Today was the first day back from break! The weather has finally gotten warmer which is perfect for the rest of our project! We enjoyed some time outside in the sun as we colored some detailed coloring books. The repetitive motion and rhythm of coloring in the detailed patterns was calming and satisfying. It was so nice to finally be able to be outside!

For these two days to end off our successful creativity through mindfulness week, we debriefed all the activities we tried and wrote down our thoughts so we can remember what we want to highlight on our podcast. We also did research on these activities so we can explain in depth why these activities can help calm the body. We wanted to post a podcast a week, however we quickly realized that this would not be possible. We need to all three sit down at the end of the project and have a ongoing conversation. We want the podcasts to be useful for our community so we want to gather as much detail as we can before we start talking about each topic. We can't wait to finally get these podcasts up and running for everyone to see! In the mean time we will continue to research and test out activities!
