Two-Minute Tuesdays: Tips & Resources for Teaching & Student Success at GSC

Mindfulness Matters!

It’s that time again…crunch time! We all know it’s coming, but it somehow still makes us tremble. The end of the term can bring on anxiety and stress for many of us. As we edge closer to the end of the term we need to remember to take time to care for ourselves.

Research has proven that mindfulness-based practices can help to increase the overall quality of instruction by improving concentration and helping to regulate your emotional response. As you move through your daily routine, try to add some mindful meditation practices.

Here are some resources to help you!
