What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a practice involving paying attention in the present without judgement, letting people fully engage with experiences, feelings and thoughts. Practitioners observe their feelings and thoughts as they bubble up, but don’t get entangled them. Instead, they acknowledge them gently as they pass.
Mindfulness improves stress management
From performance anxiety in exams to coping with emotional issues alongside studying, overcoming stress is essential to academic success. Mindfulness teaches students practical and mental ways to manage their stress effectively.
Mindfulness increases focus
Practicing mindfulness helps students improve their focus and concentration. They engage more deeply with their subject, enhancing comprehension and information retention.
Mindfulness lengthening attention span
Research also suggests that, over time, practicing mindfulness can increase a student’s attention span. This lets them study for longer periods without loss of concentration helping them learn faster and more efficiently.
