Mindful Monday Moment:
In honor of Valentine's Day falling on a Mindful Monday, we take a look at adding a mindful reminder to "bedtime" routines. This works with children & with adults as well.
By simply adding "the 3 things" to the bedtime list, you ensure mindful contact on three levels that will help smaller ones go to sleep and older ones remember to always reach out. Hug/Kiss/Secret is simple and gives closure to the day.
- The Hug is an all-encompassing physical connection with your small/big person. This contact is so so important- especially in these years of social distancing.
- The Kiss is an intimate face-to-face moment of connection with your small/big person.
- The Secret is a mental connection to your small/big person that engages your brain and could be as simple as, "I love you" or as important as, "tell the Tooth Fairy I put the tooth on the windowsill so that they don't wake me up!"
As part of our District goals, we will continue to share mindful reminders from our SEL Toolbox. #BeingMindful #PalmyraStrong #MindfulMondaylove #MindfulHabits #HugKissSecret
