Mindfulness is the practice of focusing our attention on the present moment without judgement. Rather than our minds being full of thoughts (MindFULL), we can focus on being Mindful. By cultivating awareness of thoughts, feelings, sensations and observations of the surrounding environment, mindfulness helps students reduce stress, enhance focus, and develop greater emotional resilience. There are many techniques to tap into mindfulness. I encourage students to explore the many different options and see which practices resonate. These techniques and skills can help students navigate the challenges of everyday life . They are also skills that students can carry with them into adulthood.
