Episode 1: Mindfulness Tools for Teens

Self-reflection is a powerful mindfulness exercise that allows us to observe our thoughts, emotions, and actions without judgment. By intentionally taking time to turn our attention inward, we create a space for self-awareness and self-understanding. During this practice, we observe our thoughts as they arise, acknowledging their presence without getting caught up in their content. We also become aware of our emotions, noticing their fluctuations and patterns without becoming entrenched in them. As we observe ourselves, we gain insight into our behaviors and attitudes, enabling us to make conscious choices and cultivate personal growth. Self-reflection serves as a mirror, allowing us to understand ourselves on a deeper level and cultivate a sense of self-compassion, acceptance, and empowerment.
