Mindful Mondays at MJ
Mindful Monday Videos
------
Every Monday, since May 2020, I've been sharing a new mindfulness video with students, created for them to enjoy and at the same time, learn about this powerful mental wellness tool.
Practicing mindfulness is a great way to stay calm and healthy. It's how we can take care of our brains, bodies and hearts!

Stop, Cool Down!
In this video, join Mrs. Scaglia and MJ Peer Mediators to practice the mindfulness tool of noticing when you're feeling angry, anxious, or stressed, and then taking a moment to stop and cool those emotions down.
To cool down you can:
Take deep breaths
Count to 10
Walk away from the situation--take a break!
