I love it you guys thank you so much on the chat awesome. So, I'm, you know, the founder of EQ schools, and it's where company that bring, you know, mindfulness emotional intelligence and positive psychology training to educators such as you. And again, thanks so much on the chat. It's awesome. Now, I speak all over the world, primarily in California but really all over the United States and all over the world. And I live in Santa Cruz, my two amazing kids and I freaking love my life. Okay, with that, before doing that, and I've been doing this for seven years now before doing that I've been a teacher I was a teacher for 15 years, and I absolutely loved teaching as well but I want to be honest with each and every one of you here on call. And just share that by my fourth year of teaching I almost quit because I was exhausted. I was burnt burning out. I forgot where I was a teacher in the first place. And then I had a very intense wake up call so I'd go to school one day right I parked my car get out of my car. And I walked towards my classroom and before I get to my classroom the Intercom goes off and telling us we have an emergency staff meeting. So I'm like, All right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, see what's going on. So I go sit down and in comes the principal and she tells us that she looks at us totally distraught and she tells all of us that one of our students committed suicide. And it was a very big school is 2000 kids in Palo Alto. And but when she said the name, it was my student. And I have to tell you all like that moment broke me. I literally felt shattered. I was like, I don't know how I don't keep going. Right. But unfortunately, he did it. I mean, the whole thing is unfortunate, but he didn't a very public way he did with the train and we really had to go break the news to kids and support them right away, basically. And so you know, as an educator, you just kind of put yourself aside and you go support the kids and I did the whole day. And at the end of the day, I got an email from his mom that I'll never forget. She said, Mr. BB had a real connection with my son because because I took him on this camp that he really loved and called Camp any town. And, and she asked me to speak in his funeral. She's just, you know, he had a real connection with you. Will you please, you know, so of course I said yes. Hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. But I did, you know, I'll go into the church. I sit in the first row. I wait, I see the mother speak about her child and the dad speak about him and then it's my turn to go up and speak. And at the end of my speech, I don't know if this ever happened to you all. Okay. Thanks, Maria. So appreciate you. I don't know if this ever happened to you all. And this might sound a little bit like United States, Northern California, Santa Cruz, tree huggy hippie. Okay. But I literally had a voice. I felt like I'm channeling three that told me if I'm going to continue to be an educator, there was nothing that was going to stop me from putting my students well being first. Nothing. I was going to teach them how to be well, you know, but the thing is, is that I was not well. And you know how kids can smell bullshit from a mile away. You know what I'm saying? So like I had to do a lot of work. I actually saw a therapist. I started really delving into like, like my mindfulness work myself, and I actually ended up having a lot more energy. I was more connected to my purpose. I was excited to go to work. And I love what I'm seeing here in the chat. And all of a sudden, my students like literally thought I was on something, you know, because I had, I was more connected to my purpose. I was excited. And I created this course called positive psychology. And I was praying that 25 students would sign up because, you know, you have to have the numbers. You have to have 25 students in the elective. And 107 signed up, which was amazing to me. It blew my mind. And so I got this course for four years. I saw hundreds of kids behaviorally shift in front of my eyes and basically realized at that moment that a lot of the things that I'm doing that I'm going to show you today, improv games, connection, rituals, mindfulness practices, these are things that we can do with any class that make teaching actually easier and more fun. And allow the students to feel better and more well. So, so I started doing that. That's how the schools was born, basically, and seven years later, here we are. So that's enough of me just talking to you. I want to delve right in. And because I want to give you as much as I can with the amount of time that we have, I just want to say one important thing. While this is a webinar style zoom kind of, you know, keynote, I just want to say it's still very interactive. So I really because I'm a teacher, you know, I believe in not only interaction, but in active learning. And so the more energy you give to this, the more you are going to get. All right, like, meaning that if I get asked you to get into a mindful body posture and do something with me or ask you to play a quick game with me or, or, or, you know, put stuff in the chat, like, the more you allow yourself to fully get into it, the more you're going to get cool. So let's delve in. So you know how you may have a really great night's sleep and wake up feeling great one day. And then, you know, everything's on your door in the morning. And then eventually, like you get to your car and you're in your car and you're driving to school. And all of a sudden, you know, you hear a bing, you know, from the cell phone, maybe there's an email that came in or text saying, Hey, guess what? We got even bigger subs shorter than we expected. You're going to have to do extra work stuff for your stuff, one another and all that. You know how that can like get the heart kind of pumping a little bit and be like, you know, and then you get to school and then two kids in your class for some reason are having a fight already. And you're like, you know, and then like maybe you get an email from an irritated or frustrated parent who's kind of angry. And you're like, you know, so I believe here's the thing now more than ever. I know Erica, right? Now more than ever. I think it's so important that as educators, we have fast ways to downregulate our nervous system that are research based and effective and that allow us to basically instead of like, you know, calm, calm our system down as soon as we experience that so that we can be more centered. And more importantly, that we can do our job with joy and with peace so that it doesn't take too much out of us so that we can give more of ourselves to ourselves and to our loved ones. So the first activity I'm going to give you practice that I want to give you is called heart directed breathing. Okay. And here's how this is going to work. So we are going to I love it. I love that in the chat. What we're going to do is we're going to delve to a mindful posture that is basically your back is straight. Your hands are going to be on your lap and your feet are going to be planted on the floor. Okay. And what we're going to do is we're going to do three things. We're