SIT UP STRAIGHT! 🪑⁠
⁠
Isn't it funny how every time you hear or see those words, you instantly notice how bad your posture is?⁠
⁠
Don't worry, it happens to the best of us! ⁠
⁠
But with it being "Correct Posture Month" I thought I would give you an easy one to remember to correct your posture— and practice mindfulness— for at least 1 minute a day. ⁠
⁠
I call it: the S.T.O.P and B.O.P⁠
⁠⁠
🛑 First, S.T.O.P and get the body ready.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
S- Shoulders relaxed⁠⁠
T- Tummy soft⁠⁠
O- Open & close the mouth⁠⁠
P- Posture tall⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Once you're in position, we're going to B.O.P or Breathe On Purpose!⁠⁠ 🌬⁠
⁠⁠
Follow the video for a quick 5-minute breathing exercise to help you de-stress.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠💬 Leave a comment or DM me if you have tried this and how it felt before and after!⁠⁠

Your breathing habits change by the time you're 5 1/2 years old according to @drbelisa⁠
⁠
It comes from things like wearing heavy backpacks, poor posture, and sitting in school all day. ⁠
⁠
What's the big deal?⁠
⁠
Well, poor breathing manifests into other problems as we become adults. Problems like:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ IBS or acid reflux⁠
2️⃣ Back pain, and⁠
3️⃣ Anxiety⁠
⁠
That's why I'm so passionate about teaching kids TODAY how to breathe properly. They don't need to have all these problems we adults have. ⁠

Remember stop, drop, and roll? 🔥⁠
⁠
We learned this as kids for emergency situations. We've ALL taken this mantra with us into adulthood.⁠
⁠
But there's another one your kids should learn. One that teaches them to STOP and deal with stressful situations...⁠
⁠
Your kids are sitting hunched at their desks all day. These positions inhibit the diaphragm, which messes up your breathing. ⁠
⁠
And what happens when you feel like you can't breathe?⁠
⁠
It creates stress in your body.⁠
⁠
That’s why you have to learn to breathe on PURPOSE and the right way. We have to interrupt these harmful stress cycles (i.e. slouching).⁠
⁠
So teachers and parents, just like stop, drop, and roll 🔥 it's time to teach your kids to S.T.O.P. and B.O.P.⁠
⁠
S.T.O.P. and B.O.P. helps to release that tension first. So S.T.O.P:⁠
⁠
S- Shoulders relaxed⁠
T- Tummy soft⁠
O- Open & close the mouth⁠
P- Posture tall⁠
⁠
Now, let’s relax. It’s time to B.O.P. or Breathe On Purpose.⁠
⁠
Check out my Reels library for B.O.P. exercises!⁠

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Every year, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) introduces a different method for highlighting mental health. ⁠
⁠
This year, NAMI is amplifying the message of "Together for Mental Health." ⁠

Too many people— kids, teens, and adults— are plagued with mental health problems. It's taken a long time, but as a society, we're finally beginning to tell our stories.⁠
⁠
For the first time for many, you know You Are Not Alone. ⁠
⁠
Share this in your stories or in your feed to show support to quiet friends, family, and followers who may not be ready to tell the world their struggles. Let them know they are not alone. ⁠

I have a secret.⁠ 🤭⁠
⁠
Well, I suppose it's not a secret anymore since I'm posting it online!⁠
⁠
Today, I hosted a workshop for @macmh_org MACMH's Annual Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference.⁠
⁠
It was such an honor to speak with educators on "How you breathe and its influence on your mind, mood, and health."⁠
⁠
I'm overwhelmed and grateful to see so many inspiring teachers, therapists, and leaders taking steps to present mental health to children. ⁠
⁠
Thank you again to Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health (MACMH) for having me!⁠

Do affirmations work?⁠
⁠
It's easy to focus on the negative— even for kids. Teaching them that they have the power to control their thoughts and overall well-being is where affirmations come into play. ⁠
⁠
As @psych_today puts it, "Affirmations are used to reprogram the subconscious mind, to encourage us to believe certain things about ourselves or about the world and our place within it. ⁠
⁠
They are also used to help us create the reality we want."⁠
⁠
So, instead of stuffing your kids' Easter baskets with candy this year, consider giving them some mindful gifts like Affirmation Eggs! ⁠
⁠
Simply write one affirmation per egg and put it in their basket or include them in the egg hunt 🥚🧺⁠
⁠
🧡 Need another mindful gift your kids will LOVE? The BE Buddy® comes in 6 colorful characters! Use code EASTER5 for $5 OFF and free shipping on U.S. orders!⁠

It's Stress Awareness Month, so let me explain how YOU stressing is bad for your kids:⁠
⁠
Think about how many times you’ve felt unnerved this past week: running late in the morning, spilling your coffee, or traffic on the way to school. ⁠
⁠
How did you react?⁠
⁠
These types of stresses come second-nature to us parents, but we need to remember:⁠
⁠
Our kids are watching! 👀⁠
⁠
To make sure your child doesn’t develop their own adverse knee-jerk reactions to stress, you first have to learn how to manage your own. ⁠
⁠
Let them see mommy or daddy take deep belly breaths the next time you feel overwhelmed with work or housekeeping. Then, watch for your kids to start mimicking these behaviors!⁠
⁠
📆 Need an expert to help you manage your stress levels? Schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation with me, your unofficial breathing coach! ⁠

It's Stress Awareness Month, so let me explain how YOU stressing is bad for your kids:⁠
⁠
Think about how many times you’ve felt unnerved this past week: running late in the morning, spilling your coffee, or traffic on the way to school. ⁠
⁠
How did you react?⁠
⁠
These types of stresses come second-nature to us parents, but we need to remember:⁠
⁠
Our kids are watching! 👀⁠
⁠
To make sure your child doesn’t develop their own adverse knee-jerk reactions to stress, you first have to learn how to manage your own. ⁠
⁠
Let them see mommy or daddy take deep belly breaths the next time you feel overwhelmed with work or housekeeping. Then, watch for your kids to start mimicking these behaviors!⁠

Almost everyone's breathing pattern changes as they get older. Yes, even you. ⁠
⁠
Watch your dog or a child under 5-years old, and you will see a healthy breathing pattern. Their bellies will get big when they inhale (like a balloon 🎈) and smaller on the exhale. ⁠
⁠
Dr. Belisa Vranich @drbelisa completed a study of 158 children (ages 2-11) and found that by age 5 ½, dysfunctional breathing patterns begin to emerge. ⁠
⁠
Sitting for long periods and wearing heavy backpacks changes our posture are a few reasons attributed to the change in our breathing habits.⁠
⁠
The solution?⁠
⁠
Teach kids at a young age to give them the tools to prevent those bad habits from setting in.⁠
⁠
