THROWBACK: USING MINDFULNESS FOR TEST AND SCHOOL SUCCESS
M
9:48Mike BerginHOST
What are the tools that s- that not just students, but really any of us, can use to start to identify those passengers?

9:59Logan ThompsonGUEST
So the passenger framework, the passenger framework itself I wouldn't call mindfulness, and some of the techniques to work with the passengers I wouldn't call mindfulness.

10:09Logan ThompsonGUEST
But mindfulness itself is practicing and n- noticing different things arising in the present moment.

10:19Logan ThompsonGUEST
So the reason in my book that I assign mindfulness practices for students is so they get used to noticing the arising emotions and thoughts in their experience.

10:31Logan ThompsonGUEST
And when they do notice those, it makes them more likely to rec- to notice the passengers when they do surface.

10:39Logan ThompsonGUEST
In fact, it's crucial to use, to be somewhat mindful to notice these passengers when they arise, otherwise they're not gonna notice them and take, uh, and, uh, start taking those passengers' instructions without knowing it.
