Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Self-Compassion as Tools for Student Success
September 26, 7:30pmStudents face myriad academic and personal stressors that may interfere with their educational success. Mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion are tools that enable people to build long-term resilience, self-efficacy, and psychological flexibility. Without these skills, students are vulnerable to impostor syndrome, or the inability to accurately self-assess, combined with fear of evaluation and difficulty in seeking and accepting assistance due to concerns about showing signs of vulnerability. This lyceum will review benefits of mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion in counteracting impostor syndrome, enhancing self-efficacy, improving academic performance, and promoting personal well-being.
