Mindfulness allows us to regulate our attention so that we benefit from positive experiences and limit the effect of worry and destructive experiences. Focusing our thinking on what brings us joy and fulfillment lets our thinking settle on the positive – positive thoughts and positive emotions.

Mindfulness is noticing our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in the present moment. Paying close attention helps us refocus and maintain attention to what is happening around us now. Research on mindfulness tells us that practicing mindfulness has many positive effects on our bodies and brains. Mindfulness improves our resilience and well-being. Why Teach Mindfulness? Today’s youth have a lot of anxiety and stress. Frequently, students are triggered by events causing flight, fight, freeze (stress) reactions impacting self-regulation and ability to cope. Mindfulness practices help youth with their ability to regain a feeling of calm after a stress response. Mindfulness increases our resilience and well-being by improving our immune function (how we fight illness), increasing attention and focus, and helping us self-regulate.

Would you like to help your students set goals? This unit can help you do it! Learning how to set goals and creating an action plan for achieving them is also a key part of cultivating a growth mindset. Growth-mindset goals are uniquely actionable and focus on the small steps of growth. In this unit, students will identify the differences between learning and performance goals, practice setting goals by categories, set and analyze SMART and AMPS goals, engage in backward planning, and experience how little changes in habits can lead to big changes in growth and achievement. I have used these goal-setting worksheets with mid-upper elementary students, and also with middle-schoolers.
