Today our mindfulness reflection in class, was "what matters to me: personally, socially and in my education?"
Students answered some pretty honest answers: grades, being popular, learning a new language or instrument. As expected. But they also had great conversations about mindfulness- awareness and accepting what they can and can't do. Understanding rules, routines and regulations are there for a purpose. What mattered most to many was the measurable stuff. The tangible stuff.
So on the surface it would seem superficial. BUT, upon deeper observation, more meaningful conversations were taking place, it became clear that believing in themselves, being heard, feeling understood and having a strong, supportive network of friends and family- that mattered most.
It was a purposeful, conversation yet a very enlightening one. I do so love our mindfulness reflection time.
Serendipity or intentionality?
a little of both.
