Mindfulness Basics

This microcourse is included in a series of nine microcourses that can be bundled together into our Microcertificate in Practical Wisdom at a discounted price. Click here to learn more: PW Microcertificate.

Microcourse Description:

Mindfulness is a term that is frequently used but rarely defined. Practicing true mindfulness encourages living in the present while it addresses the danger of distorted thinking. Staying in tune both mentally and emotionally holistically improves your perspective. Mindfulness is not the same thing as meditation, although meditation is often used to help bolster mindfulness practice. Like most competencies, you will have to consistently practice in order to truly experience the power of mindfulness, but once you become accustomed to it you will find your life changing in a myriad of ways.

With our Mindfulness Basics microcourse, you will begin to identify your own patterns of thinking. As you learn to practice mindfulness, you will cultivate positive emotions that will have a dramatic effect on your personal and professional life.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this microcourse you should be able to:

  • Define mindfulness
  • Develop techniques to make oneself more attuned to the present moment
  • Understand the value and utility of one’s emotions
  • Learn how to identify and counter distorted thinking
  • Learn how to cultivate genuine positive emotions
  • Become more fully present in social interactions
