Mindfulness Daily Check-in July 14

College life and mindfulness!!

When we take the time to be mindful and check in with ourselves. We cultivate awareness of emotions and feelings.

Mindfulness means confronting one's inner self which scares many but a helpful way for a stressed out college student. It helps to create a better memory, improved focus, improved retaining and reproducing of information and reduce the anxiety and stress levels.

As mindfulness is about paying attention in present and not worrying about past and future,l journaling can be helpful and enlightening. Grab any journal and set a goal to write few things you do like to write each day. It not necessary to be long paragraphs. Bulleted lists with specific thought can be helpful. You can also mention all the good things you accomplished in a day. It will act as an uplifting agent when you feeling low in any day.

A lot of times students get caught up in trying to finish many tasks at once especially during deadlines days. But multitasking can be taxing as well as may affect the quality of work. Rather priortize what you need to get done and focus to do one task at a time. This way you would be able to complete the task with an ease and better quality without feeling overwhelmed or burned out.

Appreciate the environment, people around you. Many did not notice the environment and people around them. Because they are busy with their thoughts. While the environment is beautiful. It is cool and has its own beauty. Try to pay attention to it anytime you feel stressed. Rather focusing on thoughts while walking, take notice of things around you. The trees, the way, the books, and everything.You will enjoy your walk and feel good.

Students do many tasks a day that may be uninteresting as well as overwhelming. So it makes sense to do something that one love to do. Just because they love. No other reasons. Take some time out to do what you love to do. Because they are not important. They are the ways to take self-care and develop oneself as a better version.

So hearing all this, how do you find college life? What did make you feel stress? What do you love to do? Please do share your thoughts.
