Students for Mindfulness and Well Being
This club aims to raise awareness about being mindful and making healthy life choices, and to build resilience and tools for coping with the stress of being a university student.
Stress is one of the most commonly reported impediments to academic performance in undergraduate and graduate students, while excessive anxiety and negative ruminative thoughts contribute to poorer test scores. Students practising mindfulness have less test anxiety and have reported increased alertness, concentration and a greater ability to focus.
Mindfulness does not have to be a serious endeavour, it can be enjoyed in a variety of fun ways. For instance, mindfulness can be applied to video games, colouring, and the simple act of listening to music. Students for Mindfulness and Well Being aims to explore mindfulness techniques students can incorporate in their everyday life that will positively benefit their experience as students and their well-being in general.
SMWB aims to provide students with knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about the products they are exposed to, products they put in their body and on their body, and the habits surrounding their lifestyle choices that can be easily incorporated into their daily routines to gain mindf
