Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Mindfulness teaches students to focus on the present moment rather than worrying about past mistakes or future pressures.
Regular mindfulness practice can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps reduce the physical symptoms of stress such as tension and rapid heartbeat.
Mindfulness exercises improve focus and concentration. Through exercises, such as focusing on the breath or a specific object, students can improve their concentration.
This can benefit students who struggle with maintaining focus during class.
Mindfulness and meditation help students recognize their emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them which can lead to healthier emotional responses and better decision-making.
Consistent mindfulness practice has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness helps students become more aware of their feelings, which can help them identify what triggers negative emotions.
Meditation teaches students to stay grounded while facing challenges. Resilience is essential for my students, who deal with personal, academic, or social difficulties.
By promoting mindfulness and meditation skills, my students can come to my office to find a quiet space, use a calming puppy to reduce their stress and learn how to stay focused, calm themselves and be the best versions of themselves.
These skills extend beyond academics, helping them navigate the challenges of high school and beyond with greater ease and confidence.
