Skillful Ways to Study with Buddhist Practices
By using the principles of the buddhist religion, we can improve our study skills in the modern age. Evaluating impulses that allow procrastination to persist is the first step to shifting our mindset for more productive study habits, and ultimately a more stress free life. In coming home to the body through meditation, we will become proficient in recognizing what our body and mind needs at any given time. Some practices I will share include journaling, sensory work, and mindfulness strategy.
