Mindful Minute with Christy Land is a weekly mindfulness podcast inspired by the lessons I teach in my high school mindfulness classroom. Each week, we’ll explore a practical mindfulness concept and pair it with a short guided practice you can return to whenever you need it. Whether you’re a current student catching up on a missed lesson, a former student continuing your practice, or simply someone looking for more calm and awareness in everyday life, there’s a place for you here. My hope is that mindfulness becomes something you can carry with you long after you leave my classroom.

    Guided Practice: Notice Your Emotions | Lesson 6: Mindfulness of Emotions

    In this guided practice, you'll slow down and check in with your emotions without judging or trying to change them. You'll notice what you're experiencing in your body and mind, get curious about what the emotion may be telling you about what you care about, and create space to choose how you want to respond.

    Mindfulness of Emotions

    In this episode, we explore how emotions aren't good or bad—they're information. Our emotions can give us clues about what matters to us, but we get to choose how we respond to them. You'll learn how to notice your emotions, recognize what happens in your body and mind, get curious about what they might be telling you, and create space to respond instead of reacting on autopilot. Notice. Pause. Breathe. Respond. Music: 'Clear Skies Ahead' by Stan Town on #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/c/stan-town License code: D4RMVGKI9OUSL4AR
