Genius Hour Blog Post 5 - Final Blog Post

Image
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...

For that reason, I thought it would be best to start my meditation Genius Hour project with something I am comfortable with and have had positive experiences using. I also researched the MindUP program from the Goldie Hawn Foundation because it was recommended to me by my course instructor. The program had some interesting information on mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and positive psychology. It also provided example videos of the lessons included in the MindUP program which provided examples of how mindfulness, etc. could be incorporated into the classroom. This is certainly a good resource and one that I will keep ...

Hey everyone!! Thanks so much for coming back to my blog to check out how my Genius Hour project on meditation and its impact on my well-being. This week I did my best to keep meditating at the same time each night. I think the consistency helps not only with reminding myself to meditate but in making the meditation more successful. I feel a sense of ease when it is time to meditate almost as if I am anticipating the comfort and tranquillity of meditating. The reminder that I described to you all in my last post - where it would remind me to meditate at the same time each night - has proven to be effective in keeping me on track! I am glad to have found a strategy that facilitates success in my Genius Hour adventure! I didn't really learn anything new about meditation this week, but I did learn a little bit about myself through the process. I am starting to figure out what types of meditation work best for me and have even bookmarked some sessions that I find particularly effecti...
