What, Me Worry?
Posted by Faith BarbutoWhat do you do when you are worried about something? They say worrying is useless and while that is probably true it doesn’t stop our minds from doing it. Worries can preoccupy our thoughts, keep us awake at night and keep us from enjoying life. How can we stop that? During a mindfulness activity, kindergarteners practiced letting go of their worries by putting them into bubbles and watching them drift away. Students were asked to voice something that worried them and then blow it into a bubble. The worries varied from personal things like nightmares or cuts to bigger concerns like forest fires and parents working late hours. It was wonderful to see the empathy in the children’s faces as they saw that many of us share the same fears. What a cathartic experience to watch our worries sail away with the breeze!
