answer correctly
Answer
False
Statement
Mindfulness is always easy.
Reasoning

Stressful situations arise and willpower fades. You may not be aware of when toyr body is having a psychal reaction to stress or you have spent a lot of time worrying. Mindfulness is also being aware of when you personally need to reconnect to the moment and invest more time in the here and now.

Answer

Statement
Mindfulness helps people use more of their brains when angry.

VISUALIZATION CARD
Brushing Your Teeth
Directions
Imagine that you are standing in front of the sink in your bathroom. Pick up your toothbrush and feel the dry bristles, hard plastic, and handle in your hand. Turn on the cold water. Focus on the water as it flows through each bristle. Notice the sound of the water as it rushes past the brush and down the drain. Pick up your toothpaste and observe the texture as you squish it and gently squeeze it onto your toothbrush. Bring the toothbrush under your nose as you smell the burst of minty scent. Bring the toothbrush to your teeth. Feel the pressure against the enamel. How does the wetness feel on your gums? how does it feel when you rinse the water between your teeth? Spit out the last mouthful of water and take a deep breath in. Doesn't your breath bring joy into this moment?
Finish
By completing this exercise, you get to give a player of your choice a point.
