Mindfulness helps cultivate peace within yourself and others. Everyone experiences strong feelings, emotions, stress and uncertainty.

Practice intentionally throughout the day. The more stressed you feel, the more you need to PBNA! Keep in mind that sometimes 'Act' is inaction or stopping, changing, resting.
New to the PBNA strategy? This strategy is great for all ages, start with Pause/Breath and expand. Set the duration for your needs (e.g. 20 second to 20 min).
On my website you can download for free an emotion identification & regulation lesson plan and digital slides (for children/youth), as well as a printable anchor chart (for all ages).
