4: MINDFULNESS-Wise Mind

Today we go over Wise Mind!

We'll define Wise Mind, Emotion Mind, and Reasonable Mind and go over examples of when they might be used.

I'll go over what Wise Mind looks like in myself.

Homework:

Freshman: Pay attention to when you're in Wise Mind, Emotion Mind, or Reasonable Mind throughout the week. What situations are you in? What does your body feel like? How do you feel emotionally? What kind of choices are you making?

JV: Freshman Homework, plus practice Wise Mind by using a technique talked about at the end of the episode.

Varsity: Same as JV, but practice two techniques.

Ways to Practice Wise Mind:

Flake on a lake

Spiral Stairs

Breathe in Wise and out Mind

Ask Wise Mind a question

Ask yourself if this is Wise Mind or not

Focus on your center

You can find others on Google, Youtube, etc!
