Description

It's no secret that black men have a lot to deal with in their lives. We're underrepresented in education, the workforce, politics, and more—and that's not even counting the microaggressions we face daily. But we're here to tell you: there's a way out. Black men and mindfulness are a winning combination. Find peace in taking a moment to process your thoughts. Take time to reflect on what makes you happy and is stressing you out. Ask yourself if there's anything you can do to change those things—and then take action! WHAT YOU GET! A hardcover journal to continue some of the skills that will be covered in the retreatPeer-to-peer supportExperience the importance of the mentor/mentee relationship and more!1. Grab a journal and open it to a blank page. 2. Look around you and write down the first thing that catches your eye. You can write about what you see, how it makes you feel, or any thoughts that come to mind when you're looking at it. 3. Take a break from writing in your journal for a few days, then return to it with fresh eyes and write down what catches your attention this time! 4. If there are any words or phrases that keep popping up in your life—whether they're on billboards or overheard in conversation—write them down too! 5. Start a new page by writing down three things that happened that day: one good thing, one bad thing, and one thing you learned (from experience or something interesting).
