Slide Deck

Practicing Mindfulness Daily

This slide deck will serve as a visual backup for the guided mindfulness practices. Use this deck to cue breathing techniques, body awareness, and discuss the benefits of mindfulness. Each slide is designed to capture the students' attention and guide them step by step through daily mindfulness exercises.

Focus on Your Breath

Explain how focusing on the breath can help calm the mind and reduce anxiety. Ask students to notice how their body feels when they take slow, deep breaths.

Body Awareness

This slide emphasizes the importance of body awareness during mindfulness exercises. Ask students to silently scan their bodies, noticing any areas of tension or comfort.

Benefits of Daily Mindfulness

Reiterate that these daily mindfulness practices can build resilience and reduce anxiety over time. Invite students to practice at home.
