Mindfulness for Teens

Mindfulness helps you stay calm, focused, and present. Here’s how to get started.

1. What is Mindfulness?

It’s paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It can help reduce stress and improve your mood.

Deep Breathing: Inhale slowly for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat a few times.
Body Scan: Close your eyes and notice how each part of your body feels, from head to toe.
Mindful Walking: Focus on the sensation of your feet touching the ground as you walk.

Try a few minutes each day. Apps like Calm or Headspace can guide you.

Mindfulness is a skill. The more you practice, the easier it gets!
