Turning down our stress dial workshop 🌟

Imagine your belly button as a dial you can actually turn down when stressed out. After a guided mindfulness meditation, they created beautiful stress management artwork! We brought it to life by creating our own stress dials, mapped with both triggers and coping skills.

Our belly button transformed to an emotional “dial” to consciously turn down when feeling overwhelmed.

🎯 Personal stress dial on paper plates 📍 Identified current triggers (tests, friend drama, family stress) ⬇️ Mapped their go-to calming strategies along arrows

Quick Stress Tips from Today:
* Your body gives you early warning signals - listen to them!
* Deep breathing for 2 minutes can reset your nervous system
* Having a visual reminder helps kids remember they’re in control
* Stress isn’t the enemy - it’s information from your body

Stress is just information from your body. You have more control than you think. And it’s okay to need tools - we all do.
Building these inner resources early changes everything. These kids are going to be okay. 💙

This class focused on different ways of thinking. Each cap represents a variety of angles and perspectives that can shape our ideas 💡. We looked at basketball as an example. There are rules, that is planning. There is a court. That is a fact. But when we add a bit of creativity, it becomes a basketball game. Our feelings a I it winning and loosing though it shapes our attitude at times, we can acknowledge feelings with reacting on them. And in basketball, reacting can sometimes cause us to make decisions that we are not happy with. We can go into a game believing we are capable of winning, but only when we practice which is part of planning can we develop the skills necessary to play according to the rules. And when you are taking a shot because someone fouled you, best believe, pausing, breathing and focusing mindfully can help you tune out all the noise.

All these hats work together. When we are intentional, our minds can think 💭 amazing things, come up with great solutions, and see beyond anything that we could ever imagine.

Taking responsibility for our thought types -once we are aware that different types of thinking patterns exist, can feel empowering.

🎯 Mindfulness bean bag toss!

This week my students learned about neural pathways through hands-on play.

Each throw was an opportunity to practice intention-setting, focus, emotional regulation, doing their best, and having the best attitude possible.

The pipe cleaner “neural pathways” they built become the DNA that combines our attitude, effort, and success.

Tangible proof that every mindful choice is not just about actions but also our attitude, emotions, how we handle loss/success, and whether we’re putting our best effort forward!

When we are open and curious rather than fearful about making mistakes, we become open to trying new things and mastering new skills through practice.

Each throw builds the pathways we use to live each day, and at any time we can be intentional with our efforts 🧠💫

More thought bubbles 🫧!! When we are intentional with our thinking go habits we can choose to entertain positive thoughts. This is called redirection. It does not discredit other emotions or thoughts what are not so pleasant, but allows us to choose to support a mindset that leans towards the things that uplift our lives and mood.

This means with practice, the priming of pleasing being held in our mind over an extended period of time, supports decision making about other parts of our life with more clarity, confidence and other healthy benefits that a calm nervous system offers when we are happier.

We focus on happy thoughts while making art. This helps us retain the mindful part so that when a whole bunch of thoughts rise like bubbles 🫧 we can focus on that with gives us good feelings more than on the others. This also helps with stillness and sustained focus.

Mindful Bubble Workshop:💡Watch the bubbles of all sizes float, dissolve, pop, and gently touch the ground.

This exercise is about watch our thoughts, observing them just like we observe bubbles.

Notice thoughts appearing or all different sizes. Don’t judge or engage—just watch like scientist observing experiment.

Notice: Do thoughts flow (beginning, middle, end)? Or get stuck (loop/repeat)?

Recognize the Patterns in your thinking

Ask: Is this thought TRUE? Or just HABIT (pattern)? Remember: Patterns are not truth, just familiar.

Emotional Defusion: this just means we don’t follow the emotional journey a thought urges us to follow.

Just like all the bubbles eventually clear out, so do our thoughts if we do not engage with them. And when you see that the space is clear-no bubbles, you are left with your present self. Your body, mind, and notice you are still thinking but instead of following your thoughts (past, future, liking, disliking) you are just in the moment.

After the bubbles, we created our own thought bubbles, choosing where we want to place our attention. The biggest bubble is what makes us feel good, happy, builds confidence and self-esteem. The other bubbles exist-we acknowledge our other emotions and thoughts that do not feel so good. That is because, it’s honest just not dominating our mood or life experiences.

Today we are thankful to be apart of The BETA Career Day Fair.

Our discussions with students were two fold-the importance of health and wellness daily as well as sharing how an entrepreneurial mindset can take students to new level.

Even if they choose to work for an employer, having an entrepreneurial attitude can foster genius and creativity that will put them directly ahead of their peers competitively.

Business practices combined with desire and passion already seeded in your heart ❤️ can make for a good life. One beyond money but still with the means to live and thrive.

We structure contract packages to meet the needs of each unique client. Class price points are economical and accessible. Sliding scale options are available.

We will assist with constructing curriculum or programming customized for your organization or we can fit into programming already implemented on-site.

We will continue to offer Creative Mindz Yoga M.A.P. ©, a process-based curriculum for individuals and current school faculty interested in teaching meditation to adolescents. Our meditation program is designed to teach aspiring educational professionals to lead guided meditation classes in their schools and elsewhere using our easy-to-follow program guidelines. In addition to the business-to-business buying power that benefits the clients we serve, we offer some meditation classes online at no cost.

We have a history providing services to universities, government agencies, hospitals, schools, community centers, churches, businesses, senior centers, and more. Onsite classes boost participation and are the perfect fit for anyone who finds it difficult to commute to a gym.

We are solving access to wellness and fitness classes for everyone. And since we deal business-to-business in scheduling classes while allowing those classes to operate instructor-to-consumer, students don’t pay for any classes held on-site.