going to slow us down in a moment, but rhythmically breathing. We're going to breathe into the count of four, hold for four and reach out to the count of eight. What that does is stimulate your vagus nerve, which is the longest nerve in your body that connects the gut, the heart and the brain. And as soon as you experience vagal tones in your body, you begin to down-regulate and feel better. So we're going to do that. Then what we're going to do is we're going to bring in our heart. We're actually going to visualize our heart. Okay. And by doing that, and by trying to see our breath with our heart, our heart rate variability becomes smoother and we achieve something called heart coherence. And if you're interested in the research, you can look at HeartMath Institute for that. And then what we're going to do is we're going to bring mine, a picture that makes us happy. Okay. You can be any picture, but I'm going to take you through a specific one. All right. So y'all, here we go. I invite you to get into a mindful body posture. Your back is straight, hands on lap, feet are planted on ground. I'm going to invite you to close your eyes. Ladies and gentlemen, wherever you are in the world now, if you feel a little too tired, please close your eyes. You can kind of keep your eyes open, gaze at the floor. And this technique, we're going to delve into it for about two minutes, but you can certainly do it in 40 seconds. Even 30 seconds throughout your day, anytime you feel a little bit of stress. So I invite you to close your eyes and begin taking some normal breaths in and out through your nose. In a moment, I'm going to invite you to very gently begin to engage in rhythmic breaths. But for now, just take a moment and notice your feet on the floor. Just notice how they feel. That point of contact your feet is making with the floor. Notice the floor is really grounding for you. It's supporting you. It's there for you. Invite you to take a moment and notice how your back feels against your chair. Just really take a moment to give yourself a moment of peace. You know, each and every one of you deserves at the very least a moment of peace every day. So give yourself that moment just right now. And we're going to engage rhythmic breaths. So breathe in, two, three, four, hold, two, three, four, and breathe out, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Breathe in, two, three, four, hold, two, three, four, breathe out, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Breathe in, two, three, four, hold, two, three, four, and breathe out, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Let's do one more, breathe in. Two, three, four, hold, two, three, four and breathe out, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight. Keep your eyes closed. Continuing to breathe slowly, I'd like for you to bring to mind your heart. Visualize the heart for a moment. Imagine it beating for you. It's amazing about the heart. It was good before birth, even. As long as it beats, you live. It's working so hard for you and we don't even know it. See if you can find some attitude for your heart now and imagine the time you take a breath in, oxygen goes directly into your heart. Every time you breathe out, oxygen is coming directly straight from your heart. Let's do about two or three of these breaths together soon. Now I'm going to invite you to take a moment and bring to mind as you breathe slowly. Bring to mind the face of a child that you love. This can be, of course, your own child if you have children. We're in Eastern Africa. It could be a student. If you have multiple kids of your own, choose your favorite. Just kidding. Just choose one. See if you can bring to mind this child's face as they're smiling and laughing. Really see them smile at you as much as you can. Have vivid details of their face. For example, would they ever twinkle in their eye? Would they ever dimple in their cheek with their hair looks like? Really allow that beautiful child to fill you up with joy for a moment. Now when you're ready, what I'm going to invite you to do is I'm going to invite you to come up with an answer to the question I have for you. My question is this. Don't think about it too much. First word that comes to you. As you look into this beautiful child's face, what do you want the most for them in their life? What do you wish the most for them? Just notice what comes up. Now when you're ready, I invite you to take a deep breath in. And whenever you're ready, you may slowly open your eyes. As you open your eyes, just a light to land for a moment. And please, in the chat, if you will, go ahead and put in what came up for you. What word came up for you? Let's put it in right now. Go ahead. So three, two, one, boom. Go ahead and put it in the chat everyone. Peace, happiness, I love it. Yeah, joy, peace, happiness, to be happy, joy, I love it. Look at everything like happiness, laughter, happiness, love. That's so beautiful. Notice that the vast majority of us, look at this, carrying joy, peace in the heart. I love this. It's amazing, you know, I asked this, look at the chat. It's just like blowing up. I asked this to thousands of people all over the world every single year. And it doesn't matter where I am. I could be in South Korea, I could be in India, I could be in Kazakhstan, like all these places I've been to. When I asked this question, the vast majority of adults say that what they want for their student, their kid is happiness. Just happiness, you know, and well-being, some form of that. And by the way, if you didn't say happiness, you're still a wonderful person, all right. But isn't it amazing that that's what we want the most for our kids. And when it comes to school, happiness can kind of get shoved aside sometimes, you know. But we all know that when we give kids and adults, right, the tools to be well, academic achievements only improve. Now, here's the thing though, the research shows that it only works when the adult in the room, when you are able to experience that as well. Well-being, resilience, and can actually model that to the students. And I bet you that if I asked your parents to do the same thing, they would want the same for you. But it's so easy for us as educators to put our well-being all the way to the end because we love to give, give, give. And so my main message to you is this, like when you feel better and we invest in your wellness and your resilience, it's not just about feeling better, you actually become more productive, more creative. Exactly, you cannot give what you don't have. You can actually become more attuned to your students, you become a better teacher, your performance is higher. Okay? And so I'm going to share on the chat one more time the link to all the slides. You can just click on this link and you should be able to get all the slides. Now, what I'm going to do next is I'm going to show you, show you my slides because I want to show you this acronym that I came up with called Ramp. Okay? Now, actually I'll show you my screen. Sorry, not my slide, my screen. And so this acronym basically has five elements to it. Now, I know Ramp is a four-letter word, I get it, but