MPS Virtual
Mindfulness Room
School Counseling Office
We are operating in uncharted territory right now that nobody could have possible imagined or prepared for. Your MPS School Counselors want you to know that your feelings are valid, no matter what they are. You might feel scared, confused, overwhelmed, angry, alone, grateful, or completely calm. You might feel many things at once, like being upset that an event was cancelled, but happy that you can wear pajamas all day. Your feelings are normal; the situation is not. Don't forget to breathe.
This Virtual Mindfulness Room is a place for students and families to find tools and strategies for managing emotions and feelings. We are here to support you!
Each school has a mindfulness google classroom for you to join. Visit your school's website for a complete list of times.-MPS School Counselors

To practice mindfulness, you try to stay aware of each thought or sensation as it arises in the present moment around you, but also allow it to pass as you continue to remain present. While this may seem simple, trying it can be both challenging and trans-formative. This is why many activities and resources exist to help with your mindful practice. This website offers several options.

Have you ever dealt with situations where you had ‘butterflies in your stomach,’ a fast heart rate, or ‘lost your cool?’ The human brain is wired to respond to stress as if something were threatening. Learning to be mindful prepares us to make clearer decisions rather than being ruled by our emotions. This realization is empowering for students who deal with stress in and out of the classroom, from bullying to homework. At the same time, mindfulness can help us more deeply connect with the people and moments that make up our lives.
