🍃 When children are calm, their energy levels mirror the activity and environment surrounding them. This means a tranquil atmosphere often results in the child exuding a sense of peace and contentment. In contrast, a more lively and stimulating environment may lead to the child displaying higher levels of energy and enthusiasm. 💕 CalmBrain helps children mirror positive emotions (Professor Barbara L. Fredrickson) by creating a positive mood through specific movements. These movements aim to elicit feelings of joy, love, gratitude, amusement, interest, pride, awe, hope, serenity, and inspiration. This approach helps children develop emotional regulation skills and awareness. 🤝 Regularly using words and attaching them to the experience of the emotion can help children better relate to feelings and emotions, empowering them to understand their own and others' feelings. www.calmbrainapproach.com #calmbrain #calmbrainapproach #childmentalhealth #mindfulness #positivepsychology #positiveemotions #emotionalregulation #schools #therapy

Remember the carefree days of childhood, filled with games, laughter, and pure enjoyment? While adulthood brings responsibilities, the act of play shouldn't be left behind. Play isn't just for kids – it offers surprising benefits for adult well-being, especially when it comes to reducing stress. Here's how incorporating play into your life can make a big difference: 👉 Stress Relief: Playful activities trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins combat stress hormones, leaving you feeling happier and calmer. 👉 Boosts Creativity: Play allows your mind to explore freely and experiment with new ideas. This can lead to increased creativity and problem-solving skills, beneficial in all aspects of life. 👉 Social Connection: Playing games or engaging in shared activities with others fosters social connection and strengthens relationships. Laughter and shared experiences create a sense of belonging and combat feelings of isolation. 👉 Mindfulness and Focus: Focusing on a playful activity can bring you into the present moment, promoting mindfulness and reducing anxiety. This can be especially helpful for those prone to overthinking or worry. 👉 Improves Mood: The act of play is inherently enjoyable. Engaging in activities you find fun can significantly boost your mood and leave you feeling more optimistic. Play doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. The key is to find activities you enjoy and that bring you a sense of fun and relaxation. Incorporating play into your routine can be a game-changer for managing stress, boosting your mood, and promoting overall well-being. So go ahead, let loose, have some fun, and rediscover the joy of play! #play #adultplay #stressrelief #mentalhealth #wellbeing #Neurogen #FortMill
