Have you tried using Mindful Word as one of your mindful challenges?

Here is how it works:  

1. Think of a word that seems calm or soothing. This could be a word like "peace" or "love" or "peaceful"
2. Think the word to yourself. Say it silently and slowly in your mind. Say your word to yourself with each breath you take, in and out. Keep your attention gently focused on your word.
3. When your mind wanders, guide your attention back to your word, and keep saying it gently and slowly while you relax and breathe.
4. Can you do this for a whole minute?

Homeroom teachers don’t forget to have your students take the statistical research surveys from team Artemis this morning during extended homeroom, or some other time throughout the day. The surveys were emailed to you via “Announcements”. Thanks to everyone who participates!
