Mindfulness is the practice of focusing attention to just that—the present moment—and accepting it for all that it is, without judgment. Mindfulness and meditation can improve well-being, physical health, and mental health. Since summer is the perfect time for teachers to take a moment to slow down, here are some tools to keep mindfulness and meditation at your fingertips.
