At the School Near Bahria Orchard, I want to share some things that students face there such as study pressure and technology challenges. The reasons for their stress are demand for academic performance, extracurricular activities, and social interaction.
We can solve the problems of our students by adopting stress management techniques in our daily routine which helps our students to control their pressure.
These techniques will also be helpful for our students to improve their mental health but also it also increases their academic performance.
The Importance of Mindfulness
Through mindfulness techniques we come to know what’s in our mind. In other words we are aware of our thoughts and feelings without judgment. It will also help our students to focus on what they learn and where it is applied.
It will also reduce our mistakes and help out to fulfill our study tasks. If our teachers use mindfulness techniques during lectures then they will be able to increase student creativity, and they can manage the emotions of students.
So students feel interested in class and spend more time in their class happily. However these techniques prove very helpful for both students and teachers.
Starting the Day with Mindfulness
When we start our day with mindfulness exercise then it will help to focus on daily goals. We can simply do it, for example when we take a long breath then it means we feel relaxed.
This exercise will also be like that. Sometimes we actually feel things will happen in reality, in other words we can visualize our goals through mindfulness exercises.
These activities help our students to clear what’s in their mind from where they start and prepare themselves for the whole day. We can set a positive mind and we will be able to handle any stress throughout the day.
Incorporating Mindfulness into Lessons
We can not use mindfulness techniques at specific times but it may be done at any time when we need during studies. We must encourage our students to take mindful breaks,
So that they take a breath and feel relaxed which will help us to focus on our studies and we feel more fresh. We started up with a fresh mind and gave our test or exam more confidently.
For example during long time lecture we feels bore and can not further focus on studies, in this situation we take a break and done mindfulness exercise to fresh our mind and take start again and our learning ability increases.
Stress Management Techniques
We teach our student stress management techniques through mindfulness students can apply these techniques in studies and in routine work. Here i am going to discuss some of methods which i feels important:
Deep Breathing Exercises: we ask our students to take deep breaths which helps them to remove their mental stress and they focus on their studies very well.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation: In this technique we teach our students how they can relax their muscle groups which helps them to release physical tension and become more aware of their bodily situation.
Time Management Skills: if we guide our students how to manage multiple tasks and which work we start first, we provide our students some tools and strategies on how to organize their time efficiently, and complete multiple tasks on time.
Physical Activity: If the teacher practices some regular physical activity during class then it was a great way to manage stress. Teachers can ask their students to participate in sports, yoga, or even simple exercises like walking or stretching during breaks.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices: We must educate students that’s how important it is to take a healthy diet, healthy sleeping time, and take some rest before starting their home tasks. Our lifestyle also affects our studies.
Real-World Applications
The techniques that we teach at our school are not just for the classroom, but also for daily life in which students can apply and solve their problems.
Through mindfulness techniques we will be able to release stress from our job task or some relationship problem. These techniques help a lot.
During my visit at School Near Kabir Town, I came to know that mental health is important like our studies. So we must guide our students how to solve real life problems by applying mindfulness techniques.
By teaching effective stress management techniques, we are preparing our students for a successful and balanced future in which they make progress and feel safe.
Final thoughts
Mindfulness and stress management techniques play an important role to prepare students for the future. Teachers must guide their students how they apply these techniques in daily life to manage their stress level and remain more focused on studies. In our school we must support our students mentally and physically through skills and they gain success in life.
