Olympics were held in order to prepare for war. The Olympics were considered a religious event where the athletes participated to honor Zeus (father of all gods). There 9 games that were Boxing Discus Javelin Racing (200 m, 400 m, 1500 - 1800 m) Equestrian (Chariot) Long jump Pankration Wrestling.Athletes were awarded olive wreaths There were no team sports, meaning everyone competed for themselves The athletes would wrap their hands with leather There was only one winner out of the whole Olympics Cities that had conflict would declare truces as the Olympics was more important that wars. The ancient olympics were a religious festival started in 776 BC, they were held on M.T Olympus and lasted 5 days. There would be a truce one month before the games were held so that the city-states could travel safely to the olympics.

Mindfulness/recfection.

 LI: to practice mindfulness when in stressful situations.

Mindfulness is training your mind to become aware of not only yourself, but also your surroundings. When it comes to mindfulness, there are two zones. The red zone and the green zone. The red zone is all the negative emotions you feel when stressed. The green zone is all of the positive emotions which help you when feeling stressed. For example, when in a stressful situation, you can clear your mind and stay calm. This is when your mind enters the green zone. In the red zone, you feel waves of negativity overcoming your mind. 

When trying to focus, your mind wanders. Although your body can be present, your mind can be wandering around and thinking about the past or future. With mindfulness, you focus on the present moment and what is happening at that moment.

The mindfulness practice helps you clear your mind, focus on your breathing and overall makes you content and composed. To do this activity, we faced away from others to be focused. We had a straight back, soft stomach, closed eyes and our hands on our knees. When the mindfulness bell rang, we calmed ourselves and focused on our breathing. When breathing, you are more focused on you and your surroundings.
