Mindfulness
Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening in the present moment. It may be your feelings, hearing, or anything else you notice.
There’s no special place of calm you have to reach, and it’s not about clearing your mind; it’s just an honest and kind look at what you’re experiencing at this moment.
Social Connection
We know that we, as human beings are social creatures. Research shows that social connectedness leads to a 50% increased chance of longevity, strengthens your immune system, helps you recover from disease faster, and may even lengthen your life! For your mental wellness, it is important for you to connect with others - that could be with your friend, teachers, or family.
