Research is Revealing there is Tremendous Value in Teaching Self-Care in Our Schools

11/6/2019

As we mentioned in an earlier post, Science Backs Practicing Self-Kindness, phycologists are diving deeper into finding out the cause and effect relationship of adults and adolescents who practice self-compassion, self-kindness, and mindfulness. 

Phycologists Marina Cunha, Ana Xavier, and Paula Castilho are focusing their research on self-compassion and adolescents. In their studies, they use Kristen Neff Self-Compassion Scale to help them identify which children practice self-compassion and which do not. 

All this research is revealing there is tremendous value in teaching self-care practices in our schools for everyone, teachers, parents, students, counselors, and principals; it appears to be essential for everyone's mental well-being.   

To help you get started on your wellness journey, here are three acts of self-kindness you can do this week.

  1. Have a picnic. Grab a blanket, some sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Find the perfect spot for your picnic - the beach, the forest, a sunny place on the playground, or even your backyard - relax and enjoy!

  2. Take a day to pamper yourself. Think of activities that will have you feeling happy and relaxed. Ideas: a spa day, going to movies, taking a long walk, going shopping, or reading your favorite book. 

  3. Complete self-kindness writing prompts. Sometimes writing down your thoughts to questions can help you positively focus on you. Here is a list of 25 questions you can use.

Do these three acts of self-kindness this week and tell us how you feel by using #iChoose2BeKind on your favorite social media channel. 

Until next time... be thoughtful, be present, be kind.

    Note From the Founder

    Hello. I am the founder of the 21 Day Kindness Challenge Program.
    I believe if we focus our efforts on helping our young people develop good character values and teach them how to listen with their hearts their world will be a kinder place to live. It is my hope that my story inspires others to “be the change they want to see in the world.”
