Mindfulness and Resilience

Resilience
What did you learn about?
I learnt about resilience, and why it is important. I learnt that resilience is about not giving up when something is difficult, and trying to find a solution to your problems before deciding you can't fix them or solve them.

Was there anything you felt was difficult to understand? Why?
There wasn't anything I didn't understand. I already knew a fair amount about resilience. I understood what it meant and why it was important, and how it's a good quality to have.

How did you relate to the 'Who moved my cheese?' video?
I'm not sure. I guess I don't really mind change, depending on what it is.
Mindfulness
What did you learn about?

I learnt that mindfulness and being mindful, is about being in the moment. Using your five senses (sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing/sound) to take note of the small details that surround you. It also involves noticing and understanding other peoples body language/body cues, which can determine how someone is feeling. Being mindful taught me that it's important to notice whats happening around you, and being aware of body cues can help you understand how someone is feeling.

Was there anything you felt was difficult to understand? Why?

There wasn't anything I found difficult to understand, I understood/understand why being mindful is important and why paying attention to body cues is helpful. I understand how using each of your five senses can be used to be mindful and I understand how to notice/recognise body cues.

When talking to  classmate how do you know how they're feeling?

If you pay attention to a persons posture, actions, facial expressions and body cues, you can interpret and determine how they are feeling or whether they're having a good or bad day. For example, when someone is happy, they tend to have softer eyes, usually smiling but not necessarily. People who are happy also usually stand straight (they have good posture), they don't slouch their shoulders and they hold their head up high.

How can you apply your new knowledge to the Business Kete?

I can use resilience in the Business Kete to figure out any problems I and my group might have, like trying to buy everything we need and still stay within our budget to ensure we make a profit, or when trying to figure out what our product will be and how we're going to promote it/advertise.
