It is important to learn to take in the moment and to just be who we are. Embracing the essence of our true selves and learning to savor each moment is a special skill we can cultivate. By consciously tuning into our breath, the world around us, and our feelings, we embark on a path that leads to a joyful and peaceful mind.

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

Sometimes things can feel like they can be too much to handle, and that’s perfectly normal. 

But guess what? Simply sitting still and taking deep breaths can help us feel so much better. 

Let’s just breathe and be present. 

Let’s just sit and let our breath make us feel calm and happy. 

You do not need to do anything special. You’re already special just being you. 

Let’s just sit and breathe. 

Let’s take a little time to feel calm and present. 

First let’s get comfy and on the floor or  chair. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable 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 normally. 

Feel your body breathing all by itself. 

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

Feel your body breathing. 

Notice how you’re breathing. Are you breathing in and out of your nose? 

Or In and out of your mouth? 

Or maybe both? 

Just feel your breath for a little bit. 

Let us say silently in our mind and in our throat, “I am here and I am calm.” 

“I am here and I am calm.” 

With each inhale or exhale of your breath, repeat the words, “I am here and I am calm.”

“I am here and I am calm.”

“I am here and I am calm.” 

Take a deep breath in through your nose, and slowly let it out of your mouth. 

When you are ready, open your eyes. Remember, you can choose to be calm and present anytime you want. Just use your breath help you guide you and just be.
