Good news! Meditation And Mindfulness In Schools

During the pandemic, the CDC endorsed measures that allowed schools to bring meditation exercises into the classroom. And it seems to be of great benefit! We’re seeing lower stress levels, and more ability to focus.

I’ve always been one that wanted to see something like this implemented. I hope that this will have a ripple effect and in the future will see reduces levels of anxiety, depression, bullying, and others.

Our school just gives them an extra recess or two. It’s amazing what a simple break to go play can do for a young mind. They still need to be kids.

My reoccurring complaint when my kids were in school was, not enough breaks. But all the type A parents in my town disagreed. They liked a jam packed over achieving schedule. Idiots.

Both meditation and extra recess are helpful, IMO. The former these days especially since everyone’s on their phones 24/7.
