Mindfulness

So this last Friday was senior ditch day and I decided not to go. Meanwhile during 5th period instead of doing our regular routine we got to talk about mindfulness and handling stress. My teacher Dr. Preston told us that when ever he talks to people on campus and asks them how they’re doing they all say the same thing “I’m tired”. So he asked us why we’re so tired but personally I feel like this is the new way of saying you’re on doing so good. Then he told us that simply rubbing your fingers, wiggling your toes or anything that makes you feel human helps with your stress. So over the weekend I tried this technique and it worked because when I was rubbing my fingers I wasn’t foucused on what I was stressing on, I was more focused on my fingers. I thought it was so crazy to me because how could something so simple make someone feel so much better. So I definitely recommend just take some time and rub your fingers or wiggle your toes. :)
