There were some great Walt Disney films to watch when growing up and going to the cinema and having that collective experience of watching an event together really was magical. Hearing someone laugh making you realize that the image on the film was funny and trying to hold back tears when things did not seem to be going so well.

I have picked out 3 trailers for 3 films that inspired me as a child. If you have children of your own perhaps these originals will inspire them to. Your children will not judge a cartoon by it’s age.

Now sit back and relax.

Thank you

Finally my personal favorite

Oh are you still here well if you have not seen these films I suggest you check out the originals!

Speaking of originals this song popped into my head this evening I find the words very meaningful. The concept that you can not own the land the land owns you. Great idea isn’t it.

According to https://missionbe.org/faq/ it can be described as the practice of paying attention in the present moment, and doing it intentionally and with non-judgment.  Mindfulness meditation practices refer to the deliberate acts of regulating attention through the observation of thoughts, emotions and body states. Typical mindfulness activities include:

• Mindful non-judgmental awareness of breath, body, feelings, emotions and/or thoughts (in sitting meditation practice or throughout the day)
• Mindful walking meditation
• Mindful eating
• Mindful body scan in a sitting or lying down position
• Listening with non-judgment

What can mindfulness do for students?

• Reduced Stress: Improved ability to manage stress
• Increased Focus: Improved ability to pay attention, focus and concentrate
• Improved Emotion Regulation: Reduced impulsiveness, improved child behavior (rowdiness, suspensions, expulsions)
• Increased Emotional Intelligence: Improved conflict resolution skills
• Increased Empathy and Respect: Increased empathy and understanding of others
• Increased Resilience: Increased capacity to overcome challenges
• Improved Physical Well-being: Increased engagement in physical activity
• Improved Creativity & Collaboration: Improved expression of creative arts.

Students will find it much easier to focus and actively engage in the classroom. The class will benefit as a whole from a collective calm. These skills can also be applied to maturely navigate challenging peer or family interactions. Students will be less likely to bully others, and those students who are bullied will be more resilient. Students are also less likely to engage in high-risk behaviors as they will be calmer and less reactive. Some immediate benefits we expect to see are:

What can mindfulness do for teachers?

• Reduced stress and burnout (and reduced absenteeism from stress and burnout related conditions)
• More easily managed classrooms
• Improved learning conditions
• Positive dyadic teacher-student relationships

Teachers will be able to spend more time teaching and less time managing the classroom and also be better equipped to handle the stresses of work. Teachers teaching students that are practicing mindfulness will also find students to be better mentally equipped to learn.

Is mindfulness religious?

No. Mindfulness is a practice  – the practice of paying attention in the present moment and doing it with non-judgment. Over the last 30 years this practice has been thoroughly researched and successfully implemented in hospitals, businesses, education and the military.

When you drive you don’t know what will happen next so you make use of all senses that are at your at your disposal, be mindful of how you travel.

Even though I have a driving licence I prefer to travel to most places by public transport or walk that way I can look at my surroundings and see what is happening.

amen to that. said to show that you agree strongly with something that someone has just said: “Thank goodness we didn’t go.” “Amen to that!”
