Be Anchored

In stormy seas, what's your anchor?  How do you feel the ground when the earth moves?  I am anchored by my breath.  Your breath is always with you.  Breathe IN, Breath OUT.  You don't need a lot of space or anything or anyone to do it.  Inhale. Exhale.  When you breathe, you create calm in your body, brains, and heart.  You are anchored.  Breathing is "contagious" . . . when you hear other people breathe, you are likely to take a deep breath too! Take a s-l-o-w, deep breath to anchor. #mrsbroamhats #bestrong

Welcome Back, Pigeon!

 

It's second semester! We welcome students back to the building who attended school virtually during first semester! We thank everyone for wearing masks and washing hands.  We thank you for sharing "air hugs" and keeping good space between you and others.  We are StrONgEr Together, 6 feet apart. #firstdayofschool #mrsbroamhats #pigeonwearsamask #besafe #beresponsible #berespectful

Chapter #2

Here's the link to Chapter #1 yoga fun with Elena Aguilar's Onward: https://youtu.be/cbZu-g226DQ

Chapter #2 of her book explores emotions!  I ran across a new hashtag yesterday: #allfeelingsarevalid😉 I like how that supports what I tell people shorter than me -- "all feelings are okay" -- they don't all feel "okay" to feel, but it's normal to feel both pleasant and unpleasant feelings as you live each day. If you are interested in a yoga practice on this chapter of the book, check out: https://zipadeeyoga.blogspot.com/2021/01/onward-to-chapter-2.html

Ton of Fun

Be Fruitful

 "When you check a tomato plant every day, and water it, and look at the leaves to see if there are little bugs to pick off, you are taking good care of it and helping it grow.  When you think about worries a lot and talk about them over and over again, you are helping the worries grow, too."~What to Do When You Worry Too Much by Dawn Huebner, Ph.D. #mrsbroamhats #yesitisatomatohat #allfeelingsareokay

"Poetry Break!"

 

"The Red-Bird" by Evaleen Stein

Swept lightly by the south wind
   The elm-leaves softly stirred,
And in their pale green clusters
   There straightway bloomed a bird!

His glossy feathers glistened
   With dyes as richly red
As any tulip flaming
   From out the garden bed.

But ah, unlike the tulips,
   In joyous strain, ere long,
This red-bird flower unfolded
   A heart of golden song!

HEE HAW

 

Are you mindful or distracted?  Are you words and actions agreeable?  What do you see when you look around?  Noticing what's going on, paying close attention, and responding well are characteristics of a successful member of your community.  Watch out for Wonky Donkeys . . . 👀  #mrsbroamhats #readaTONin2021

Sonia Sotomayor is the first Latina to ever serve as an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court. In her book, Turning Pages, she describes how books helped her grow. They were the "Flame. Electricity. Magic potion. Friend. Boat. Snorkel. Time machine. Launchpad. Lens. Teacher. Life preserver. Mirror. Map. Key." in her life. How do books help you grow? #readaTONin2021 #mrsbroamhats

I know it doesn't matter what you eat or how much you exercise if you don't breathe correctly! I know because I read this book over our Winter Break. It's important to breathe through your nose because it clears, heats, and moistens the air so your body can better absorb it.  A slow, deep breath, with a full exhale, strengthens the range of your diaphragm and increases your lung capacity which contributes to living longer, healthier, and calmer lives.  What have you learned from a good book lately? #readaTONin2021 #mrsbroamhats
