Week 2, Day 2

We started our day today with a quick review of our positive talk, and then dug right into our first activity...letters from Siren!  The girls wrote a letter to themselves as if they were Siren (the one who sends us negative messages). 

They had a bit too much fun with this...but...after we let them share some of the messages they got to destroy those negative letters.  They shred them to pieces and then threw all of those negative thoughts into the trash...whew!

And then...time to get moving!  We started with some suicide drills...

Then did some stretches...

And then we ran!  The girls ran for 15 minutes today.  They wanted to keep going!  I'm excited for next week when we'll do a full practice (3 mile) run!

To finish out our day the girls wrote a letter to themselves in their journals as Mermaidia would write to them.  This was their chance to demonstrate what they had learned about positive self talk.  We felt much better after this one than the one from Siren!

Thanks girls, see you Sunday!
