Haoura and Olympians

 

Embracing how to win and lose is important because you will be more accepting of the result and will bounce back next time and at the same time showing good sportsmenship & respect to your competitiors. Athletes train both their body and mind so that all their four walls are balanced no matter what happens on the big stage. When you know how to win and lose you can reflect on the past and try to do better when another chance comes around.

Mindfulness

 LI: to practice mindfulness when in stressful situations.

Mindfulness is training your mind to become aware of not only yourself, but also your surroundings. When it comes to mindfulness, there are two zones. The red zone and the green zone. The red zone is all the negative emotions you feel when stressed. The green zone is all of the positive emotions which help you when feeling stressed. For example, when in a stressful situation, you can clear your mind and stay calm. This is when your mind enters the green zone. In the red zone, you feel waves of negativity overcoming your mind. 

When trying to focus, your mind wanders. Although your body can be present, your mind can be wandering around and thinking about the past or future. With mindfulness, you focus on the present moment and what is happening at that moment.

The mindfulness practice helps you clear your mind, focus on your breathing and overall makes you content and composed. To do this activity, we faced away from others to be focused. We had a straight back, soft stomach, closed eyes and our hands on our knees. When the mindfulness bell rang, we calmed ourselves and focused on our breathing. When breathing, you are more focused on you and your surroundings.
