Mindfulness and Wellbeing
Our School’s motto is Mind Spirit Being. This week in Kol Szenes, the focus is on Mindfulness and Wellbeing. Mindfulness and Wellbeing are ways in which we are able to connect with our inner-self on a deeper level; in a sense, it is another form of self-respect.
Being in High School, especially, is challenging, so it is really important to be mindful through stressful times such as examinations.
Here are some useful ways that can help with mindfulness and one’s wellbeing:
- Yoga
- Meditation such as mindfulness
- Talking
- Writing
- Reading
- Listening to music.
I personally find meditating, writing, reading and listening to music extremely therapeutic and find that they are a good anti-stress mechanism.
If you are interested in trying meditation, Liron Smith (11) has organised a Meditation Club, which is held on Friday lunchtimes in the Wellbeing room in the Angles Leadership and Learning Centre.
