Welcome to your ✨Monday Moment✨

Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

🔴 Take a moment to ponder if you could compete in the Olympics, which event would you choose? (Need a full list of possibilities? Head to the Olympics site for some inspiration) Are there any events you think should be added to the Olympics?

🟠 Take a moment to think back to when you were little, did your school have a Sports Day or a version of the Olympics at the end of the school year? What events did you always love?

🟡 Take a moment to ponder the fact that when the Olympics first began in 776 BC there was no need for sponsorship and fancy uniforms as all events were competed naked.

🟢 Take a moment to think about which Olympic events make the most noise? And which are the quietest? Which do you think requires the most equipment and which requires the least?

🔵 Take a moment to take a gold-medal breath. Put your hands flat on the table or a surface in front of you, even if it is just on your thighs. Take a deep breath in, press your hands down against the surface and imagine a golden circle radiating out around each hand. Feel the energy under and around your hands and say to yourself, “I am golden.” Hold the breath and glow for a moment. Exhale completely and as slowly as you can, then relax your hands. Repeat and see the golden circle radiate out again. Do this any time you need a reminder of the strength you have within you to achieve.

🟣 Take a moment to ponder if you were a competing athlete in the Olympics, what song would you play to get you in the zone to bring home the medals?

Take another deep breath. Hold it. Exhale. Smile. The Olympics are one of the few events that bring people from almost every corner of the Earth together. Athletes competing against each other, showcasing different skills and strengths, but all working towards a shared objective. As you go through this week remind yourself that you, and the people around you, are doing the same in life. So, be kind to yourself and others, and go get that gold 🏅
