Calm and Strong Poses

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 14:02:59 +0000

These poses have been chosen because of the ease of learning and using them in many situations to help you calm your mind and body. All except one are standing poses so they can easily be used in the classroom, on the play ground, at home, on the beach, whenever you need to calm and centre yourself. These are easy poses to learn, instructions on how to teach them are in the Lesson Plans, or you can find instructions online. There are many more that can be added and used to calm the body.

Compliments Fill our Bucket

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 14:01:48 +0000

We can fill each other’s ‘invisible bucket’ of happiness in many ways, giving a compliment is just one of them. Acts of kindness, smiles, hugs, sharing, listening, helping, playing with one another, laughing, saying hello, using people’s names are a few others. When you are kind to others, your bucket is also being filled, being unkind to others ‘dips’ into and empties both buckets. Read ‘Fill a Bucket’ and ‘Have You Filled a Bucket’ by Carol McCloud.

Cyber Bullying is growing fast, so we need to be aware of it from a young age. Watch out for iPhones and IT as new causes of depression. Be aware of what your children and students are doing on their IT. Encourage them to TELL you about any potential problems.

Self Talk Traffic Lights

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:53:48 +0000

Be mindful of what you are saying to yourself. This poster is a reminder that when we say negative things to ourselves or others, there IS a way to change that thought process. The AMBER/Yellow light has just a few of the questions you can ask yourself to correct your thinking e.g. “Can I think of that another way? ….. Am I going to let that thought control me? …. How can I solve this? … Am I exaggerating?” etc. If we stay in the negative thoughts process, we are holding our happiness, and that of those around us back. Listen to your self talk today and see if you can improve it. It is not until you listen, that you know! Good Luck, you can do it!!

Look up the posts on Self Talk for ideas and strategies to use with this Poster.

Breathe Act Think

Admin — Thu, 24 May 2018 13:52:48 +0000

This is a strategy to calm down and get your feelings back on track. Deep Breathing is always the first thing to calm yourself down, then do or think of something you enjoy, then be a detective and explore a different way to think about the situation. Calming down and doing something you like always changes your mood.

Look up posts on feelings and emotions, body signs, catastrophe scale for more ideas and strategies.