you've got to make it work. Okay? So when you invest in these five elements in your life, okay, you all not only increase your base of happiness, you'll become more resilient and you become a better teacher as well. Now, I'm writing a book about it now, but basically I'll give you the short of it. R stands for relationships. Okay? When we, relationships, the number one predictor of well-being and specifically relationships in which we can have laughter, joy and be vulnerable in. Okay? The more we have that in our life, the better we feel. So relationships. A stands for awareness and advancement. Awareness is about being really present, really being here in the present moment. Let me ask you a question and be honest, okay, as you think about this question. In your mind, how much time do you spend in the past, you know, like ruminating about what happened or worrying about the future as opposed to being really here, really present? Right? Like most of us spend most of our time, you know, in the past and future as opposed to being here. And here is where life is lived. You know what I mean? This is, and there's a lot of research to show when you're more present, you're happier. Share a funny, quick anecdote. About two years ago, I get home. My daughter sees me. She's like, Hey Abba, she calls me Abba in Israeli. She's like, Hey Abba, let's go play Legos with built Stegosaurus out of Legos. And I'm like, All right, cool. So I sit on the rug and I don't know about you all, but Legos kind of bore me to death. Okay. But I sit down and I'm like, it's my daughter. I want to play with her. So I start playing Legos. Okay. And as soon as I start playing, my mom goes into, Hey, where's my next workshop? Did my assistant book this flight? Do we have this zoom thing set up? And immediately my daughter looks at me. She's seven at the time. She looks at me. She's like, Abba. And I'm like, what? She's like, Stegosaurus. Okay. Like they know, you know what I'm saying? They know when we're not here. And I don't know about you. I don't have a lot of time with my daughter. And when I want to be with her, I want to be with her. So it's about being pregnant. Okay. A also stands for advancement. So it's personal growth, being a lifelong learning. The fact that you're here shows that you care about that. So good for you. M stands for meaning, being really connected to our purpose. And not just saying, I'm here. Of course we're all here for the kids. But what's your story underneath that? Okay. And then P stands for positive emotions. Having a three to one ratio of positive emotions to negative emotions. Most Americans are at a one to one or two to one. We really thrive when we're at a three to one ratio. Now most people say, well, of course, running for feel more positive emotions. I'm just going to, I'm going to feel better. That's just common sense. But if you notice, you notice how common sense isn't very common. Like how many of us actually put in your practices to allow us to fill that. You know. And so the more we intentionally do that, the more this ratio goes up, the better we feel. Now the ratio is also not three to zero, which means that we absolutely need to experience difficult emotions in our lives and allow it to just come without trying to repress them. Because remember this, whatever you resist, persist. It becomes bigger. Whatever you name, you begin to tame. And we're actually going to delve into that a little bit later on. Okay. But there is a concept called emotional resonance. That if you experience it with others, also for yourself, but with others, especially with your students. Okay. You actually experience more ramp altogether. And then you just ramp up your life. And you feel better and more connected to others. Emotional resonance is when we are limbically connected to others, meaning the emotional reasoning part of the brain is connected to other people. We feel in connection. It's not about, it's not cognitive so much. It's just a feeling of like, I feel good to be with you. And I feel like I belong and I'm connected. Now there's a lot of ways to experience emotional resonance for us in the classroom. For example, if you inspire your kids, that's resonant. If you, you know, the aha moments, those are moments of resonance. If you challenged them, but they really feel like you care, that can also be. If you really sit with them and listen to them, really listen to them and listen to the emotions underneath. That's a resonant moment. But it turns out the fastest way to experience emotional resonance with anyone is through laughter. And I believe that in the classroom, the more we play, the more laughter there is. The truth is, is that when people play together, people work and learn better together. Okay. So what I'd like to do with you in a moment is I want to actually, instead of just talking about play, let's play. Okay. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you my camera real quick. I'm going to show you a game. We're going to play this together. Now here's the thing, y'all. Okay. I told you, more energy gives this the more you're going to get. I'm about to have some fun over here. Enjoy me in having fun and play this game. You all ready? Here we go. So, yeah. So, and I'm seeing, so I'll just go through it real quick. Cause I'm seeing people in the chat being like, what is R? What is grant? R is relationships. A is awareness and advancement. So awareness is presence. Okay. And advancements, personal growth. M stands for meaning. and P stands for positive emotions, and having a three to one ratio of positive emotions to difficult emotions. Okay, awesome. So it looks like some people are ready, so it's awesome, I hope all of you are. We're gonna play a game called the Signature Game, folks. Now, here's what I want you to imagine, okay? I want you to imagine for a moment that you are an amazing artist, which you probably are, I guess. And you're asked to draw a painting, okay? And so you draw a little painting, and people love it so much, they're like, hey, could we get your autograph? You do that. And so like, pretend for a moment that your finger is a pen, and then do your autograph. Now, do your autograph with pizzazz, all right? You're gonna be like, I'm amazing, I'm an amazing artist, so I'm gonna do my autograph with some pizzazz. So here's mine, boom, okay, Ronnie at the end of the night, okay? So on three, two, one, we're all gonna do it together. Y'all ready, here we go, three, two, one, do your autograph, boom, beautiful. Now, your career just took off, and people want you to draw bigger paintings, and now you have a brush, so they want you to do your autograph with a brush. So take out your brush, it's your whole arm, all right? Y'all ready, three, two, one, let's do it together. Here we go, here's mine, boom, okay, cool. Now, they want you to draw a mural, and they're like, yo, we love the mural, but we love your autograph even more. So will you do your autograph with both brushes, two brushes, and you're like, sure, I'll do it with two brushes. Are y'all ready to do it with me? Here we go, two brushes, our signature, three, two, one, boom, okay, very good. Now, what we're gonna do, here's the thing, you're completely are taking off, and people are like, yo, we love the drawings, but what we love even more is your signature, okay? And so, could you do your signature this new, really fascinating way? And you're like, sure, do it, and what is your idea? You're gonna do your signature in a moment. We're all gonna do it together. We're gonna stand up, we're gonna do our signature with our hands, and legs, and our hips, and we're gonna look amazing doing it. Brenda, I love it, are y'all ready? Here we go, let's do it all together. Just follow him as far as you can go. So, my head's cut off for a moment. Okay, we're all good together. Three, two, one, here we go. Do your signatures, that's mine. Very good, very good. Now, here's the thing, stay standing. What we're gonna do, stand standing, hands and legs and hips, I'm gonna play some music, all right?

