I am a certified mindfulness trainer, and an advocate for positive education. While working in Dubai I established the first mindfulness room in the region, and was awarded innovative teacher of the year by the Education Journal Middle East. Since then I have mentored educators internationally to empower, enable, and embed more consistent focus on well-being practices into their daily routines when teaching. I have seen first-hand the pivotal role prioritizing such vital life skills plays in all our lives, especially the formative years of childhood. My intention is to help instill practical, easy to use skills that are geared towards our youth, and to help make OUR cumulative happiness go viral! Together we can make that happen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1641456342305-97DFPFYPKEYEHIUFD13T/Capture.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1641456369059-KQXBLM7SC4GHWOPSKVVA/mindfulness.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1641456411942-T7PFW47HF175MTOBO1ZF/gratitude+tree.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1641457983116-OGP01LBLHGZ3DVH20YB7/blog.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1641459657083-P83W6UDL6B5E9ALKKGA5/kind.JPG Home https://www.rolasshininghearts.com/materials-for-learning daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/9182f7de-2ec9-4eb9-bacc-1dd0b076f034/IMG_0747.jpg Free activities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/db2aca22-f299-4edf-97d3-e1790eae95a7/IMG_4828.JPG Free activities - Make it stand out The gratitude tree from the mindfulness room https://www.rolasshininghearts.com/https/wwwudemycom/course/practical-positive-education-and-mindfulness-for-children/learn/lecture/22735843overview daily 0.75 2021-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1634441202281-YK5GNFXPJWGLR6LRSKEP/character+strengths_Moment.jpg Positive Education and Mindfulness Course Positive Education and Mindfulness Course https://www.rolasshininghearts.com/education-for-teachers daily 0.75 2021-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/f7cf721f-b3f8-45c9-8e82-82431c8a1e75/E29A16C0-4BB7-4CB0-8421-CA495F2AE747.JPG Mindfulfulness Resources - Make it stand out School wide assembly celebrating world happiness day by sharing love and compassion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1635045954927-T6215Q163ZV258FI7154/IMG_8642.JPG Mindfulfulness Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1635046015243-HWEJKZIXQ6U24959EQOU/IMG_0430.JPG Mindfulfulness Resources - Students are the best leaders in teaching mindfulness to their peers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/ad151fdd-eb89-4b41-a28c-15200a038bc7/IMG_0067.JPEG Mindfulfulness Resources - Make it stand out Practicing by leading sessions helps to internalize mindful awareness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/2b76b187-0f76-4196-b5d9-3c479bfc1335/9552fab4-b063-403a-9232-68e921bd1750.jpg Mindfulfulness Resources - Make it stand out Students leading mindfulness session to teachers and administration https://www.rolasshininghearts.com/acts-of-kindness daily 0.75 2021-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/4fe0762c-8acb-4cae-9c06-deadfb84c854/IMG_0537.JPG Acts of kindness - Kindness is contagious! A great way to motivate others is to see constant reminders of random acts of kindness. Interactive boards are great in showcasing and celebrating acts of kindness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1634701050343-DUQJL6MXR8E7G2N640Q1/06A30D1C-CA3A-4FA2-975D-3E034A31D51C.JPG Acts of kindness - Ideas There are a plethora of ways to embed activities linked to this principle. In a school setting, which you could adapt to being at home, ideas include: ● giving free hugs ‘ ● kindness police ● organize campaigns throughout campus on spreading kindness ● leaving surprise notes for those who serve us ● making bracelets, bookmarks, or messages with positive affirmations ● creating buddy benches ● creative greetings . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6160f2e376e7a063eebe6332/1634701180836-9M4SQ7RHTCGCDAPP44ZI/How+full+is+your+bucket.jpg Acts of kindness - Resource Ideas Throughout my teaching experience, one of the fundamental focuses that I endeavor to instill is a culture of kindness and respect. A great resource modeling kindness for young kids is the book “How full is your bucket” by Carol Mc Cloud. It is a fantastic visual of how our words and actions, as well as of those around us can either fill or empty our imaginary “buckets,” symbolic of our emotions. https://www.rolasshininghearts.com/donate daily 0.75 2025-05-09
