So how well is your BEING? Interesting days in a world that was always changing but at a much slower rate than before NOW. Our flexibility, adaptability, mental strength, patience, understanding, are fast becoming our currency and if we have been already nurturing these aspects of ourselves (our inner world) then perhaps now is when we need to express these qualities the most.   

To stay in your inner CALM when the world outside you is going crazy is our challenge. At St Pat's your children for the past four years in the Empowered Program have been learning strategies to keep them in their "calm zone". Many of the strategies are deep breathing practises with a couple of yoga asanas as well. It's the perfect time to use these strategies NOW and perhaps your children can teach you how to put one hand on your heart and the other hand on your belly and  "FEEL" in this moment.

Take some time for YOU.....to sit with yourself and BE. Try doing nothing, be still and listen to your inner voice, your inner wisdom. For if your inner CALM is strong then nothing in your outside world will be able to "trigger" you. If all else fails....just breathe...more deeply.

Calmly taking each moment as it comes.

P.S.  Your children have made a video of what "kindness" means to them at St Pat's.  In and through this kindess perhaps we will find and nourish our CALM.
