Picture
  • Take three, deep, peaceful breaths.
    • Stand up straight, feet apart, arms at your sides.
    • As you take another deep breath, raise your arms and hug yourself. Lower your arms as you exhale. Repeat.
    • Now take a deep breath as you raise your arms high above your head, open your arms to the sun shining on you, stretch your arms up and out, receive the sun’s warm rays. Lower your arms as you exhale. Repeat.
    • Take a deep breath as you raise your hands and frame your face. Smile as big as you can, turn your head to each side so your smile can be seen by the whole universe. Lower your hands as you exhale. Repeat.
    • Take one more deep breath, raise your arms and hug yourself. Lower your arms as you exhale.
  • Sharing:
    • How do you feel when you hug yourself?
    • When you open yourself to the sun?
    • When you smile at the whole universe
  • This week:
    • Remember to love and care for you! Share your smile and warmth with others and the whole universe.
