Fear of Failure - 5 Minute Meditation for Kids

Being afraid to fail is unnecessary. Failure is what helps us to learn better, create something better, and learn how to do something better the next time. It is so important for our children to understand that failure is part of life and helps us evolve and do things differently. More importantly, everyone fails! No one is perfect and everyone fails in their life many times. It is just one of the many things that helps us to become a better version of ourselves. 

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

Transcript

We have so much to create in this world. 

We each have our own special talents, and can create beautiful things for the world to see.

The world needs us and all that we can do. 

When we become afraid of failing, we stop ourselves from creating or performing. This hides our light from the world, and the world needs our light. 

When we are afraid of failing, we end up not trying and end up missing out. 

Don't be afraid of failure, because failure can be like a friend who helps us become better creators or leads us on a different path. 

It can help us find a new way to learn, or figure out how to do something better when it doesn’t work out the first time.

Failures can teach us how to do better and guide us to new ideas. 

Nobody is perfect in this world, and we are constantly learning and changing. 

Let us take a few moments to relax and feel into the trust in ourselves and what we will create. 

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

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

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

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

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

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 minds, “I have faith and trust in myself to do the best that I can.”

“I have faith and trust in myself to do the best that I can.” 

Now, with each inhale or exhale of our breath, silently in your mind, slowly say “I have faith and trust in myself to do the best that I can.”

“I have faith and trust in myself to do the best that I can.” 

Repeat these words as you breathe. “I have faith and trust in myself to do the best I can.”

I have faith and trust in myself to do the best that I can. 

I have faith and trust in myself to do the best that I can.

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

Have faith in yourself. Trust yourself. All is well.
