Blog post #4

I enjoyed the enrichment workshop we attended a few weeks ago, to see the documentary “Changing Minds at Concord High School”. It was a very interesting concept, that meditation can, over time, change the minds of teenagers and make it easier for them to focus in class. Personally, I enjoy doing yoga, and it was an option for us in gym class in high school, which definitely made an impact on me. I noticed that it was a source of stress relief in my day, and especially during the end of the first half of the year, this reprieve was greatly appreciated. The chance to de-stress for an hour, or even 5 minutes, is something we take for granted, especially in a fast paced city like New York. The documentary definitely made me want to try meditation out and see how it impacts the way that I study, and hopefully, I will be one of the many that see good results.
