As the semester comes to an end, it is important to identify ways to take care of your yourself and reduce stress. 虽然有很多 ways to reduce stress, let’s talk about mindfulness. 正念是 the human ability to be fully present. 这看起来像是意识到了 of our surroundings and what we are doing, and being able to acknowledge our thoughts and feelings without being overly reactive or overwhelmed by what is happening around us.

正念 can be practiced in a number of ways and environments:

• While seated, standing, walking and/or other forms of movement
• During short breaks or pauses that we build into our day
• By merging yoga or sports with meditation practices

Through implementing mindfulness, you may begin to notice positive benefits at work, in your relationships, and in your overall health 和幸福. For more tips on how to incorporate mindfulness into your life and to 学习 about the benefits, check out these resources 来自我的生活专家:
