Mindfulness Teens
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.
- Here are a few other ways of describing mindfulness:
- “Being present”
- “Awareness”
- “Awakening”
- “Concentration plus attention”
- “Seeing clearly”
- “Compassionate awareness”
- “Open Heartedness”
- “Loving presence”
