Hello everybody!
Todays stilling time will hopefully show you a way that can help us calm down if we ever feel cross or angry. We can all have days or moments through a day where we get these negative feelings. It’s important that we don’t ignore these feelings but that we can have a way to release them.
If you would like to try this then it’s important that you have an adult or grown up with you. It’s a nice thing to do just for calming time too.
You will need to light a candle that is safely placed and sturdy…I used a tangerine in an egg cup! When it is lit, watch the flame flickering and focus on the wax as it melts away. As you watch this, take some slow, deep breaths and as you release your breath focus on also releasing that negativity that you’re feeling. You need to watch the candle for a good few minutes in order to get into the calming mindset, ignore any background noise or anything going on around you.
I hope you find this useful. I always love having a candle burning in the evenings when I need some time to relax, I hope this helps you too.
Stay safe and keep smiling,
Love Mrs O’Donnell
Thanks Mrs O. That’s a really useful tip especially at the moment when things are beginning to become a bit more normal. It’s been really hard for everyone and we’ve all had to cope with it in our own ways but that is definitely a good way. Miss you all loads. Iona x ?
I hope it will be useful for many things Iona, especially with your exciting transition to high school in the very near future! Time for yourself away from the many distractions and things going on around us is really important. To help clear our minds of things that can weigh us down. Even adults need this time to reset and relax. It sounds like you’ve all done amazingly in adjusting to lock down and now the gradual, phased return to normality. A big well done to you all!
