillows and Cucumbers

“Build Connections And Make The World Go Round”
We are social beings. We thrive by building communities and societies, by helping each other and working together. When we feel disconnected… Maybe even low, stagnant or anxious… Receiving support, and giving it, can help! Don’t forget to share your feelings. Be open to receiving and giving love… And build those connections that make the world go round.
Say the mantra: “I show love to those who support me. I am loved. I am connected to all life on earth.”
“Gentle Breezes and Bluebirds”
The spiritual meaning of bluebirds includes love, peace, trust, dedication and positive change. We thought this would make for a relevant theme right now, and the idea of being gentle on yourself too. Try the mantra: "I am peaceful. I find softness in my heart. May I be gentle on myself."
We hope you enjoy this activity pack with ideas to bring peace and calm into your day.
“Calm As A Cloud”
Call upon these calming methods for those times where stress is increasing and you need to take a moment to recenter. This is not only for the benefit of yourself and the little ones around you, but also to positively model these coping mechanisms.