Then we're gonna do our signatures a little bit more. And then we're gonna clap it out, and then we're gonna have a seat. We're gonna have some fun. I want you to just have an amazing amount of time doing this. Let's be kids a little bit. Let's just do it. By the way, kids love it in the classroom. I would recommend doing it with them.

I love it, now I want you to know something. First of all, thank y'all for dancing with me, I appreciate that. Ladies, you look great. And I bet everyone around the world looked great doing this. I wanna tell you what just happened though, and this is important, okay? Brooke, I love it. So what just happened is each and every one of us who danced and moved our booty, moved our body a little bit, experienced a dose of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins, all hormones that make you feel good. And yes, kids love it, they will have this when you do this with them, and they'll love dancing to any song, okay? And what's amazing about it is when we feel these hormones rushing through us, when we dance with others, we feel like we belong, okay? And what people want the most in life is to feel seen and to feel like they belong. Now, I wanna just share with you that there are hundreds of these games, okay? And what I wanna do real quick, so I'm gonna share my, I wanna do this for a moment. You're gonna put this in the chat so y'all can have a link that takes you to, yeah, it takes you to a bunch of other games, okay? So you can click on that and do this with your students. Now, here's the thing, go ahead and do this with me. Put your hand up like that. I'll show you something that came from Daniel Siegel, who's a neurobiologist, okay? And Daniel Siegel basically has this handy model of the brain, which is your hand. Imagine that this is the brain stem. It's the part of your brain that allows you to, you know, like breathe in and just scale back. This, the palm of your hands in the limbic system, emotional reasoning part of the brain. And if you put your finger over it, that can represent the amygdala, okay? And the amygdala is the organ in your body that puts you into fight, flight, or freeze, okay? Now, if you put your fingers over it, okay? That, your fingers can represent your neocortex, okay? And if you look at your fingertips, your fingertips are the prefrontal cortex. Now, prefrontal cortex is where we want to be when we learn and when we teach and to be empathic and all of that. This is exactly where we want our students to be, okay? Now, when a person, certainly a kid, feel like they don't belong, they flip their, you with me? And if they flip their lid, it actually does not matter at all whether your lesson is amazing or creative, you can have the most incredible lesson ever. But if a student's lid is flipped because they feel like they don't belong, and by the way, it could be for any reason that has nothing to do with you. Like the student might think they're, everyone's the smarter than they are, right? But they look different or whatever. And so if that happens, no learning takes place. And so the first thing we need to do, we need to bring the lid back down and then teach. Now, what brings the lid back down is connection and it's joy and it's being present, right? And so a little game like that, because you think about this, a little game like that allows everyone to be here in the present moment better and feel like they belong. Think about your kids are coming to you from different places. One kid just played video game for three hours, another kid rent a school without having breakfast, another kid just saw their parents fight. You know what I'm saying? They come from different places. So when we take a moment and play a quick game to infuse joy and resonance, the lids are down, and actually they're a lot more ready to learn. I'll share one more thing with you. Barbara Fredrickson, University of North Carolina, she's a psychologist there. She found that when people are elicited with positive emotions like that, they're more creative, they're more collaborative and they want to learn more things. Now, I don't know about you all, but that's exactly where I want my students to be before I delve into anything that I want to teach. So I want to show you a couple more things that build resonance straight up that are very, very simple to do. And I'm gonna share my screen with you and share my slide. Okay, so go through these pretty quick because we're like pretty short on time and I wanna do things here. So first thing, great students who like contact at the door. I'm sure you probably have heard of this one before, but I'm just gonna say this, we're great at this on the first few days of school, but once you agree that after like a third, fourth day, kind of like it's easy like you can have the routine. If you can, as much as possible, and I work with thousands of educators, I know it's hard to do, but see if you can challenge yourself to every day and in the morning, greet your students without contact at the door, or every class, you know, as they come in, because here's the thing, when you look at them in the eyes, it sends them a message, I'm not a number. Like my adult sees me, I'm not a number. And that nanosecond of eye contact makes all the difference, all the difference. So next thing, take roll with one through 10. I wouldn't do it on the first day of class, but maybe three weeks into the class after you established a bit of a safe space, go ahead and take roll, right? And say president or here, instead of saying president or here, have them give you a number between one and 10 on how they're doing today. That is such a powerful thing because, let's say you take a roll, right? And Tommy's like nine, John's like eight, and Sue all of a sudden says she's a two. Well, if Sue says she's a two, there's a lot of information. First, you create a safe enough space for Sue to admit that she's a two. Also, it tells you that, look, when students are on students, not no longer direct instructions, you're gonna check into a two, of course, see what's going on. But here's what's really beautiful. If you do this consistently, what you'll see is that Sally starts to check in on Sue before you even get to Sue. And another student checks in with that. And then the coolest thing is that Tommy