Let Us Explain
mindfulness
what is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of living in the present moment. It is a way of looking at life without judgement and noticing our personal reactions to anything we encounter. Mindfulness can be practiced in many different ways; through controlled breathing exercises, thought shifting, emotional awareness, introspection, compassion and more. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to lower stress levels and improve overall physical health.
Why mindfulness in schools?
With the need for and proactive intervention, along social emotional education for students, MindfullyU assists schools in turning theory into practice. Students and teachers are faced with daily stressors and these stressors impact neurological, emotional and physical wellbeing, as well as executive function. As educators rethink the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to thrive in our fast-changing society, it is opportune to consider other life skills that can contribute to wellbeing, resilience, academic, and life success. Numerous studies have pointed to the efficacy of mindfulness to help with multiple mental and physical problems such as anxiety, stress, pain, attention-deficit hyperactivity, and mood disorders. In addition, recent studies have also indicated the success of mindfulness in contributing to academic achievement and a higher emotional IQ.
IN THE CLASSROOM
Mindful students show less test anxiety, better impulse control and overall improved behavior.
SUCCESS
Mindfulness teaches our brains to react to “distress” not “perceived stress”. Mindful individuals are more relaxed and enjoy a higher quality of life.
