Visit our website for yoga poses and craft materials to go with this story!Today's story is an adaptation of a classic Zen story about letting go.  In today’s story, Unicorn and Lion go to the fair. They are having an amazing time, but then somebody is really rude to them. They don’t understand why this person was so rude to them and it makes them feel angry and sad. These negative feelings almost ruin their entire day at the fair.But then, Unicorn’s Inner Star Power of Letting Go reminds her to remember the good things that have happened at the fair and to release her negative feelings about the person that was rude to her. She realized that when someone is rude, it’s usually because they feel bad inside, and there is no reason for her to let that ruin a really great day!When we let go of negative feelings and negative experiences, we can pay more attention to the good things in our lives and feel light and free and happy.Today’s Star Power Challenge is to get two pieces of paper. Draw three balloons on each piece of paper.On the first piece of paper, write or draw three memories that make you feel angry or sad. Then… Rip it up and throw it in the trash!!On the second piece of paper, write or draw three memories that make you feel happy. Take some time to remember these happy memories.Now you can spend more time thinking about these happy memories and practice letting go of the ones that make you feel unhappy.You can find us on Facebook at: NamaStar Kids™We'd like to thank Purple Planet Music for their beautiful royalty-free background music.  Check them out at: Purple Planet Music...moreCopy Link
