About this listen

Today is all about mindfulness. What it is, why we use it, and the Mindfulness Skills we'll go over in the next few episodes.

Homework This Week:

-Freshman: start noticing mindfulness generally throughout the week.

-Varsity: write down areas where you could be more mindful. Then, do the JV homework but make sure the alarm goes off when you are typically going to be in one of the areas you wrote down.
