This is an early version of a ppp I am working on for the upcoming school year. Actually, it is an assignment for a coursera course I am taking, but I will continue to 'tweak' it until it is usable for EFL students at our school. Anyone is free to download this and change it as much as they want. Please keep the sources though.

Scholarly Reflection Paper
Up until recently, I knew that mindfulness had benefits, but I never knew their extent. I
also believed I didn’t have time for mindfulness, and that it wasn’t something I should make a
part of my daily routine. This class has taught me that in fact is not true. Mindfulness has so
many positive benefits, and many reasons why mindfulness is a great addition to daily routines.
Mindfulness has been suggested to improve mental health and well-being, resiliency, as well as
cognition, executive control, and attention, which is highlighted in a study by Yakobi et al.
(2020). It can also help cultivate feelings of happiness and joy and lead to its pursuit, as well as
reduce stress. An 8-week mindfulness-based study was done by Hjeltnes et al. (2015) which
evaluated university students, and one of the findings was that during the practice period students
reported they were able to find inner calmness when dealing with stress and anxiety. While I was
doing the practices, I noticed this feeling as well. Although I was stressed, I was able to calm
myself and relax more than I had previously been able to. Also, when I first started doing the
practices in this class or mindfulness practices in the past, I believed that my brain always had to
be completely blank and I should not be focusing on anything else, and I would get frustrated if I
started having other thoughts. However, I have since learned that mindfulness is
“moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness...paying attention in a specific way...as
non-reactively, as non-judgmentally, and as open-heartedly as possible” (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2015).
I learned it was okay to have other thoughts, and just let them be and realize what I was thinking
and feeling instead of trying to control them.
Throughout this paper, I will include a reflection on my experience, specifically my
initial goals for the practices, as well as highlighting what I found went well for me and what did
not, also my overall motivation and dedication to the practices, and a goal for the future.

Reflection on my goals
The first goal I set was: to do the mindfulness activities alone in my room, in a
comfortable position, with my headphones, every day in the evening around 9:00 pm before I go
to bed. I succeeded at completing the mindfulness practices every day, with my headphones, in a
comfortable position, however, the time when I would do them would change. Some days I
would do it earlier in the evening, or later in the night, and once I tried doing it in the morning.
The second goal I set was: to complete the practice logs by setting aside a few minutes of
my time every day right after doing the activities to ensure I truly remembered how I was
feeling. I was able t ...

2. Favorite Week
My favorite week was when we learned how our brain grows and learns, Week
one. It was my favorite because of the little girl and her miracle making surgery.
With that surgery she was able to still learn and only half the brain was
functionable and present. That meaning that a lot is possible with the right will to
do something.
3. Favorite Discussion/Activity
My favorite was the 4 quadrants exercise. It helped me understand what i put my
time into and how i wanna change that. I will use it by changing how much time i
put into useless things into good things.
4. Metacognition
Metacognition because I want to know more about how my brain thinks about its
own thinking. Its honestly really interesting because in the long run knowing how
my brain thinks could help me in the future.
5. Lessons (To use in future)
My first lesson that i will remember so on was how to manage my time for more
efficient things. My second lesson that i will remember for a ong time is
metacognition.
6. Accomplished goals
If my goals were accomplished It would probably be with me starting in the
northern areas of the country. I find the cold to be soothing and more in my
comfort zone. As of right now I see myself being alone and single with my own
business. Thriving in a community with me as an entrepreneur being able to help
the people because I simply can.
