Happy Mindful Mondays,
This week I’m sharing two web and app-based programs.
The first is Smiling Mind, which I learned about from Kate Beesch. She shared it with MS staff in her Middle School News and Notes. You can choose the appropriate age group and even try it out with their trial offer. If you do like it you can download it for free. It says it’s a modern meditation for young people. A unique web and App-based program, designed to help bring balance to young lives. http://smilingmind.com.au/
The second program is Stop, Breathe & Think. It guides you through a few questions about your mental, physical and emotional state of being at the moment and then based on how you are doing, it offers three mindful exercises to choose from.
For example:
I’m mentally (choose one: great, good, meh, poor, rough)
Physically (choose one: great, good, meh, poor, rough)
Emotionally (choose from a list)
Then based on your answers they calculate an appropriate mindful exercise. Some examples that I’ve seen include: a 10 minute Body Scan, a 5-10 minute Gratitude Guided Meditation, Mindful Breathing, Compassion Guided Meditation or even a Mindful Walk. http://app.stopbreathethink.org/
Let me know if you find either one of them useful!
in training,
Ann
