Meditation is often associated with yoga or sitting on the ground with closed eyes, but it’s much more than that. The Joliet Junior College Sustainability Union defines meditation as being mindful of what’s going on in your head and around you.
As we head deeper into the school year and work and stress piles on, it’s important to be mindful and take the time to meditate. Continue reading for tips and tricks from our Sustainability Union to improve your mindfulness this semester.
Try a variety of meditation exercises.
Meditation and mindfulness activities are not one-size-fits-all, nor are they limited and stuck in a box. Depending on the person and what’s happening in life, certain meditations may be more effective than others.
Different meditation exercises include walking, sitting, breathing exercises, going outside, listening to music or white noise, reading and so much more. You can go for a walk on our trails, sit on the patio or picnic grove or reserve a study room in the library to have peace and quiet to yourself. Consider what would put your mind at ease and give yourself a break and act accordingly.
