How to get your kid into mindfulness

How to get your kid into mindfulness Mindfulness is more than meditation — and there are many ways to get kids to enjoy the benefits.

SLOW IS SMOOTH, SMOOTH IS FAST is a concept used by martial artists, athletes in training, the U.S. Navy Seals, or anyone wanting better performance in some area of their life.

It's a concept that runs counter to the popular belief that you have to train and perform faster to have success.

Train yourself to relax and perform the steps with efficient precision. Train to relax, train to focus, train to muscle memory. When you're relaxed and calm and need to move fast, you'll move like lightening.

Train to relax
Train to focus
Max efficiency = Min Energy Consumption
