Social anxiety is something that all of us deal with. When we can incorporate our breath as a tool to calm, we gain confidence trusting in ourselves. Our breath is our super power and has the power to relax us so that we can accomplish anything, whether that is meeting new people, raising our hand to answer a question in class, or trying something new. 

Mindfulness is an important theme in 'The Paper Girls Show'. Together with "Making" and "Mistakes", they create the "3 M's of The Paper Girls Show", which serve as the series' pillars. "Make things Mindfully – don't sweat your Mistakes", as our mantra goes!
 
The goal of this series is to help guide children through mindful breathing techniques, visualizations, and positive affirmations to use throughout the day when needed.

Our practices contain:
🧘‍♀️ Mindful breathing exercises for kids
😊 Positive affirmations for kids
🧠 Visualizations for kids

Sometimes, we all feel a little anxious. 

It could be when we’re going to new places and meeting new people.

Or when we raise our hands in class or participate in a group activity. 

We may get anxious because we think that others are judging us. 

But it is OK.  We all feel a little anxious sometimes. 

Please know that at such times, your breath can help you relax and feel less anxious.

Now, let us focus on our breath for a few minutes. 

Let us begin by becoming comfortable in a chair or on the floor. 

Close your eyes or rest your gaze on the floor below or sky above. 

Take a long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth. 

Again, take another long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth. 

Now just feel your breath as it enters your body, as you breathe normal. 

Feel your body breath for you naturally. 

Don't force your breath; just feel your breath enter your body, and exit your body. 

Feel your body breathing.

Notice how your body is breathing. Are you breathing in and out of your nose? 

In and out of your mouth? 

Or a combination of the two? 

Just feel your breath for a few moments.

Let us silently say in our mind, “I am relaxed.” 

“I am relaxed”

Now, with each inhale or exhale of our breath, silently and slowly say “I am relaxed”

“I am relaxed” 

Repeat these words as you breathe. “I am relaxed”

Keep breathing deeply throughout the day.  

Your breath can be your superpower and will help you feel relaxed. 

You will have a great day.