in the back row is seeing that Sally is checking in with Sue. So empathy is modeled and all you did was take roll. Super powerful, okay? Highly recommend it. Next one is what went well. Okay, so WWL distance for not World Wide Web, but what went well. And the idea is to basically students come in in the beginning of class, beginning of the day, and you basically ask them, hey, the last 24 hours, what went well for you? That's huge because it flips the script. Usually most people, most of the time, think about what is not going well for them. And immediately that's like, oh, let's think about simple things. Did you get a workout in? Did you play a fun game? Did you eat something yummy? Did you go on a nice walk? Whatever it is, do you know what I mean? Like ask them what went well, but followed up with three really important questions. And the first question is why did it happen? Why did it happen? The second question is meaningful was it for you that it happened? And the third question is how can you have more of that in your life? Now it's a very classic positive psychology intervention. And that first question, follow up question of why did it happen is the most powerful one because most of the time adults and certainly kids think that good things happen to them by chance. It's like, oh, this is going to be a good day. Maybe, we'll see, maybe not, we'll see how it turns out. But it turns out that we make good things happen to us. Right, we make good things happen in our lives. And if you were to do this exercise yourself, you'll see, you ask that question, you're like, oh, I actually took an active role in making something good happen. And what that teaches kids is this sense of inner locus of control. They feel like they have more control over their life. Even though they're kids, so they don't have full control over their life, they will recognize that they have more control over their wellbeing than they even thought, which is huge. Quick, funny, quick aside, I did this with my students. I asked the point where I was like, hey, what went well for you? And one of the kids, the boys was like, what went well for me was I scored better on my math quiz than I usually do. That's cool. And I was like, great, why did it happen? And the kid took a moment and was like, oh, it's because I studied more for this quiz. And in my mind, I'm like, no shit, like that's, but in the kids, it was like, it was an epiphany. It was like this like moment of like, oh, if I study more, I do better, with huge learning opportunity, right? Two times 10 stands for baby, particularly if you worry about a student. There's a student that you're concerned about. For the next 10 days, you're gonna spend two minutes with this challenge, just checking in with them. Now, if you don't have two minutes, you have one minute. If you don't have one minute, you have 30 seconds. What that stuff, even if you have, yeah, 30, let's say 30 seconds is the minimum, but here's the key, you want to be consistent with it. So for the next 10 days, you're gonna spend those 30 seconds with them and not lose one day of it. Here's why. The consistency is really important here. And the reason for it is because there is a very powerful research study that showed that when kids know that one adult in their life cares about them, their risk of maladaptive behavior goes down by 60%, which is astounding to me. So basically the message you're sending this kid is, yo, you're on my radar and I, you're not off it because I'm checking in with you every single day. Nope, didn't forget about you. I see you. And that's huge. And I have to tell you, sometimes I lay in bed at night, late at night, and I wonder sometimes I'm like, hey, if I did this with my student, I mean, would the tragedy have happened? Maybe it would have, I don't know, but I do know that this has been very helpful to my other students as well. So, and then the last thing you could do that's very easy to do to establish emotional resonance is to show funny clip, you know, that's appropriate for the kids, you know, like maybe even the one I'm showing you right now. All right, it goes on forever, okay? But this kid is so freaking cute. It just makes you laugh, you know, it just makes, you cannot look at this baby and be like, you know what I mean? And again, it's about bringing joy into the classroom, right? Because those things you learn, I love this quote, those things you learn without joy, you will forget easily. I want you to think about this, like let's be honest with ourselves for a moment, okay? What was your favorite class in the school? Like when you were a kid, why was it your favorite class? Was it because of the subject or because of the teacher? Or maybe the kids who were in the class, right? It's the relationships that make us love the class. The environment makes us love what we do, right? The sense of feeling seen and the sense of feeling joyful. And it's interesting in California, there's the CSTPs, which is like the California teaching standards, every state has them, every country has them around the world, right? And in Finland, it turns out that in their standards, when you look at their teaching standards, there's actually a standard that says, is there joy in the classroom? They look for it, which makes a lot of sense to me. And so as much as you can infuse it for yourself and for kids, it makes teaching easier and more fun. Okay, I want to tell for a moment to do a practice on gratitude, because gratitude is another way to really, like not only increase our base for happiness, but then when we share our gratitudes with one another, then we, even by the way through a chat, like we're about to do, that alone can create resonance as well. But if you do it in the classroom with students and they share their gratitudes, you'll see it's just like it just bonds people right away. So I want to do something with you all real quick. I'm going to stop sharing my screen for a moment so you can see me for a sec, because I'm so gorgeous. All right, no, I'm just kidding. But I want you to do, like here's what we'll do. We're going to delve into a gratitude exercise. And I just want you to know that the reason that we do it is because when you're grateful, you cannot be afraid. When you're grateful, you cannot be fearful. When you're grateful, you cannot be angry. And that gratitude is one of the things that allow us to really powerfully physiologic shift, okay? And actually there's also a lot of research to show that it can actually increase our base level of happiness. If we journal, write in our journal, three things we feel grateful for, okay? And if we do that consistently for a period of I think it's two weeks or more, we actually it's easier for us to find other things we're grateful for. And we begin to appreciate more and more of the good in our life. And here's the thing, the more you appreciate the good in your life, the more the good appreciates. More good things begin to happen to you. And so I want to do this with you all if you don't mind, go ahead and get into a mindful body posture with me again. And I'm gonna invite you to kind of put both your hands, you know, again on that