30 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Students are encouraged to write new positive quotes in their journal or notebook and post their quote and/or affirmations from class to ponder through their week. They are also welcome to send me an inspiring quote before the next class that I can share with other students. I will try to read all the quotes brought by students to class. When we learn a new mindful technique and "do" it, they are encouraged to try it on their own and see if it feels good for them.Class Experience
This class is meant to boost daily energy levels and encourage more positive self talk. In this small piece of your week we will share and discuss quotes that help you think and grow, we'll read positive affirmations to build you up and help you continue to do your best, feeding ourselves positive "Brain Food", and we'll talk about and do small, simple practices of mindfulness that calm, energize, and build self esteem and inspire you to be all you can be, authentic, and true to you. You will be encouraged to keep a quote and affirmations journal and read your weekly affirmations daily. The more we read and process positive words as positive "brain food" they begin to become our "truth"! The ultimate goal in our class is for learners to identify ways that they can build the self-confidence and self-worth needed to live happy and productive lives and recognize their value in life. I teach kindness and tolerance for all our differences, because those differences make us each unique and amazing! I love working with all types of students and helping them engage and feel more comfortable speaking in class. Each week class will go as follows: *Check in-What made you smile this week? What was a challenge or a bit stressful? Discussion with friends about things we have in common with each other. *Affirmations-Read them then say them with me to feed our brains "POSITIVE BRAIN FOOD". *Discuss the topic for the week. (WE will often find this topic in our affirmations and quotes). *Read and study/discuss our quotes and how they can apply to us. *We end with a small brain break! A mindfulness moment or small meditation. Learning tools we can use whenever we need a brain break from stressful moments. Here a a long list of the many subjects we'll discuss and the outline of what each week will look like. 2023 July 3-7 (no classes) July 10-14 Thinking mistakes July 17-21 Success July 31-Aug 4 Fear August 1-4 Naming feelings August 7-11 Independence August 4-18 Listening August 21-25 Forgiveness Aug 28- Sept 1 Commitment Sept 4-8 (No class-Out of town) Sept 11-15 (No class.

Please try and find time to have your student watch our weekly video if they are sick, are going on vacation, or unforseen events come up. The time watching the class video could be just what they need during the week they have to miss! ***If a class stays at an enrollment of less than 3 for 4 weeks or more I may choose to end that section and see if you'd like to transfer to a different section.
Learning Goals
Students are encouraged to add the weekly quotes and affirmations to a personal notebook and post their affirmations to see daily or read them daily to lift their spirits and encourage positive, personal change. These statements along with the positive quotes we study in class can help raise our energy level and build self-esteem. Learning to share encouraging statements with others also raises our energy level. We also learn and practice small, simple ways to be mindful.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a master NLP Practitioner and EFT Practitioner with my own private practice and have worked in private, public and special needs schools as an aid and teacher also owning my own preschool for 20+ years.
It has been my privilege over the last two decades to work with students from ages birth-18 years in all walks and conditions of life, guiding them through hard feelings that don't serve them or allow them to feel joy and peace! I love the work I do! Helping those I work with see they have all the tools to be in control of their own lives is to me the ultimate joy!Reviews
