CHALLENGES
This is the tenth week weve been doing the mindfulness program.
The period for us to concentrate in our breath is getting longer than last few
weeks.
Another challenge is busy mind. During the last few days of this
week, there are a lot of things in our mind which need to think about and
need to do. This is because we have many mid-term tests and assignments
need to submit. It makes us stress and fear. Hence, we will wake up a few
times during the practice.
Perseverance is the one that we need now. Good perseverance and
good patient will give us good concentration. When a people have a good
perseverance, he/she should be able to overcome all the obstacles.
The duration of concentration in mindfulness practice is shorter which
around 10 minutes while the duration of concentration in mindfulness for
this week is more longer which around 13-15 minutes.

BENEFITS
Daily centering cultivates a peaceful, clear state of mind, this state
revels amazing truths that will define the source of anxiety and the course of
action needed. Seeing this will make things feel more manageable.
Besides that, our ear is getting more sensitive to the sounds. For
example, we can heard clearly that sound emitted by fans and air-conditioner
which ignored usually.
By practicing mindfulness training before the class or revision start,
we comprehend that this might help us improved our learning ability and
memory. For an example, without practicing mindfulness, we are unable to
be focus and concentrate in listening lecture class. After a short practicing,
we do not feel sleepy and able to continue the three hour lecture class. This
proved that mindfulness training is manage to help us clear our tiring mind
and helps us to charge mentally and physically.
Mindfulness help us do not have to actually be meditating for it to still
benefit our brains emotional processing. Brain regions response to
emotional stimuli is changed by meditation, and this effect occurs even
when a person isnt actively meditating.
