Marcello's Genius Hour Project

WOW! The weeks have absolutely flown by, but it is time for me to make my final blog post and conclude this Genius Hour research project!! I'd like to say thank you for everyone who stopped by to read my blog and see how this Genius Hour project on mindful meditation was going and I'd like to share an even BIGGER THANK YOU to everyone who helped me along the way! I finally was able to complete a fully self-guided meditation session which was one of my goals at the start of this Genius Hour project! The self-guided session was difficult and I found that I became distracted and lost focus much more frequently than during guided meditation. So in sum, I am extremely pleased to have completed self-guided meditation and tried a different form of meditation, but I have concluded that guided meditation is much more effective and successful in my case. I have been taking anecdotes on my stress levels and mood throughout my Genius Hour journey as I have been describing in my blog up

Hi everyone!! Thank you for returning to my Genius Hour project blog to check out how meditation went for me this week! I am very sad to say that unfortunately, meditation was not very successful this week and so I was unable to reach the goals I had set out for myself from last week. While meditation was working really well for me the past 3 weeks and I did feel it was having a positive influence on my stress levels and wellbeing, things just did not click this week and I feel like I took a step back. The main reasoning for this is that I was sick all week and therefore I was unable to really make time where I was able to meditate in quiet and without interruption. My sickness really prevented me from settling in and meditating most nights this week and I am frustrated this happened because it disrupted the flow I was in with meditation. Pinclipart.
