Gaming can be one of the very worst activities for a person to do, or it can be one of the best. When a person plays video games intentionally, or mindfully, they can strengthen mental health, provide physical exercise, and build relationships and communities. Without that mindfulness, however, video games can suck the life out of grades, drive parents and children apart, and become a source of toxicity and stress in a young person’s life.
The Mindful Gaming podcast aims to help gamers thoughtfully and intentionally engage with video games. Email us at podcast@gamemindfully.com
