Student Workshop Description:
In the first session of this two-part workshop, I will introduce some simple mindfulness practices that can train us to be more relaxed and alert, and I will ask participants to perform a short exercise that involves bringing mindfulness to their use of email or Facebook.
In the second session, we will discuss what participants learned from the exercise and we will explore how to multitask in a more mindful way.
