Mindfulness and Feelings

In this section the learner becomes more aware of feelings, by seeing how feelings and emotions impact the characters. They will be challenged to start noticing both their own and those of others. They begin to see that feelings don't just happen, there is a cause and effect. They also begin to become empowered as they learn that they don't have to be at the mercy of moods and feelings.

Mindfulness and thoughts

In section 3 the student begins to unravel that much like feelings, thoughts are subjective. The student is encouraged to start taking note of their thoughts. They learn that thoughts are not necessarily facts. They also gain tools to start questioning and challenging their thoughts in order to decide if believing them is in their own best interest.

Mindful Relationships

By this final section the student should now be able to take the lessons from the earlier sections to understand that people, thoughts, and feelings are all connected. There is a relationship between things, a cause and effect.
