WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?

Mindfulness means paying full attention to something. It means slowing down to really notice what you’re doing. Being mindful is the opposite of rushing or multitasking. When you’re mindful, you’re taking your time. You’re focusing in a relaxed, easy way.

HOW MINDFULNESS WORKS?

Mindfulness takes practice to get good at it.  Training the mind takes practice. The more you practice, the better you get.  Learning how to be mindful when you’re young gives you a change to get really good at it and use it always.

When you practice Mindfulness, you are training your attention. Research shows that practicing mindfulness can improve attention for just about everybody including with those kids ADHA, or who think they have trouble paying attention.

                               

Anyone Can Practice Mindfulness

  1. Sit in a relaxed, comfortable position. Focus on your breathing.
  2. Breathe normally and simply pay attention to your breath. Close your eyes. As you breathe in and out, just notice each breath. Pay attention in an easy way – on purpose, but not forced.
  3. Notice when your mind wanders away from paying attention to your breath.  That’s your mind wandering and getting distracted. It’s natural, minds do that all the time!
  4. Whenever you notice your attention has wandered, gently remind yourself to pay attention to breathing again. That’s how you train your attention.
  5. Keep breathing, keep relaxing, keep paying easy attention to your breathing.   Keep bringing your attention back to the breathing every time your mind wanders.

    6. Try to do this for 5 minutes.

    That’s it.
