This workshop had good intentions. It was both useful and important in helpingthe freshman’s cope and deal with their first year of college. They taught us great techniques which I have tried after attending this workshop. This is to practice mindfulness when doing a certain task. This is done to change the experience of the task and help you to relax. It is used in simple tasks such as brushing your hair or sitting down to eat something. You use each individual senses to evaluate what you are doing. So you would stop and feel the pressure of your body on the chair or take in the scent of what you are drinking. They recommend doing this 1 to 2 times a day. I have tried it and it does work to a certain degree. But with so many things going on and so many things to do I sometimes don’t concentrate as much as I would like to. Overall it was a good workshop to attend because I learned a valuable stress reliever.
