Teens who have completed a mindfulness training for mindful breathing can upload material that showcases their expertise. Just like an Eagle Scout badge, these activities are proctored by a real person who will validate the proficiency of the youth.
Perfect for College Applications, Job Resumes, and Leadership Awards, this Mindful Me badge is now live. Students from all mindfulness programs are welcome and invited to participate.[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_gap size=”100px”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://www.innerstrengthfoundation.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Mindful-Me-badge.png” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][x_gap size=”110px”][x_button size=”global” block=”false” circle=”false” icon_only=”false” href=”https://www.lrng.org/inner-strength-foundation/playlist/mindful-me-breathwork-playlist” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””]Click here to begin your badge![/x_button][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section bg_color=”hsl(0, 1%, 97%)” parallax=”false” class=”program-areas” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px 100px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-center white-text” style=”color:#fff;”]

They said that they were glad to practice in class because they might not have done so on their own, and it was a well-needed time to relax during a hectic school day. Some also said that the benefits continued beyond the class period as it helped them to ward off stress and sleep better at night. Many were excited to learn a skill that is useful now and will also be useful in the future.[/x_blockquote][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
