A basic definition of mindfulness is being consciously aware of your thoughts and emotions. Being mindful has many important benefits. The Mood Meter, meditation, PACE, yoga and breathing exercises are some examples of mindfulness in our classroom. We loved having Coach O’Rourke in our classroom yesterday to help support our mindful journey. Reflect on the ways that we are mindful. What way(s) do you enjoy?
How does it help you?
I enjoy the breathing exercises. They help me if I feel stressed and frustrated, they help me calm down.
PACE is my favorite. It is my favorite because it helps me calm down the most when I need to.
I hope that we get to do yoga again because it helps me focus better in class.
The way I like to be mindful is by PACE. When I do not feel like I can do something, or I am struggling,I like to rub my brain buttons, and then I feel relaxed.
I like meditated because it helps me stay calm and and gives me time to think.
I like doing breathing exercises. they make me feel calm and relaxed.
I like when we PACE our self because it makes me ready for the next thing we do.
I agree with you. PACE always helps me when we are transitioning from one thing to the next.
I felt calm in yoga it helps everyone when we get anger
After doing this activity it made me more focused and also it made me more peaceful. PACE is a very good activity and it helps alot when you are stressed and you want to calm down. The breathing exercises really help.
I enjoyed the whole thing especially the water cup challenge.
if a get mad at a video game I pause the game and I breath for a while
Thanks for all the feedback. If you feel like it’s a good time for us to PACE ourselves and we haven’t yet during the school day or you feel like we need to do it again, don’t be afraid to let us know. We love when our students start to initiate these strategies on their own!
I like doing breathing exercises it comes me down when I’m stressed and they make me relaxed.
the part i liked about yoga class is with the cup
I LOVE PACE.I think it is an AWESOME way to calm yourself down.
Stay relaxed and calm
