Mindfulness

Students at Good Counsel College engage in five minutes of mindfulness at the beginning of Periods 3 and 5. This allows for time after lunch breaks to refocus for the lesson ahead.

Mindfulness is the quality of being present and fully engaged with whatever we’re doing at the moment — free from distraction or judgment, and aware of our thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. In teaching the mind to be present, we are teaching ourselves to be live more mindfully — in the present, taking a breath, not beholden to reactive thoughts and feelings — which is particularly helpful when faced with challenging circumstances or difficult situations.
