MVP Mindful Moment
Summer Ideas
1. The Popsicle Challenge
The next time you eat a popsicle on a hot day, be silent until your popsicle is entirely gone. Really notice all the different tastes. What flavors do you notice? Does the popsicle start to feel different in your mouth as it starts melting? What temperature changes do you notice? Was it hard to stay quiet?
2. Sky Study
Put a blanket down on the lawn and spend some time staring at the clouds. What shapes do you see? Animals? People? Spend at least 10-15 minutes studying the sky — and notice how the clouds gently move along. Notice how the cloud that first looked like a pig now looks like a cat. Our minds are kind of like the sky — thoughts float through on their own, and they change on their own. We can watch our thoughts in our minds like we watch the clouds!
3. Noticing Walk
Go for a walk in your neighborhood and notice 10 things you've never really paid attention to before — perhaps the color of the neighbor’s shutters or the flowers along the way. You could also try to listen for new sounds, too. Why do you think you've never noticed these before?
