"Does Your Face Light Up?" - Toni Morrison
Teachers and Parents, I challenge you to "light up" every time your students and children walk in a room. Make note of how your household energy and atmosphere changes. It truly only takes a couple of minutes and can me a game changer. This is a mindful action that will not only let your students and children know that they are each appreciated and validated, but YOU will also feel appreciated and validated.
It's a WIN WIN!
I spent the holidays with one of my best friends and she commented on how I "light up" when I see someone I know (or even don't know). I told her, "Yes, I do!" It not only makes the person feel noticed, but it also makes me feel good. I realized that in the moment, that it truly has benefitted me over the years. Mindfully "lighting up" when I see a child or actually any person (or animal) has become part of my self-care. It truly helps me to calm down my own nervous system and literally "turns my frown upside down" and makes me Smile.

I have practiced over the years and now it is another Super Power I use to feel good, make others feel good, and calm myself down.
Have fun being calm!
