Description
Hi! I’m Jasmine, I’m a regular kid with a regular life just like you, but there’s one tiny…ok, fine, one BIG exception: I practice mindful-ness. Now, I bet you’re wondering, what in the world is mindfulness anyway?
Mindfulness is a kind of superpower we all have, but we might not know how to use it. You already have everything it takes to be mindful. All you need are your senses: sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, and your breath. You can use this power to help you relax and feel better when you feel stressed, anx-ious, angry, or even sad. The best part is, it’s fun! In this book, you’ll read stories about kids just like you who could use some mindfulness to help them calm down or relax in tough situations. My friends Willow, Kayli, Colby, Zeke, and I will be your mindfulness guides and teach you how mindfulness can help you too!
Learn how to use mindfulness everywhere you go, for everything you do, with exercises for:
- MINDFULNESS AT HOME that teach you how to handle yourself in tough situations like when you’re mad because you have to do chores or when you feel ashamed for losing important stuff like your phone
- MINDFULNESS AT SCHOOL that show you what you can do if you feel nervous or scared with bullies, or when you feel over-whelmed with homework
- MINDFULNESS WITH FRIENDS that help you deal with the not-so-nice feeling of being left out or missing someone you care about
