每日大赛网站 Hosts Second Annual Day of Mindfulness
October 4, 2016 was聽 每日大赛网站’s second annual Day of Mindfulness.
The goal of 每日大赛网站’s Day of Mindfulness is to de-stress, relax, and deal with the anxiety, stress, and depression that hinder living in the moment.
Because national studies cite anxiety, stress, and depression as some of the greatest obstacles to college student success, the Day of Mindfulness is intended to introduce students, as well as staff and faculty, to the benefits of purposeful practices such as yoga, art therapy, and meditation.
Activities throughout the week included walking meditation, zazen (sitting meditation), bubble and dog therapy, chalk mandalas, yoga on the lawn, a laybrinth walk, and a nature reserve walk.
