As we move into a season of full virtual learning for all of our students let's take a pause together to mindfully accept this current situation.
Mindfulness helps us be still and process our here and now. Right now we are asking that students learn at home. Right here, in your home, your student will learn.
As mindfulness teaches us to accept the present it also helps us create our own calm and peace with the here and now.
Today I wanted to share the ABCs of Mindfulness. I hope that this gives you an overview of mindfulness and some ideas of how to add it to your daily schedule.
Mindful doesn't have to be "one more thing to add to your daily to-do list." Mindfulness can easily become a natural part of your daily life. For example, I like to start my personal day off with a goal and a gratitude. I also love doing this with my students. It is a great way to set your day with purposeful intention and a positive attitude. One Goal. One Gratitude.
I would also like to introduce you to my goal setting. It is a technique I learned over the summer in a class I took. It is called mental contrasting. It helps you see your goal and what could stand in the way and helps you formulate a plan for success. The process itself is called WOOP.
Below are the two pictures I would like to share of the ABCs of Mindfulness and WHOOP goal setting.
I hope this helps you get started on a positive and productive path to this new journey of learning. We are all in this together. Please feel free to email me, or leave comments on the posts. I want to help and support in any way I can.
Thank you for taking the time to check out the new Fortis Mindfulness at Home Blog. I hope you keep coming back to check in for more helpful tips, ideas, and support.
