Master of Mindfulness: How to Be Your Own Superhero in Times of Stress

Description

Faster than a speeding spitball, more powerful than a playground bully, able
to breeze through homework and finish nightly chores in a single bound, it’s
Master of Mindfulness—here to conquer stress, worry, and any trouble that
comes your way!Do you ever feel angry, disappointed, or stressed out about
family problems, school, bullies, or trouble with friends? If so, mindfulness
can help. Master of Mindfulness is a unique and empowering book written for
kids by kids, with cool illustrations and tips that show you how to be
confident, get focused, stay calm, and tap into your own inner strength so
that you can be your own superhero—no matter what life throws your
way!Childhood is supposed to be a carefree time, but the truth is that all
kids have stress—especially when dealing with difficulties at school, at home,
or with friends. Sometimes things happen in life that are hard, and you can’t
stop thinking about them or you react too fast. You might be mad, sad,
irritated, embarrassed, anxious, jealous, or even disappointed with yourself
when things don’t go the way you would’ve hoped. And when you’re really upset,
it’s hard to make good decisions—you may end up doing something that you
regret later or that gets you into trouble. You could probably use some
help—and fast!—but where can you turn? This book will give you the skills you
need to bring up your own superpowers by showing you how mindfulness, like
stopping to take a few deep, mindful breaths, can help you calm down and deal
with things differently.Written by Laurie Grossman, cofounder of Mindful
Schools and director of program development at Inner Explorer, and Mr.
Musumeci’s fifth grade class at Reach Academy in Oakland, California, Master
of Mindfulness presents helpful practices—mindful activities proven to make it
easier to pay attention, accept yourself and others, manage your anger, and
even get to sleep at night. The book features cool, mixed media illustrations
with real kids’ drawings and stories about how mindfulness can help in
different stressful situations. It even covers some of the brain science
behind why mindfulness helps kids to feel better, stay in the present moment,
be kind, and make good decisions. The book includes easy and fun practices,
like mindful breathing, noticing your feelings, paying attention to your body,
and mindful eating, as well as links to engaging audio recordings produced by
Mr. Musumeci’s students. And once you become a master of mindfulness, you can
help others by sharing your superpower and teaching them how to do it,
too—your parents, your teachers, and your friends.When things go wrong, or
when you have scary thoughts or strong feelings, you may need help to sort it
all out, no matter how old you are. Learning and practicing mindfulness can
make it easier to deal with the issues you face every day by showing you how
to tap into your own inner strength in times of stress. So, why not use
mindfulness and start being your own superhero today? Read more
