The Teal Times
Cox Mill HS - Student Support Services (S3) - 9.9.20
Wellness Wednesday Topic: Back to Nature
This week in our SEL lesson, we learned about mindfulness. Mindfulness provides us opportunities really pay attention to what is going on around and within us. Mindfulness allows us to tune in to ourselves and our environments and gives us a break from the worries of the moment. Mindfulness moments let us reset our emotions to a more settled place.
As the leaves change this fall, use the sights, sounds and smells of autumn as part of your mindfulness routine. Notice the crunch of the leaves when you walk, feel the cooling air changes each day...whatever your mindfulness craves, you can find it this fall in our beautiful North Carolina.

- Hold a cold can or bottle of soft drink in your hands. Feel the coldness, and the wetness on the outside. Note the bubbles and taste as you drink.
- If you are sitting, feel the chair under you and the weight of your body and legs pressing down onto it. Notice the pressure of the chair, or floor, or table against your body and limbs.
