Featured Trade Secret:

There's a technique called grounding that I really love. It's where you focus on doing something to relieve anxiety or stress and bring your mind back to the present moment. It's often about focusing on your senses and the action you're doing. For example, counting your breathes, noticing how the air is cooler coming in than out, how the ground feels under your feet, etc. You can also do this with movement: noticing how your body feels as you stretch, focusing on one specific part of the body, and so on.

Why does this matter? Because if you approach language learning with stress, anxiety and a cluttered mind, it's hard to focus and absorb what you learn. Practicing mindfulness before you start learning will help your mind ease into it and remember things more efficiently.
