Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing ok. As you know some children in certain year groups are starting to come back to school. It is lovely to welcome everyone back but it just makes me miss all the children who are not back even more!
With lots of changes starting to happen around us, we can start to feel anxious. This week I want you to try some mindfulness to help you gain a little control of your inner self when everything around you seems uncertain.
I want you all to try being frogs! Frogs have the amazing ability to take enormous leaps but also to sit very still. They are constantly aware of what is around them, but they tend not to react straight away. The frog sits very still and breathes, preserving it’s energy. A frog’s tummy rises and falls as it breathes, everything is very controlled.
Take some time this week to be like a frog. Try sitting very still and very quiet. Breathe in and out slowly, feel your tummy rise and fall as you breathe. Let everyone around you know you are ‘doing the frog’ so they can help you stay nice and quiet and still.
Take care, remember to keep being kind to yourself and everyone around you.
Love Miss Ascough x
