Some kids, children are...
will surprise you.
I taught mindfulness for three years in my son's school as a volunteer when I first started teaching, maybe six or seven years ago.
And they just blew me away.
I taught from preschool up until middle school.
And at every stage,
their ability to connect with themselves internally after even just five minutes of a short practice was unbelievable.
There was a little girl in second or third grade and, um, we were doing a lesson on thoughts and out of the blue within the lesson, she suddenly, and I said, what?
And she said, I'm not making my thoughts.
And she,
I was I mean, I got tears in my eyes right now.
I'm just saying it out loud to be that age and to have this sense that thoughts are actually not very personal to us.
If you pause and if you are in a meditation and you're doing going to really come back to your breath and notice when you have thoughts, you will see very quickly we are not making them.
They are nonsensical.
there's a sign on my refrigerator that says, don't believe everything you think.
Because there's a lot of mayhem and nonsense that goes on in there.
And the earlier we can understand that, this little girl, second or third grade, she's like, I'm not making my thoughts.
It's just unbelievable.
And it's so simple.
It really doesn't take very much.
