Action from FDP session - Mindfulness and Emotional Resilience

 I was thrilled to be invited to be a part of the Faculty Development Program of Anjuman College of Hotel and Tourism Management Studies and Research.  This program is spread over a week and has other external faculty like myself, who are covering different aspects of the theme "Wellness to Wisdom".

All the faculty invited for this Program

I opted for the topic, Mindfulness and Emotional Resilience for Educators.  The challenge - only two and a half hours to cover such a fascinating and deep topic.  I had a further discussion to understand how this topic came up, and based on this, I put the components of my session together.

Through facilitator led discussions, I covered how emotions can create distortion of reality and facts, what emotional resilience contains, the difference that a Growth Mindset can make, the fallacy of multi-tasking and it's links to stress and productivity, mindfulness and got them to practice a mindfulness journaling exercise.  

The faculty participants marvelously did their part of being student learners, with insightful questions and comments.  They made the session more interesting and impactful, especially when they took up a specific action to put into practice.
