Mindfulness for Teens! - NEW
Mindfulness for Teens!
In this eight-week training you will learn a specific way of paying attention that kids all around the world have found to help them with their friends, parents, brothers, sisters, enemies, schoolwork, sports, and other activities.
You learn to feel your breath, your body, your thoughts, your feelings in a different way. This way of paying attention is very powerful because when you learn to observe your thoughts and feelings, you can learn to choose what you say and how you act. And choosing your words and actions can make a positive change in your life.
More than twenty-five years of research have proven that mindfulness increases attention and focus, it reduces stress, anxiety, depression, and helps to deal differently with difficult emotions. Mindfulness can support increas in well-being, resilience and joyfulness.
Mindfulness is used by professional athletes, artist, musicians, business people, teachers, healthcare professionals, lawyers, in politics, in schools, and by people like you and I.
