MINDFULNESS, MOVEMENT, AND MEDITATION
THIS WEEK, WE CONTINUED OUR EXPLORATION OF THE THIRD PILLAR OF WELL-BEING-SELF-CURIOSITY. LAST WEEK, THE DISCUSSION FOCUSED ON WONDERING ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND US.
THIS WEEK, WE TURNED OUR CURIOSITY INWARDS AS WE EXPLORED OUR EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS AND ANSWERED SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR WHY WE FEEL THE WAY WE DO IN A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS IN OUR LIVES AND TOOK AN EVEN DEEPER DIVE AS WE SHARED OUR OWN PERSONAL EMOTIONS.
DURING OUR GROUP TIME ON THE RUG, TEACHER SARAH PASSED OUT WHITE BOARDS AND DRY ERASE MARKERS TO EVERYONE. NEXT SHE SHARED SOME COMMON SCENARIOS RELEVANT TO THE CHILDREN WHICH INCLUDED, WHEN MOMMIES AND DADDIES NEED TO TRAVEL FOR WORK, WHEN A SPECIAL EVENT GETS CANCELLED, OR EVEN WHEN THEY WORK HARD ON BUILDING AN IMPRESSIVE STRUCTURE WITH LEGOS. THE CHILDREN WERE THEN ASKED TO DRAW THE EMOTION THEY FELT IN THESE SITUATIONS. THEY RANGED FROM ANGRY, SAD, AND PROUD AMONG SEVERAL OTHER FEELINGS.
IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CHILDREN TO SHARE THEIR FEELINGS WITH THE GROUP AND FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT ALL FEELINGS ARE OK AND THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCE THEM.
