Abstract:
|
Stress is a leading cause of missing work and job burnout. High levels of stress can cause many health issues such as headaches, anxiety, sickness, and exhaustion. Academic advisors under high amounts of stress often neglect their own self-care and wellness, which can impede their ability to connect with students. One method for dealing with stress is known as mindfulness, that act of paying attention, on purpose, in a particular way (Kabat-Zinn, 2013).
With mindfulness training, it is possible for advisors to lower their stress, fully connect with students, and increase effectiveness. Learn about the science of mindfulness and take part in the art by practicing specific mindfulness exercises, which can be shared with students during advising sessions. |
