In collaboration with Mrs. Cartwright at Pleasanton Middle School, I was given the amazing opportunity to share mindfulness tips and techniques for stress management to middle school students taking the Health course.
Through Google Classroom, I submitted a webinar-style video that clearly highlights the following:
- What is Stress
- Why We Feel Stressed
- What is Mindfulness
- How Can Mindfulness Help
Along with this video, I provided the presentation where they can access the materials and use the practice videos.
For the practice videos, I focused on 3 aspects: increasing motivation, decreasing stress, and energizing the body. To suit this balance that we are promoting when managing stress, I created three sets of practice videos as followed below.
Breath Awareness
- Calms you! Gives you a nice boost of happy hormones.
- Great to practice in the morning or after completing work.
- Can also calm you from excess stress/energy from work!
Yogic Jogging
- Energizes and activates!
- Practice before or as a break during studies! Great in the morning too!
- Can be a great cardio exercise!
Sun Salutations
- Activates during a break from studying! Or when you need to relieve stress!
- Controls your stress, but also motivates you!
In all, I have received great reviews from Mrs. Cartwright and the middle school Health students at Pleasanton Middle School about the effectiveness of my resources. My resources will always be accessible online, so the students can practice at their own convenience! Thank you to Mrs. Cartwright for all your support!
