Project P.E.A.C.E. Mindful Monday #12: Avoiding Cynicism

Good morning, Mahwah, and happy Monday! On this week’s segment of Mindful Monday, we are talking about avoiding cynicism.  In the stressful environment that is school, it is very easy to become defensive and cynical. Unfortunately, being pessimistic and sarcastic about the challenges in day-to-day life gets nothing done. However, by avoiding cynicism, you become more open, which allows for a greater understanding of your environment and of your emotions. By working to become less cynical, you’ll learn to confront your worries and issues head-on, which will significantly improve your quality of life.

Here are some links on how to defeat the cynicism inside of you:
