Event Details

MMPL has partnered with the NDSU extension- Morton County Agent, Cassie Allerdings/ Family and Community Wellness agent to offer Mindful Me. This program promotes mindful practices that lead to improvements in managing one’s own goals, developing a sense of self, time management, stress management, emotional regulation, and mindful eating practices. Specific outcomes from youth participation in the curriculum include short-term (skill development and knowledge gain), mid-term (increased stress management, mindful eating, etc.), and long-term (improved physical, emotional, and social health) benefits.

Parents are expected to remain on library premises during the duration of the lesson, according to library policy.

The topics covered:

March 18 - Mood Management: Acting grumpy often leaves us feeling sad and lonely, but talking about our grumpy feelings with caring adults and other people we love can help us feel better.

March 25 - Practice Focusing: Sometimes things don’t go our way, but how we react can make things better or worse.

April 1 - Quiet Listening, Being the Quiet: Meditation is a toll that can help us calm down when we’re too stressed, scared, or overwhelmed. By stopping to clear our mind and be still for a moment we can make ourselves feel better and stronger.
