It wasn't part of a program or curriculum but I had a teacher who did mediations in their class around finals. It was nice to be able to stop and breathe for a bit in the middle of our day. It helped my anxiety about finals and other things in my life at the time

My counselor just talked to me about mindfulness last week, and I already feel a difference. I get super anxious when I think of what MIGHT happen and the what ifs. So being mindful helps me to remember that those things are NOT happening and that I should enjoy now. I still have a long way to go, but it really helps and I recommend it :'3

I have practiced mindfulness meditation since July 2017, and I find myself becoming more detached from highschool drama. Because of this, many of my friends call me "weird" but I know that I'm gonna be happier in the long run and they'll miss out on it.

my bio teacher likes to include mindfulness exercises in our lessons :) she's awesome

My science teacher does something called "Pause Practice". I'm pretty sure it's basically some sort of meditation. We spend 3-5 minutes focusing on noises, feeling, etc. as well as the present moment. It helps he has a super soothing voice. We've been doing it a bit less often lately cause school has been more hectic recently, but it's always nice when it does happen every once in a while.

I used mindfulness when I was in DBT and it has been very helpful in my life.

In my experience, mindfulness and meditation have been life changing. I recommend you read the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, it is incredibly helpful for everyone but especially for people who suffer from mental illnessess such as depression and anxiety. Trust me(this book was recommeded to me by a doctor a few years ago), you won't regret it. ❤

Mindfulness was one of the first things I learned from meditation :) and yes it is extreamly helpful for me in school

[sacriscanalcatolico]

I am from Brasil nas I benefit from mindfulness. It has helped me sicne I started practicing in 2018. I intend to help my students to reduce stress and learn better. But I need to exlude Yoga from the text because it has to do with religious practices. It is needed to be scientific only. Thanks a lot for helping us having a better and calmer life.

I discovered this video via Reflective Folio Fixer - there's lots great videos there that may help out

[Blue-qunf]

It's been a long time since I've checked out your videos, your team has really improved! I think I'll try a little mindfulness.

Can you make a video about dealing with moving to another school? Thanks

[neru]

Yeah no such thing at my school. I almost hate all my teachers, and most of my classmates. And frankly, the entire class hates each other. Only when they don't agree on something.

Hey psych2go
I have something to share ...
(*excuse the grammar mistakes*)


I live in Malaysia I'm 16 years old and
I really hate myself. At school everyone keeps judging me because I walk weird ( I can't walk properly since I was 12 and I don't know why). I only have a few friends but they all don't understand me even tho I shared them a video about introvert and social anxiety. There is no wonder because none of them knows English ...
I really hate Malaysia's school system ..I don't go to school so often because I tried to avoid physical education, sport day and school activities ... And you know I just got a second warning a couple weeks ago and I will be expel from school soon ...

Sorry this took you so long to read ..
So what do you think? Should I just go to another school after I get expel and do the same thing again ? .

School in Malaysia start on January and I got second warning this month ..if I get third or fourth warning I will be expel
