Mindfulness Presentation from Wellness Peer Educators

During this event I learned that mindfulness does not come in just one form.

I loved how Sarah Werner talked about how mindfulness and meditation can happen anywhere. It isn't just silence it is acknowledging your thoughts and letting them take you somewhere. It is about being in touch with your body and mind connection.

The presentation was about the importance having mindfulness while being on spring break. Something I took away from this presentation was to live in the moment and take everything in while also being mindful and it’s ok to miss out on some things.

I think it is important to get reminders about safety on spring break. I liked hearing reminders and always being aware what’s going on around you. In busy places with lots of people you never know what can happen and it’s important to be aware of your surroundings

A speaker talked on zoom for about 30 minutes about mindfulness and wellness and how to incorporate it into your everyday life. She talked about how to find the joy in missing out how to feel okay about not putting everything you do on social media and how to try to stop comparing your self and life to others. She also touched on trying to live in the present more. She also mentioned with spring break coming up to be safe and maybe make a safe word with your friends which can decrease risks.

leaned the importance of checking on yourself and your peers.

The presentation was wonderful. I loved the idea of finding joy in missing out. That was super helpful with all of the different trips and activities happening over spring break!!

I really enjoyed this zoom call. It was really nice to just take a second to reflect on my day. I really appreciated all the tips she gave. One that stuck out to me was that she mentioned when you are on trips not always worrying about what you are posting on social media and trying to be in the moment. This is supper important and I sometimes get wrapped up in that.

I was unable to register, but I still joined the zoom! My one takeaway was that I feel much safer going into spring break week and going to the beach with the tips given in the presentation.