feet on the floor. I invite you to close your eyes and I invite you to take a moment and sink into a breath that allows you to feel more at peace and bring to mind the face of a person who you love and you can feel so deeply grateful in your personal life. And I wanna ask you something, why do you feel grateful for them? What about them makes you feel really good? What's unique about them? You know, we take our loved ones for granted and right now, more than ever, they should not be taken for granted. We should love them and express our love for them. So I invite you to take a moment and recognize how lucky you are to have this person in your life, take a deep breath in and sink into that gratitude and bring joy into you. Let that gratitude seep through your purse, through your tendons, through your muscles, into your heart and allow it to just feel good. And you know, it doesn't have to be a big thing. Maybe the person who saw that you the other day, you know, maybe they laughed you or maybe it is a big thing. Maybe they're the reason you're here. They believe in you, they love you every day. Just let the gratitude fill you up with joy for this person. And just stay with it for a moment. Just stay with it for a moment, taking a deep breath in. I invite you to take a moment, find this person. Maybe it's your mom, maybe it's your dad, maybe it's your partner, your lover, maybe it's a wife, husband, maybe it's your child. And just take a moment and in your mind, envision giving him a big hug. Just giving him a big hug, bringing him close to you and just loving them up. We all can use a lot more love right now in the world. They could use that, you can use that, we can all use that. So allow that hug to just fill you up with just joy and happiness right now. As you feel into it, I invite you to just smile a little bit. Knowing how good life is for you. And for everyone who comes in contact with you, because you shine light. When you're in great, you're in gratitude, you just shine light. I love what I'm saying in the chat already. So I invite you to take a deep breath in. Whenever you're ready, you're very gently and slowly open your eyes. Ah, good. Feels so good. Feels so good to just go through this together. And what I'm gonna invite you to do right now is if you will, if you're willing to, please, please put in the chat right now who you feel grateful for, who came up for you and why and how good that feels for you. And I love that people already shared. But go ahead and do that. I love that, Twina, unconditional love, good bed and different, always no matter what. I love that. Go ahead and share who came up for you and why. You know, and how does that make you feel in your heart right now as you know that this person is there for you? I love that. My mom, my sister, my dad, my man, I love that grateful for life, love and family. Ah, this is beautiful. I love this. Very good. Look at the chat just blowing up with goodness. I love it. So keep putting stuff in the chat, okay? Keep putting it in. I wanna tell you, I did this in my classroom once. And what's amazing about this is that, look at that. Look at how beautiful this chat. It's just emotional resonance from the chat right now, boom. But in the classroom, you know, I did this and students basically, they write down three things they feel grateful for. Then I tell them to create our gratitude coin they do. And once you create the gratitude circle, each person shares, and you know what's amazing is that it gives you a window into people's lives, right? Like Stephanie's sharing, my husband brings me joy every day, you know? And you know, for my students, you know, initially at first it was like, I'm grateful for my Xbox, I'm grateful for my Wii, I'm grateful for whatever, you know what I mean? But eventually when you give them enough direction, you're like, hey, who is someone you feel grateful for? What are you grateful for, you know, about in your home or about your body? What's amazing is, you know, they come up with amazing things. And one of my students shared one morning that she was grateful that she had food this morning. Now, Susan Palo Alto is a very affluent place, two of the boys didn't get it, they're like, oh, you always forget to eat my breakfast, I'm always hungry, and the girl was like, no, like, I'm grateful that I had food this morning in my fridge. Yeah, and it was a huge moment of empathy for these boys and respect to that. We were, this is the year of my, I had in my classroom for four months and I had no idea she was dealing with food insecurities in Palo Alto, out of all places in the world. And she was, and so these moments, these little moments, right, exactly, these little moments get us into connecting with one another and to seeing one another fully. It makes it so much easier to teach after, you know, I have to tell you, I put these two boys with this girl in a project and it was just, it just flew, you know, because of the respect that one another. All these things that we're doing, okay, they bring the lid back down, all the things that we've been doing so far today, but also they allow us to be more mindful and more here. Now, I want to do something with you all real quick, because I think in life, we can do things in one of two ways. We can do things mindlessly, or we can do things mindfully. You're with me? Mindlessly or mindfully? Now, I don't think there's much in between. And I think most of the time we're mindless. Now, I want to do something with you all real quick, okay? Just to prove my point to you, I'm going to show you a magic trick, okay? I'm going to share my screen with you. I'm going to show you some numbers, okay? And if you didn't look through all the slides yet, play along with me from it. What we're going to do is you're going to add these numbers out loud in your own room with me. And at the end, I want you to put the answer that you came up with in the chat right away and press Enter. Like the first person who gets it, awesome. But see if you get like as many of us just put your answer right in the chat, okay? So here, let's do this. I'm going to share my screen and here we go. Okay, so do this with me. You're going to add these numbers out loud. And then at the end, put your answer in the chat right away, okay? So here we go. 1,000, 1,040, 2,040, 2,070, 3,070, 3,090, 4,090. And okay, go ahead and put your answer in the chat right now. Go for it quick. And yeah, let's see the answers. Yeah, 5,000, totally 5,000, 5,000. Look at that, most people, yeah, exactly 5,000. The vast majority of us are saying 5,000. I love it, absolutely, totally. And you know what? If you said 5,000, I just want you to know you're totally normal, okay? Notice most of us say 5,000. But the truth is, is that if you said 5,000, unfortunately you were also wrong because 4,090 plus 10 is 4,100. Some of us said 4,100, you know what I mean? But very few of us compared to the 5,000. Now when you do it in person with the kids, with the students, if you try this out with them, you'll see all of them will say 5,000. Now here's the thing. If you said 5,000 and you're a math teacher, don't yourself up, most of the time the math teachers