Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the intentional practice of paying attention in the present moment to become aware of one’s thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. Mindfulness promotes well-being, resiliency, agency, and the enhancement of performance.  

• Mindfulness is paying attention to your life, here and now, with kindness and curiosity. 
• Mindfulness means the intentional cultivation of moment-to-moment attention and awareness. It is the practice of “being present at the moment.” 

Broward is getting connected through mindfulness to support one another as we reduce stress, build resiliency, and cultivate well-being. Learn more about this by visiting the Life Skills and Wellness Canvas Resources for Families and Students, which was created to provide students, families, and staff with high-quality online mindfulness-based education, support, and resources. 

Discover BCPS Guidelines and Norms for presenting mindfulness to the BCPS Community. The purpose is to present mainstream, research-based, mindfulness practices to help cultivate awareness, develop a compassionate connection with yourself and others, lower stress, increase resiliency, and support the development of life skills.

Mindfulness is intended to support the life skills and wellness of our students and staff by cultivating the ability to be aware of the present moment with compassion and kindness toward oneself and others.
