ee ay Ww Mindfulness Workbook for Kids Name: WHAT IS MINDFULNESS? Mindfulness means you are focused on what you are doing in the present moment. When you eat, focus on eating. When you play, focus on playing. When you work, focus on working! Be PRESENT. Be HERE NOW. Sit up tall, wherever you are. Close you eyes if you feel comfortable. Just notice how your body is sitting. Notice your seat on the floor or the chair. Notice the way your legs are placed. Pay attention to the length of your spine, reaching up toward the ceiling or the sky above. Notice how your hands are resting, still, on your lap or next to you. Notice the air coming in your body, and notice as it leaves again. Just sit, and be aware of how you are sitting for several deep breaths. WHEN YOU LOSE FOCUS, DON'T BE UPSET, JUST TRY AGAIN WITH ANOTHER BREATH WHAT IS GRATITUDE? Gratitude means having a feeling of thankfulness for people, things, and events in your life. Noticing and being mindful of all the things you are grateful for can help you feel happier every day. Be GRATEFUL. Notice and THANK others. Make a heart with your hands and hold in front of your own beating heart. Take a breath in to fill it with love. Let your breath out to send the love to others you are thankful for.

Begin to notice your breath. Inhale slowly through your nose. Exhale gently out your mouth. Then, seal your lips and breathe comfortably. Notice where in your body you feel your breath rise and fall. Send gratitude to your breath for keeping you alive and well. Bring your awareness to your heart. Place one hand on your heart. Notice if you feel it beating quickly or slowly. Send gratitude to your heart for its life giving strength. Now, with your heart full, bring your focus to a person or animal that you care about. Think about them in your mind. Notice how you feel when you hold them in your mind and heart. With your gratitude towards them, send a silent thought of thanks across your mind. Use your breath to continue to fill your whole body with that same feeling of gratefulness. REST IN SAVASANA FOR 10 MORE SLOW BREATHS
