Paying close attention helps us refocus and maintain attention to what is happening around us now. Research on mindfulness tells us that practicing mindfulness has many positive effects on our bodies and brains. Mindfulness improves our resilience and well-being. Why Teach Mindfulness? Today’s youth have a lot of anxiety and stress. Frequently, students are triggered by events causing flight, fight, freeze (stress) reactions impacting self-regulation and ability to cope. Mindfulness practices help youth with their ability to regain a feeling of calm after a stress response. Mindfulness increases our resilience and well-being by improving our immune function (how we fight illness), increasing attention and focus, and helping us self-regulate.
