Mindfulness and Resilience

Mindfulness is the practice of being present and fully engaged in the current moment, without judgment. It can help individuals develop resilience, that is to say, the ability to bounce back from adversity and cope with stress and challenging situations.


The Mindfulness and Resilience activity is part of Area 3 of the Gap Year in Spain program of CIS and UC3M.

Mindfulness practices can also help individuals develop a growth mindset, where they see challenges as opportunities for growth, rather than as threats. Both are closely related concepts, as the practice of Mindfulness can lead to greater resilience in the face of adversity.
