Are you looking for more ways to practise meditation and mindfulness in your daily life? Kids Help Phone collaborated with Smiling Mind, a leading prevention-focused mental health not-for-profit organization in Australia, to give young people in Canada access to new, self-guided tools and resources.
Meditation and mindfulness are similar. They’re both about giving your full attention to the present moment in an open and non-judgmental way. They can help you relax, focus, ground yourself, build a self-care routine and more.
It can be helpful to practise meditation and mindfulness using self-guided tools. You can check out the info and resources from Smiling Mind and Kids Help Phone below for support building your skills.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity and without judgment.
Why do we need mindfulness?
Mindfulness helps us focus better and think more clearly. It can help us to relax, reduce stress and may improve sleep.
