One of my favs shared this blog and I just had to pass this along. We will be processing so much info as a result of being able to see someone’s whole face! Feeling overwhelmed may be the byproduct. Shared this with our students in #AltEd bc they are becoming brain experts!

Awesome visual of how our “#Mindfulness muscles” grow stronger! Each time we’re aware of our thoughts & return our attention to the present, we increase our brain’s capacity to do so again! #DBTSkills #Mindfulness #StudentSuccess Kate Mahoney ~ CYC 💚 Traci Wright Miguel Guayasamin

Great conversations in H&PE today on using a Diary Card to reflect on and monitor our use of #DBTSkills! #StudentSuccess #AlternativeEducation Miguel Guayasamin Kate Mahoney ~ CYC 💚 Traci Wright Maria Venditti-Presta
