We all feel lonely from time to time, but if we can make peace with the loneliness, we can actually use this time to tap into our creativity and maybe even discover something new about ourselves. Turning loneliness into a time to create or rest is a great gift we can give ourselves. Time with friends and people we love will come again, but for now, it is ok to be by one's self.

Mindfulness is an important theme in 'The Paper Girls Show'. Together with "Making" and "Mistakes", they create the "3 M's of The Paper Girls Show", which serve as the series' pillars. "Make things Mindfully – don't sweat your Mistakes", as our mantra goes!
 
The goal of this series is to help guide children through mindful breathing techniques, visualizations, and positive affirmations to use throughout the day when needed.

Our practices contain:
🧘‍♀️ Mindful breathing exercises for kids
😊 Positive affirmations for kids
🧠 Visualizations for kids

At times we find that we are lonely. It can be a difficult emotion for sometimes we want to be with people we love, or maybe just need a friend.

 We want to share our thoughts and experiences with others, but sometimes we are just meant to be by ourselves.

 That heavy feeling of being lonely won't last forever though. If we can make peace with the loneliness and know this is just timeto be with ourselves, we can accept the quiet for today and know that new friendships are ahead.

 Let us take a few moments to sit within our own heart and find peace in the quiet our heart provides.

 Let us begin by becoming comfortable in a chair or on the floor. 

Close your eyes or rest your gaze on the floor below or sky above. 

Take a long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth.

Again, take another long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth.

 Now just feel your breath as it enters your body, as you breathe normal. 

Feel your body breath for you naturally.

Don't force your breath; just feel your breath enter your body, and exit your body. 

Feel your body breathing.

Notice how your body is breathing. Are you breathing in and out of your nose? 

In and out of your mouth? 

Or a combination of the two? 

Just feel your breath for a few moments.

Let us silently say in our mind, “I am OK being by myself today”

“I am OK being by myself today.”

Now, with each inhale or exhale of our breath, silently and slowly say “It is ok to be by myself today.”

“It is ok to be by myself today.”

Repeat these words as you breathe. “It is ok to be by myself today.”

It is ok to be by myself today.

It is ok to be by myself today.

Take a long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and exhale out of your mouth.

It is ok to be by yourself today. All is well.
