How to hand wash mindfully

Good hand washing is the first line of defense to help prevent the spread of many illnesses, and this time of year it's especially important to encourage this practice. You can turn even this routine task into a mindfulness activity. By asking questions and providing guidance, you can spark curiosity, practice focus and concentration, and exercise all of the senses.

Touch
How does the water feel? Is it too hot, too cold, or just right? Does it feel good running over your hands? How do the bubbles feel when you rub your hands together? Encourage kids to lather their hands, including in between their fingers, the backs of the hands, wrists, and under the nails where germs like to hide out, for at least 20 seconds.

Sound
Listen to the flow of the water, the splashing as it hits the basin, the sound of rubbing your hands together, of the soap lathering up. If you listen really closely, can you hear the bubbles pop?

Smell
How does the soap smell? If there is a scent, do you find it pleasing? Does it spark a memory of something else for you (e.g. eating oranges in the summertime with your family)?

Sight
Look at your hands before you wash them. Are they visibly dirty or have paint, marker, or pen on them? Explain that even if you can't see anything with your eyes, there are microscopic germs that can spread illness and we want to wash them away! Look at your hands after you wash them. Do they look cleaner? Are they soft and a little pruney from the water?

Taste
After hands have been thoroughly cleaned, invite kids to take a drink of water from a clean cup to "wash" their insides. How does the water taste? How does it feel as it moves to the back of the mouth, into the throat, down the esophagus, and into the belly?

Why kids can ... should... practice yoga from home!

Practicing yoga at home has some amazing advantages, even for kids!

Children can decide when to practice, what poses and exercise they should do. There's no competition with others, so kids focus just on themselves. It is JUST about them, so it's a wonderful self-awareness exercice.

How to encourage kids to practice from home? Set a special, quiet place for them in your house. Place a beautiful mat to inspire them... and why not a kids mat, especially cut for them!  And order the pack of 50 cards, to give them plenty of ideas :-)

Cultivate joy everyday

 

• Shift Your Frame of Reference: I’ve made a case for finding joy in the nooks and crannies of our lives because too often, we reserve jubilation for milestones—a wedding day, the birth of a child or a hard-won promotion, etc. When we think of joy as belonging only to big events, we sideline the many small pleasures strewn along the way. Finding joy in our  joy routines makes it far more accessible and creates a positive feedback loop. The more we attend to joy in the ordinary moments of our lives, the more we experience it, and the more joyous we become. 

 

• Slow Down: It can take the brain a few seconds to register that something good is coming your way. Slowing down lets your heart, mind, and body to acknowledge pleasure is present. Savoring the flavor of juicy peach allows you to enjoy it more as does pausing to feel your bare feet in the grass or lingering over the lines of a beautifully written poem. 

 

• Non-Problematic Joy: Sometimes, finding joy is as simple as noticing what’s not wrong. In the wild swings between pleasant and unpleasant, we often neglect the contentment of the neutral middle. Most mornings, for example, my teeth feel fine, the sun rises with confidence, and birdsong fills the air. While these experiences might not thrill us, paying attention to them encourages an appreciation and gratitude for all that’s still right in the world. As Chade-Meng Tan writes in Joy on Demand: The Art of Discovering the Happiness Within, “Knowing you are not entirely at the mercy of agitation can bring some joy.”
