Learn About Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practiced ability to be fully present and aware of where we are and what we’re doing, while not becoming over-reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us
Mindfulness involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgment or belief that there is a correct or incorrect way to think or feel. According to research, mindfulness, when practiced in classrooms, reduces behavior problems and aggression among students and improves their happiness levels and ability to pay attention.
