Shakin' Dem Bones on a Sunday

Thank you for Shakin' Dem Halloween Bones on a sunny Sunday afternoon!🌞

We tuned in with a singing bowl for today's practice!

COMMUNICATION is giving and receiving messages!  It's a like the back and forth movement of a teeter totter.⚖

Tom Thumb is a small character, no bigger than his daddy's thumb.  He makes us think about "Palm Calm" as a tool for calming and relaxing: https://youtu.be/MPHzM2nxvfI

We COLLABORATED, worked well together, in our double warrior pose!

 Let YOUR hair hang down like Rapunzel in an L handstand!

We are WILLING TO TAKE RISKS with balancing half moon yoga posture!

 "Shake, Shake, Shake Dem Halloween Bones!"🎵

 We rested.

When You Are SCARED?!

Make friends with your fears . . . it worked for Bear?! 🕷🕸🐻 "Everyone gets scared sometimes.  Next time you're scared, remember how good it feels to be brave.  If you're not scared first, you never get the chance to be brave."~Shy Spaghetti and Excited Eggs by Marc Nemiroff and Jane Annunziata

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Sidney was a squirrel who did not want the fall season to come.  During fall, squirrels need to collect nuts for winter. Sidney tried to stop the season from coming by putting leaves back on his tree with tacks, string, glue, ribbons, and gum!  But the cold weather came . . . Sidney realized he HAD to collect nuts.  When you avoid or look for a short cut, sometimes you work HARDER than SMARTER!  Remember your "Circle of Control" -- "I'm in charge of what I think, where I look, what I say, how I feel and what I do!" -- and "MY business is ENOUGH business to keep me BUSY!"🍂 #readytogotowork #workSMARTERnotHARDER #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamREADS

Flo is a panda that never gets in a hurry?!  How can you s-l-o-w like Flo?  Take a deep breath as you pause to ponder with the panda!🐼 Go with Flo to GLOW!🌟 #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamREADS

Season to Learn

As the leaves fall, what are you learning?  I learned about "Pre-macking Schedules" this week!  It's the idea of sandwiching the "hard-to-do" task in between two tasks you are more comfortable and confident about accomplishing! It makes a tougher thing to do a little easier when you just had a good thing happen and another good thing will happen next.  Add pre-macking schedules to your toolbox!  It helps you balance and be strong in ALL SEASONS🍁❆⚘🌞

This yoga pose is called balancing half moon. From a standing position, step your right foot back while opening your hip out to the side.  Tilt forward, place your left hand down in front of your left foot while simultaneously lifting your right foot.  Open your hips and extend your right arm up to the sky.  Align your shoulders over each other and open your chest.  This pose strengthens the thighs, ankles, stomach, and bum.  It stretches the chest, shoulders, torso, spine, hamstrings, and calves.🧘

Leaves Let Go and So Should YOU!

As pumpkins GROW and leaves LET GO . . . ponder what you are holding on to that you need LET GO?!  It could REAL STUFF . . .

Mrs. Broam delivered three boxes of STUFF to Mission Lexington today!  But it could be something harder to put in a box and move on . . . a memory or something you believe?  Something not true that you are holding on to, and it no longer serves you well? To GROW, you gotta LET GO!  That's what I'm thinking about on Tuesday.🤔 #letgoandGROW #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamREADS

Ready for BIG FUN on Monday!

Have a WHALE of a day today! #mrsbroamhats #mrsbroamREADS

R.A.I.N. to SHINE on Friday!

R = RECOGNIZE your thoughts and feelings
A = ACCEPT these (ALL feelings are OK--they don't all feel OK, but it is okay to experience unpleasant thoughts and feelings)
I = INVESTIGATE -- Why are you thinking what you are thinking?  Why are feeling the way you feel?
N = You are NOT your thoughts and feelings. These are a part of you.  These are temporary.  These will pass.  R.A.I.N.☔ to SHINE🌞 on Friday! #bestillandquiet @Pleasant Hill Elementary #bestronginyourbodybrainsandheart #mrsbroamhats
