Becoming Self-Aware Through Mindfulness (Grades 9-12)

Mindfulness means focusing on the present. It helps us concentrate and remember things better. It lowers stress and improves sleep. And it can help us manage painful emotions. In this module, we discuss how high schoolers can use mindfulness to become more self-aware and accepting. When you’re more accepting of what mindfulness reveals about yourself, you can usually see the problems in your relationships more clearly.
