Getting out early in the morning is not only a great way to start the day (as it gets the blood flowing & energy up!) but has also been proven to increase energy throughout the day.

Do you ever get up early and go jogging or do something active, thinking that you will likely be more tired by the end of the day, only to find you actually have more energy? This is often the case as this early morning energy release will actually help prime the body for the day and allow you to use more of that valuable energy throughout it.

In numerous studies over the years, it has been found that the most successful people in business, sport & life are often early risers and 'active risers' (they exercise first thing in the morning).

This is why we believe that getting your kids out and active in the morning is the best possible thing you can do for them to not only boost their mood and energy, but actually improve their ability to perform in school.

Mindfulness has a transformative nature that allows children (and adults) to truly let go of stress tension, anxiety and worry. What this practise is doing for schools and communities is incredible and we at Fit For Kids Co. are such big proponents of its benefits to kids.

Just a simple breathing exercise can be enough to dramatically alter your state or mood, through mindfulness. This is something that children can begin to use in school and in the playground to improve behaviour and reduce tension with other students.

Below is a great video about controlling emotion and regulating breathe through the practise, 

Enjoy.

We are so excited to announce our first Mindfulness & Movement Holiday Program for January 2017! 

 
The program will be run by Darren James of Darren James PT - Evo Healing and Performance & will be a fantastic way to introduce your children (ages 4 - 10yrs) to mindfulness whilst getting them out of the house & active during the summer break! 

The program will be held at Mordialloc Beach Primary School on the 11th, 12th & 13th of January. So if you are in the area or know anyone who would be interested, we would love for you to share the link! The Fit For Kids Co. Team.

Now that we have launched our NEW Mindfulness & Movement program here at Fit For Kids Co. we thought we would give you all some more details about what mindfulness is, why it is great for kids and how you can begin to practise it in your everyday lives.

Mindfulness is simply, being aware and focussed on the present moment. It has been proven in numerous studies that practising mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety and can help prevent a whole number of mental ilnesses. For children in the 'modern technological' days of increased technology use, smartphones, video games and incredible levels of stimulation, mindfulness can be an increadibly powerful tool to calm and relax. 

We have found a number of great video's and resources which we have listed below to give you a better understanding of Mindfulness and how you can apply it to your life today.

 

We hope these videos have given you a better understanding of mindfulness & the powerful benifits it can have on adults and children.

For anyone that has read 'The power or ositive thinking', 'The law of attraction', 'The Secret' or a similar resource, you will understand the value placed on positive visualisation. The reason visualisation is so powerful is that by engaging in a thought of what will happen, you are really asking your brain & body to find the answer. Think of it like a search engine, you put in a request, and based on all possible resources your brain and body together will attempt to bring the thought into fruition, which is pretty cool right?

The thing about this process is that it works both ways. Ever been in a game of something like tennis or golf and thought 'I'm going to miss this shot' or 'I'm goming to choke on this point?' and guess what, you did right? That's because the brain takes that visualisation positive or negative and brings it to life! It doesn't determine if it's a good or bad thing or result, it simply does what it's told!

That is why positive visualisation is so powerful, if done consistently and in the right direction, it can dramatically increase the chances for success. Practice this not only in sport but in everyday life as well. You may be pleasantly surprised what situations you can bring about simply by visualising them coming to pass. Try it today and see.