are like, oh, shit, I messed this one up. But here's the thing, this is just a little trick. Okay, I told you it's a magic trick. Mindlessness is not a lack of knowledge. You're with me? Meaning that we all know 4,090 plus 10 is 4,100, right? But what ended up happening here is that we followed a number pattern mindlessly, okay? And the thing is, is that when you're mindless, you're often wrong, but never in doubt. I'm gonna say this again. When you're mindless, you're often wrong, but never in doubt. How many of you got 5,000 and you're like, for sure it's 5,000, everyone says 5,000. And then you see the answer and you're like, oh, shit, no, that's, you know, kind of like. And to me, what's amazing about this is that, look, this is just a little math thing, not a big deal, but the important part to understand here is that in life, when we're mindless, our mind ends up going on this virtual reality trends, believing certain beliefs that end up causing us more suffering than necessary, okay? And it's because that's just what our brain does. That's how we are as humans. We just go into these trends as thinking about the future, worrying about the past, worrying about what's around the next corner, constantly being a little bit with some anxiety. That happens to a lot of us. Now, here's what I'll say. Any difficult emotions absolutely should be welcomed. There's nothing wrong with them. It's okay to bring that in, but we need to be able to really take a moment and be honest with ourselves as to how much awareness do we have, mindfulness, you could say, awareness, about what is actually happening right now in our brain? And the reason for that is because you see our brain, man, it's such a fascinating organ, but there's two things that you need to know about it. The first is that it has a negativity bias, right? Like you give your students 30 evaluations at the end of the year, and 28 of them come up amazing. They love you. They're like, this is the best picture ever. Two of them are not the best. Which ones do you focus on, right? We focus on the two that are not the best. Why? Because we have a negativity bias because our brains are not made. They're not designed to make us happy. They're designed to make us survive. And so we need to very intentionally and consciously build more positive emotions into our lives by positive practices, but also noticing, just noticing like, hey, is what I'm worrying about right now? Is what I'm anxious about right now? Is it real? Is it true? Do I have to actually take a moment? Do I have to go into that right now? Can I just take a deep breath and land and be here and realize that any stimulus that happens to me, it doesn't matter what it is. It could be like a student misbehaving in class. It could be your partner rolling their eyes at you. It could be a nasty email from a parent, whatever it is, between any stimulus that happens and your response to that stimulus, there is a space, okay? Victor Frankel said that. And in that space lies our power and our growth to choose how we're gonna respond to it. But here's something that's really, really critical for y'all to get and understand. And our time is almost up, but I wanna do one important thing before we end and maybe do some Q and A's. But you have to understand that the brain not only is it designed to make us survive and so happy that it's a negative device, it also has this thing in it called that I call the inner critic. Do you know what I'm talking about? That voice that tells you that you're never enough, no matter what, I call it also like the itty-bitty shitty committee. Do you know what I'm saying? Right, that voice that basically is like, no matter what you do, like the message is like, all your colleagues work harder than you. Or like you're not good enough in this way or you're not inspiring enough for your students or that like, let's say everything's hunky-dory at work and all of a sudden this voice is like, you're doing great at work but you could really be a better mother, right? That stuff kind of happens all the time. And the truth is folks is that this part of our brain feeds us to something called cognitive distortions. It's actually distorting our reality and feeding us wrong thoughts that make us feel bad. And so what's key is to be able to basically go to your inner critic, have an awareness. This is happening. Go to the inner critic and say, hey, inner critic, listen up. I know you're here to try to protect me. Okay, that's right, it's exhausting. And really we don't have to play into it, right? You can basically be like, listen, I get it. You're here to try to protect me, inner critic. I'm gonna give you a hug now and you're gonna go to the back seat because I get to drive this car, right? And when we do that, we can feel a lot more peace and more relaxed. Now, I'd like to try something with you all right now. Rira, I love that you're here. I love South Korea. I support some schools there, it's great. So I want you to think for a moment right now about a thought that your inner critic feeds you sometimes. So like in one way or another, a thought that tells you that you're not enough. We all have them by the way. So like you definitely are not like special if you have it. Give you an example for me, you know, like very often like my inner critic comes in and they're like, oh, you should be, you're not a present enough dad, you know, because you travel a lot for work or do this, you know, all that stuff. And it's like, that's bullshit. I actually am very much a present dad and I am a pretty damn good dad. Now I'm not a perfect dad. No one is a perfect dad. I can be better, of course, but I'm not going to buy into the bullshit with me. And sometimes you see these beliefs, they keep us small and they're heavy. They don't allow for your light to shine fully. So I'm going to invite you for a moment. Take a moment and think of a thought that your inner critic feeds you. And go ahead and get into a mindful body posture with me for a moment. Close your eyes. And as you close your eyes, I'm going to invite you right now to face your inner critic, however it looks and to basically tell the center critic, hey, okay, I've heard this over and over from you. But you know what, inner critic, I'm going to choose not to believe this right now. I'm actually going to choose to believe something else. And I know you're trying to protect me. So I'm going to give you a hug and you can relax with me and you can go to the back seat. And what I'm going to choose to believe is the opposite of that belief. Now, do me a favor, even if it doesn't feel totally true to you, do this for a moment, okay? Do this for a moment. Take a moment and believe the opposite of that belief. So for example, if it's I'm not an inspiring enough teacher, the opposite belief is I absolutely am an inspiring enough teacher. I'm not a good enough, you know, mother. No, I absolutely am 100% a good enough. You know, I don't work hard enough as a colleague. No, like when I put my best into it, I work hard enough. The bottom line is this, I'm enough, no matter what. And my best is good enough. And I really take a moment and sink into that and actually