The Happy Little Humans Toolkit: Making This Christmas Magical and Mindful!

The Happy Little Humans Toolkit: Making This Christmas Magical and Mindful! 

Founder of Happy Little Humans Ltd, Tesha Matthew, a qualified teacher and children's mindfulness expert, is passionate about supporting families to create happier and calmer lives. With her guidance, here’s how you can embrace mindfulness to help your family thrive this Christmas:

1. Morning Magic with Affirmations

Start the day with festive affirmations like:

🎄 “I am calm and ready for the day.”

🎄 “I bring joy to others, and joy surrounds me.”

🎄 “I am enough, just as I am.”

Encourage your children to repeat these affirmations while looking in the mirror. It’s a powerful way to boost self-confidence and set a positive tone for the day.

2. Movement and Mindfulness with Yoga
Incorporate gentle, festive-inspired yoga flows:

🧘‍♂️ Reindeer Stretch – A calming child’s pose with "antlers" made by raising hands above the head.

🧘‍♀️ Snowflake Twists – Gentle seated twists to “melt” away stress.

🧘 Christmas Star Pose – A wide-legged stance with arms stretched out like a star, combining balance and focus.
These movements help children release pent-up energy and bring calm to the busy holiday season.

3. Creative Activities to Encourage Presence

Get hands-on with:

🎅 Self-Love Santa Letters – Write letters to Santa listing the things you love about yourself.
✨ Jolly Jars – Fill jars with prompts like “Share a hug” or “Name three things you’re grateful for” and draw one each day.

☕ Hot Chocolate Breathing – Practice slow, deep breaths, imagining blowing on a warm cup of hot chocolate to cool it down.

4. Mindful Tools for Emotional Regulation

Equip your family with tools to handle tricky emotions:

• Breathwork Exercises: Teach “star breathing” by tracing the shape of a star with your finger, breathing in as you go up and out as you go down.
• Calming Sensory Jars: Watch glitter settle in a jar to visualise stress melting away.
• Nighttime Visualisations: Use guided imagery to help children unwind, imagining a cozy sleigh ride under a starry sky.
