Lesson Plan

Mindful Minute Guide

Students will learn and practice two mindfulness techniques—mindful breathing and grounding—to reduce stress and increase focus. By the end, they’ll apply these tools in daily routines to cultivate self-awareness and calm.

Adolescents face rising stress from academics and social life. Quick, in-class mindfulness routines provide them with practical tools to manage anxiety, enhance concentration, and build emotional resilience.
