PeterPan Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 We can use this to help our kids by helping them realizing the emotions they're dealing with. There are also initiation humps, screen addiction, other things, sure. But it's interesting. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/smarter-living/why-you-procrastinate-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-self-control.html?keplerid=249792977&dclid=CNiiz9PcyOMCFY5RAQod220GYg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbutton Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 This one is getting printed. I just skimmed it, but it looks great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storygirl Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yes, I told DH that I need to print it, too. It not only offers root causes that make sense to me, but also offers suggestions for how to overcome roadblocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) An essential element of mindfulness breathing is self-compassion. For example, while practicing mindfulness breathing, it can be difficult and one can lose focus and shift attention to the weather or whatever. While breathing, it’s important to not internally self-deprecate but rather acknowledge the mental shift occurred with neutral judgement and then return to focusing on the mindfulness breathing. The article did not mention mindfulness breathing; however, the mindfulness breathing can absolutely help with self-compassion over time. https://www.mindful.org/meditation/mindfulness-getting-started/ Edited July 24, 2019 by Heathermomster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Sorta rolling with what Heather is saying (though more simplistic), I was liking the 3 steps in this feelings poster set. Step 3 is huge yourself. :) https://shop.scholastic.com/teachers-ecommerce/teacher/books/our-feelings-bulletin-board-9781338344813.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
