A MENTAL HEALTH
a. Read the text and decide whether the sentences are true or false.
Mindfulness
• Do you ever feel like your thoughts are racing a hundred miles a minute? Or that there’s just too much going
on and you can’t find time to breathe? Feeling anxious and overwhelmed may even be affecting your
schoolwork and grades. If this sounds familiar, mindfulness-based practices may be for you.
• Mindfulness meditation is the practice of being present and aware of our inner thoughts, feelings and
surroundings. It originates from Buddhism but is secular in nature. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to
reduce stress, improve sleep, and improve thinking process.