believe it because when you do, what you're going to notice is that belief is going to start to shift your physiology and you're going to start to notice that your body literally feels lighter. It's nice, it's easier to be in the world knowing that you don't have to prove yourself. It's okay, you're enough and you absolutely should be loved for who you are, no matter what, not what you accomplish, not for how many kids you teach, not for any of that, simply because you are. And I invite you to take a moment and with me, you can even have your eyes closed. I invite you to bring in a really loving, compassionate energy to yourself and to basically tell yourself, I'm here for you no matter what. I'm always here for you. We're going to get through this together no matter what. Even if I'm a little afraid and have some anxiety around my class this year, I'm here for you, we're going to move through this together. We're going to move through this together. I'm never leaving you, never. I'm always here and you are enough. You're more than enough no matter what because that's the truth. That is the truth. And so I invite you to sit for a moment, just sit with it. It's time to put yourself into love yourself up. You deserve it. Because when you're at your best, you give the best. I love what I'm saying, which I have too. I'm going to take about another 30 seconds just to sit with that and to feel it. We need to take these moments to pause. We rush too much in life. And sure, there's always room for self-agreement. But there's ways to do it from a really gentle, self-compassionate way. That leads to more improvement anyways. Yeah. So go ahead and take a deep breath in with me. Ah, beautiful. And whenever you're ready, you very slowly open your eyes and take a moment to just love yourself up. Give yourself a hug even. Mahalo, Claire, I love it. Ah, thank you so much for what I'm seeing in the chat. Listen, before we end this, I just want to say a couple of things. The first, it's been such an honor to be with all of you today. And such a joy for me. This is such a special opportunity that so many people from all of the world could come together and do this work together. Because this is the work, y'all. The inner game, the personal development work is really the deeper work that we all need to do in order to show up as our best self for ourselves, for our kids and for our loved ones. So I just want to say that if you, I would absolutely love to continue this journey with you and with your school, wherever you are. I speak all over the world as I shared with you earlier. If you want to be in touch with me, I put all of the information in the chat right now. My email, you can go to my calendar link and you can just schedule a time with me. We can chat and we can see how many support your school. You can even just go to EQ Schools and click on Let's Talk. So, and you can also, in the slides, you will see that there's a slide with my quick information. But again, if you want to be in contact with me, EQSchools.com, click on Let's Talk and we'll do that. And again, I'll put it in the chat again. I'll end with one thing. I'll end by saying, may you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be at peace. And may the work that you do come back and pay you a thousand-fold in the form of connection, joy, and abundance. It's been such an honor and a pleasure to be with you all. I'm sending you a big whoosh, three, two, one, and it whoosh, and thanks again, wonderful day. Yeah. So much, Ronnie. That was absolutely amazing. I mean, I needed this just like you all needed this as well. It really resonated when you said, when you are the best, you give the best. So really pushing away all of those negative thoughts from your inner critic, that was amazing. Thank you so much for joining us. I do want to share with you or let you know that Ronnie has curated an amazing handout for you with various mindset tools that will support you in maintaining your own well-being so that you can create a classroom environment really that supports happy students who are creative, collaborative, productive, and resilient. So again, you will find the link to this handout in the chat. And we do have one goal for you before you leave us today. We really hope that you leave this webinar ready to prioritize your own well-being and your positivity and your happiness. Ronnie has given you a variety of strategies and mindset tools in this webinar. He's leaving you with a handful as well to help you create and maintain a happy and healthy learning environment. We do have about maybe a couple more minutes just for some quick, quick questions. If we have, I think we have just a couple of questions. Ronnie, do you have a breakdown for the one through 10? Yeah, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean by breakdown, but basically I'll break it down a little bit more for you. So the idea is that, yeah, absolutely. So for me, it's feelings, right? The one through 10 is feelings. So it's like, hey, how are you doing today? How are you feeling today on a scale of one to 10? And one is usually awful. 10 is amazing, life's incredible. And really, you kind of leave it at that without having them kind of get into too much explanations or anything just like, because it just sends a signal, like, hey, this is where everyone's at, you know? And it kind of lets people know, oh, I need to, I should check in on her or and then tells you to gives you some information. So I hope that makes it a little clearer. Thank you for explaining that. We'll take one more question and then we'll go ahead and wrap up. The improv game. Do you feel like it takes a couple of times for some classes to adapt? Yeah, that's a great question. I love that. You, Mari, that's an awesome question. So I'll just share real quick. I was actually afraid to do these at first with my students because I was like, I'm worried that hate it, you know? They freaking love them, okay? And they actually love mindfulness practices and gratitude circles too. But it's one of those things that's interesting. I find that if you click on that link that I shared with you, I'll put it in the chat again. That link, what it does is that it gives you improv games that are kind of, that build up in vulnerability. Like the basic, so I start with a game that's called path to clap that like, sort of like it's really easy to do and that, you know, doesn't require too much vulnerability and then like, kind of like builds up and builds up. And so yes, Mari, it does take a little bit of time for the class to adapt, but because it's a game, because it's games, it doesn't take long that long. You know, it's like one or two times and then they're like bought in fully. In fact, I found that basically kids were so into it that they like, essentially it took one game and kids were like in it and basically expected it almost every day, you know? And it made a huge difference for my teaching and learning. Well, thank you for answering those questions. And if there are any questions that we didn't get to, we will make sure that we reach out to you after this webinar. We do want to thank you again, Arani for joining us.
