Mindfulness
In our busy world, our minds and
bodies can get wrapped up in the hustle and
bustle, and may have a hard time slowing
down. It is also easy to get stuck thinking
about things in the past or the future, while
forgetting to focus on the here and now.
The benefits of mindfulness for
children and adults are plentiful, including
decreased stress and increased resilience.
Mindfulness is bringing our attention to our
thoughts and feelings without judgement.
To begin guidance classes this year,
students will be learning about mindfulness
by practicing a quiet moment, deep
breathing techniques, and talking about
how staying in the moment can help us cope
with difficult feelings.
