Starting up

"Littles matter. Littles create, mediums which create bigger change". M.Gladwell, Tipping Point and Dr L Gardiner, Potent6.

Start small. 

Here are some starting points:

• Is your Senior Management Team engaged and supportive of the idea of introducing Mindfulness to your school?

• Is there someone in your staff team that is interested in wellbeing? Invite them to be a Mindfulness Ambassador for the school. Maybe they can own this project in your school.

• Could they bring together a small group of children to be the Mindfulness Ambassadors across the school?

• Look at some of the information and practices in this tool kit to understand more about mindfulness and its benefits.

• Start with the practice of belly breathing. If this is all you do for a year then I’m believing that would make a difference to some children.
