Being You: A Girl’s Guide to Mindfulness

No one can deny the years a girl works her way from childhood to womanhood are difficult ones. One way to help adolescent girls through this time is the practice of mindfulness. This is a way for girls to tap into their own inner strength and knowledge, to help them discover what they really want out of life and who they really are, to navigate these difficult years and find a calm in the midst of the tween-years storm filled with peer-pressure, bullies, and fracturing friendships. The book is filled with gentle instruction and a great many exercises and practices to help the readers stay focused, attain a positive self-image, inner peace, and gratitude. Many pages are ready to be filled in to track progress and successes. All of these will help young women deal with all the stressors in their lives and deal with their difficulties. With activities such as a Rainbow Walk and Breathing Colors and Same-Same, But Different and Five Senses Snack, readers will find many ways to access their inner strength and calmness to solve many of their problems. This is the perfect gift for middle school girls.
