Here’s Jeremiah Doodle-Dumpling with a useful Mindfulness Trick. 

Sometimes, our life feels like there’s a tornado rampaging though it, and turning everything upside down, and even inside out! (Much like what happened to Sheamus Sherman Schnouzer-shoes, the shy, sheep-shearing shepherd, from Shipton Shoreshells, who was made famous the day his coat tails got caught in his kite string, when a waywardly, whooshing, westerly wind, coming from a northerly direction, unexpectedly sent him into orbit! 

By the time he got back on solid ground again, his inny was an outy, his outy was an inny, his upside was his downside, and his downside was his upside. An outside in, and downside up, topsy-turvy, tizzy-whizzy of the utmost proportions, was what that was. Yes sir, it most certainly was! 

A tornado in our life, sure can leave us stressed-out, and, in a tizzy-wizzy too! But, what if the solution to our overwhelming chaos is as simple as a great big intentional breath? 

Hi, my name is Jeremiah Doodle-Dumpling, and I am the ‘Story-Keeper’ here at ‘Once Upon A Time’. I’m responsible for archiving everything that happens at Faery Wood (Both ‘what worked’ AND ‘what didn’t’).

I’ve witnessed both the highs and lows for generations of Coddle-Poppers, and nobody understands the consequences of poor choices better than me.

This is what the Coddle-Poppers call ‘The 3-Threes Mindfulness Wizardry.’ It’s quick, effective, and we use it to help us regain control when life feels like it’s getting out of hand. We use our senses, plus a few simple actions to ground ourself back into the present ‘now’ moment. It works as simple as this:

First: Name 3 things you can see.

Look around and find three specific objects. For example: An empty soda can, the enthusiastic squirrel going about his busy-ness, or the greasy finger-marks on the tv remote control from last night’s snack… oops.

Second: Identify 3 sounds you can hear.

Stop and listen. It might be your Mom nagging at you to tidy your room, the humming of pesky insects, or birds chirping at the feeder.

Third: Move 3 parts of your body.

Stretch your back, jiggle your toes, roll your eyes (especially if you’re a teenager. Grown-ups love that thing!), and finish off with a great big breath that feels like you’ve got enough air in the lungs to blow out all the candles on Great-Grandma’s birthday cake, and still have spare to blow up a few balloons for her party too! 

It might not seem much, but even these small actions are enough to pull us out of our head, and, bring us back to our body. The Coddle-Popper, 3-Threes Mindfulness Wizardry, pulls us away from the mental spiral of our overwhelm, to-do lists, worries, or whatever else, and back into the present ‘now’ moment. By engaging our senses, it interrupts the stress cycle, and gives our brain the precious opportunity to reset.

The Coddle-Popper 3-Three’s Mindfulness Wizardry works for stress at work or school, presentations, when we’re anxious/beginning to panic, or when our thoughts are getting out of control. Use it literally anywhere, such as, grocery shopping or any other place that we don’t particularly want to be either, such as work school or the chaos at home. The next time that you’re overwhelmed, remember:

Stop, look, listen, & move. 

With just one breath, we claim back our calm. 

IMPORTANT: Our mind is a magnet. When we think of blessings, we attract blessings. Likewise, when we think of problems we attract problems too. So we need to do our best to make sure to always have good thoughts and be positive.

More mindfulness tips incoming, but until the next time, keep smiling, and together we’ll change the world – one act of kindness at a time.
