Mindfulness Practice and ethical decision making is not a trend. Exercises and practices to keep your heart and mind open have roots in communities that go back over 2,000 years in both the West and the East. Social Emotional Learning (SEL ), character building, and mindfulness practice are not mutually exclusive and actually compliment or support each other and support us . Consistently practicing mindfulness, ethical decision making, and SEL exercises offers opportunities for overcoming distress and anxiety to live with resilience and joy.
