MINDFUL activity packs
“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. Find mindful activities including creative ideas, affirmations, breathing exercises and yoga poses.
“You Are Not Alone”
We are not alone. We are here together. Remind yourself of this when you struggle. Now find your inner peace and calm which is always here for you. All you need to do is reconnect to it. Take a deep breath in, and a calming breath out. Now tell yourself, “I am here. Everything I need is within me. I am not alone.”
“Here and Grounded”
Everything is connected - We are to one another and also towards the earth, so let’s use this time to reconnect to ourselves, to each other, and to nature.
May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved.
