This lively, hands-on guide to meditation, mindfulness, and yoga is a
perfect introduction for tweens and teens.
Don't just do something, be here.
The key to happiness is being able to find comfort in this moment, here
and now. When you are completely present and not distracted by regrets,
worries, and plans, even for a little while, you begin to feel more
confident and can deal more easily with everything you experience. This
is mindfulness: paying attention to this very moment, on purpose and
without judgment--simply being present with curiosity.
This engaging guide, packed with simple exercises and endearing
full-color artwork, provides a handy starting point for bringing
mindfulness into your daily life. Chapters on meditation, yoga, and
mindful breathing explain the benefits of these practices, and you are
free to pick and choose what to try. There are quick exercises
throughout, and a more extensive tool kit at the end of each chapter.
The final chapter offers satisfying five-day challenges that map out
ways to pull all of the book's mindfulness techniques together in your
day-to-day life.
With the appeal of a workbook or guided journal, and full of examples
relevant to tweens and teens today, this book will be your trusted
companion as you begin the valuable, stress-relieving work of being
still with skill.
