Everyday Mindfulness Series
The Everyday Mindfulness series explores how a mindful attitude to life can enhance enjoyment, promote a sense of calm and confidence, and provide young people with skills they can use every day. Mindfulness can help us improve concentration, deal with difficult emotions, sleep better, and even boost our immune systems. Mindfulness practices and exercises are integrated into each story and expanded on in the section for adults at the end of each book. Readers are also invited to “press the pause button” at various points in each story to mindfully reflect on their own present-moment experiences. Also available is a free downloadable leader’s guide for the series with additional information, discussion questions, and activities.
