3. Name one physical activity you like to do (e.g., walking, dancing, jumping rope):
Mindful Walking: Take 10 slow steps. Feel your feet touch the ground.
Mindful Stretching: Stretch your arms up slowly, then down. Breathe in and out.

3. Evaluating Learning
OPTION 1:
Mindfulness and physical activity report card.
1. Create a report card describing your mindfulness practice. Give yourself a numeric
grade and some recommendations for improvement.
2. In this report card, evaluate your level of physical activity. Give yourself a numeric
grade and some recommendations for improvement
OPTION 2:
Mindfulness can also be applied at home. Do one of these activities:
1. Awareness while making tea or coffee. Prepare a pot of tea or coffee to serve a guest

2. Awareness while washing the dishes. Wash the dishes consciously, as though each
bowl is an object of contemplation. Consider each bowl sacred. Follow your breath to prevent
your mind from straying. Do not try to hurry to get the job over with. Consider washing the
dishes the most important thing in life.
Processing Questions :
1. How did you feel during the activity?
2. If you practiced mindfulness in doing these activities, how would you feel about doing
these household chores?
3. What other household activities can you do that apply mindfulness?
4. Additional Activities
● You can also show mindfulness by being kind to yourself. This is called loving kindness.
● Loving kindness is a mindfulness practice designed to increase love and compassion first
for ourselves and then for our loved ones, for friends, for those we are angry with, for
difficult people, for enemies, and then for all beings.
● Loving kindness can protect us from developing and holding on to judgmentalness, ill will,
and hostile feelings toward ourselves and others.
● Remember to slowly do the activity and feel each word that you give to yourself.:
● Repeat the script slowly, and focus on the meaning of each word as you say it in your
mind. (If you have distracting thoughts, just notice them as they come and go and gently
bring your mind back to your script.)
● Continue until you feel yourself immersed in loving
kindness.
Processing Questions:
1. How does it feel to be mindful toward yourself?
2. How did you feel while doing the loving kindness exercise to yourself?
3. How did you feel after doing the loving kindness exercise to yourself?
4. How did the loving kindness exercise change the views that you have toward yourself?
Matrix of activities that must be done daily to demonstrate the integration of mindfulness and physical activity.
