How did you first learn about mindfulness?
“I first discovered Mindfulness in Year 7 where we were introduced to the sessions but they were not delivered consistently at the time. However, I came back to it at Year 10 where I completed the .b course in order to help me get through my first GCSE exams.”
How does mindfulness help you?
“Mindfulness helps me most when I get nervous or feel a panic attack before going into an exam, so doing practices really help me control my breathing patterns. When the stress and anxiety kicks in I do a lot of overthinking which can result in further stress. Mindfulness helps me acknowledge those thoughts, accept them and move on.”
Why do you want to be a MiSP Youth Ambassador?
“Having learnt mindfulness myself, I want to take my journey further by introducing it the young people of our generation and helping them reach their full potential. Knowing that I have this skill to help me makes me determined to show other young people the positive results that mindfulness brings, and being a MiSP Youth Ambassador can help me achieve this.”
