4 ways to start a mindful morning: Positive affir 4 ways to start a mindful morning:

Positive affirmations - Say positive statements to yourself aloud. You can start by introducing phrases and eventually kids can make their own individual lists.

Practice gratitude - Identify some things you are grateful for. Try to remember both the big things and the little things. They both matter!

Connect with nature - Spend a few minutes outside. If you can't get out there, take a moment to watch outside the window. Even just watching a bird fly by can feel incredibly calming.

Mindful breathing - Use mindful breathing activities to set the stage for a calm body and mind.
