Mindfulness, what is it exactly and why is it great for kids?

21 November, 2016

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.

The Power of Visualisation - Kids Sport, Health & Wellness

19 November, 2016

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.

A great additional fitness option for kids to get fit & healthy

15 November, 2016

Not just a great way for adults to get fit, but kids too. Skipping is one of the most underrated fitness techniques for staying in shape and keeping a healthy heart. Used by top athletes across a range of sports from tennis to boxing, skipping gets the heart rate up and is a fun way to get outside and do something active. You can also raise much needed money by participating in the Jump Rope For Heart initiative (https://heartfoundation.org.au/) as featured above.
