What Does Being Mindful Mean

Mindfulness, what does that word mean to you?

It is a very popular word right now and it can be taken in many different ways.

Is it mindful with your words, your choices, your place in the word? It can lead to mean many different things and how we relate to the word.

Here at Art Enrichment Kids, mindfulness means becoming more aware of who we are and the greater world around us. Through our creative expression we can learn a lot about who we are and how we relate to the world. Through art we can learn how we problem solve, show us where we chose to continue or give up, and how we show up in our daily lives. To instill the love for personal growth in kids is one of core missions! We believe that being mindful of how we show up, how we treat ourselves, and others has a ripple effect that can create powerful change.

Teaching kids how they can become more mindful of who they are and how their actions affect others is a huge part of the program and through the creative expression we can dive into that together. We allow them the freedom to create pieces that come naturally to them, to encourage their creative side to shine through. Being mindful can mean a lot of of different things to each individual person, but that no matter that means to you having a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world is a key aspect of what makes us human.

What does mindfulness mean to you? How do you relate to the word?

We will dive into being present and focusing on our world and art with the kids throughout the program!
