The Resilience Project

Each week our students are participating in The Resilience Project to provide practical wellbeing strategies to build resilience. This week’s presentation from The Resilience Project focuses on Mindfulness.

Mindfulness is our ability to be present at any given moment. We practise this by using intentional awareness and concentrating on what you are doing when you are doing it.

Thousands of studies into Mindfulness indicate that with regular practise, Mindfulness can lead to benefits such as; reduced stress, reduced rumination, increased memory, increased cognitive function and physical health benefits through improved immunity.
