THANK YOU

Angels & Allies Web Mood Board & Structure (18).png

Hey Hermanita, 

Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. 

 

So, here it is!!! 

6 Days for you to connect with your baby girl. We hope you love this connection challenge and find the opportunity to discover the different ways you and your special girl can BOND.

DAY 1

BEING MINDFUL

 

Mindfulness is the practice of slowing down.  It is the deliberate action taken to pay attention to your senses, your surroundings, your thoughts, your self. This slow down helps with relaxation, dis ease, thinking, and more.  

 

In this activity you will each take a moment together to take an intention filled break to observe the things around and within you. You will agree on the time to do this activity and set the intention to silently observe your five major senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste), your feelings, thoughts, and whatever else comes up.  Once you have agreed take 5 minutes to walk around your kitchen, or living room, or back yard.  It really doesn’t matter where you are. During these 5 minutes observe your senses, your feelings, thoughts, and anything else that comes up.

 

After your 5 mindful minutes come together for a share.  Talk about what came up.  See whats the same. See whats different.  Was it hard? Why? Why not? Practice normalizing quiet intentional moments to observe the self and take inventory. :) See what happens.

Focused Mind

DAY 2

GRATITUDE IS THE ATTITUDE

 

A practice in gratitude can help improve relationships, our perspective, and overall mood.  It can be pretty easy to lose sight of things we are grateful for though. Especially, in today’s world where there seems to be an increasing amount of reasons to disagree. We can become distracted by the negative effects of social media scrolling, the news, and, let’s face it, the pandemic.

 

In this activity you will fill the jar below with all of the things you are grateful for today.  The idea here is to remain open and simply observe the moments throughout the day that you feel a positive emotion, observe what brought that positive emotion up, connect that to gratitude, and add it to the jar.

 

At the end of the day, sometime, you will make time to share. Again, Use your mindful practice to observe your senses and emotions as you discuss.  Share your experiences and use whatever comes up as an opportunity to elaborate, discuss, and connect.

Writing a Diary

DAY 3

FEELINGS, FEELINGS & MORE FEELINGS

 

How do you express your feelings?

Did you know that most of us are born with some basic emotions? Joy, surprise, anger, disgust, and fear are some.  Truthfully, though, there are so many words to describe the variety of emotions we, humans, can experience.

 

The purpose of this activity is for you to become aware of the mind body connection by understanding how our body movements, and facial expressions express our emotions without words.

 

Mom and Daughter will do this at the same time individually.

  • Step 1. Take a moment to write down every emotion you can think of right now.

  • Step 2.  Now.  Look at your list. Is your emotion a negative emotion, a neutral emotion, or a positive emotion?  Place each emotion into the appropriate column.

  • Step 3. Now. Think of 4 different kinds of foods. 

  • Step 4. Give each food you named an emotion.

  • Step 5. Look in the mirror and read each food and emotion out loud.  

  • Step 6. Draw your expression for each emotion you described.

 

Share your work with each other once completed and observe what emotions you had in common.

 

Mindful Moment: At the end of your share take a moment to bring awareness to your body, thoughts, feelings, and anything else that comes up. Remember that our mind and body is connected and communication is not always verbal.  What we feel can be felt by others and expressed through our body language. Use this awareness as a discussion piece.

DAY 4

WELCOME TO DAY 4

 

The purpose of this activity is for the two of you to have fun being active together.  You get to choose the level of intensity for each activity.  During your Daily Check In take time to discuss the list, then pick an activity that you both could agree on.  Then, choose a date together, add it to your schedule, and make it happen.  

 

MINDFUL MOMENT:  Whichever activity you decide to do be sure to take a few minutes before to set an intention for your time together.  Be purposeful as you move through your activity to bring awareness to you body, thoughts, feelings, surroundings, and anything else that comes up.  Use this as discussion prompts.

DAY 5

LET IT GO!!!

 

Letting go is an easy enough concept.  Why is it so hard to do though?  Sometimes we become emotionally attached to ideas and things.  It can keep us from making progress at times. 

 

In this activity you will observe the list below.  Circle all of the items that you want to let go of now.

 

Once you are done make time to share.  Use your mindful practice to observe your senses and emotions as you share your list. Ask yourselves and each other what came up during the activity, and what comes up now as you share.  What do you have in common? What is different? How does that feel?

DAY 6

LET'S GET SILLY!

 

Silliness and play are essential for ease, enjoyment, and simple pleasure. Let’s play a game of would you rather?

In this activity you will read the list out loud together and just answer the questions as you go along.  Make room for pause and for laughter.  Use your mindful practice to observe your feelings as you go. Share your experience and use whatever comes up as an opportunity to elaborate, discuss, and connect.
