Mindfulness Skills

What do you know about Mindfulness? If you’ve ever looked after a puppy, you’ll know how important it is to train it so that it doesn’t wander around the house and chew up your sofa.

Mindfulness is like training our mind in the same way so you can focus on what’s happening now, instead of worrying about things that have already happened or might happen in the future.

What you can do for sure is be present for what is happening now. Mindfulness takes a few minutes practice each day and is like your very own brain gym!

Here’s some great starter activities:

Worry Bubbles

It’s normal that lots of worries come to visit us day-to-day but ever find that sometimes they stay a little too long? Bubbles make the perfect aircraft to help those worries move on.

If they decide to come back, we can say hello and get them back in their bubble car as many times as we need!​

First, get a piece of paper and write your worries out, one in each bubble you draw

Now it’s time to make the Bubble Mix! You need washing up liquid, water and a bowl. To the bowl add one part washing up liquid to 6 parts of water. Stir it up!! Ask the adult at home with you, if they have any glycerine in the kitchen cupboards. Add a few drops to the mixture.

Now, we are nearly ready! In the house, maybe you have a cookie cutter, or a potato masher, or even a badminton racket. Test it out with your Bubble Mixture.

Now it’s time for action. Take a deep breath in and out. Picture your worries in the bubbles and watch them float away high into the clouds.
