Pupil Testimonials
Here is sample of things that pupils said about '.b'. We also have a comprehensive ‘warts and all assessment’ of our most recent 8 week course.
- I learnt something totally different to what you expect to learn and I probably wouldn't have learnt it anywhere else
- I think it will help me deal with my worries in life, generally everything, but mainly worrying about exams and homework and stuff because I often get stressed about things like that
- Whenever I need to calm down or need to focus, I use mindfulness techniques as it does actually calm you down and help you focus and concentrate.
- Mainly being able to relax after a long day and be able to use things now in real life. It was almost a life changing experience.
- I think it will help a considerable amount as I have already found it useful in sporting situations. I now “.b” quite often before a football match just to relax and think about what I want to do in the game. Also I used a body scan just before my first race for the school and it totally relaxed me.
- It taught me how to calm myself which I had tried but failed before the course
- What I like most about the course is that I realize more about how brains work. I am pretty stressful at times and I am easily nervous. I realize that sometimes I am just scaring/worrying myself too much as my brain is simply coming up with stories which aren't necessary true. In addition, I realize that I haven't been paying enough attention to various simple things that happen in our everyday lives, such as our breath, the food we take in or even going to the toilet.
- Before a public exam or job interview I think the “.b” concept will help me calm myself down and be able to perform better than if I was stressed out
- I liked the fact that we were able to take time during a day and just sit back , relax, and try to just forget everything on our minds. It was nice to leave everything behind, and concentrate on the smaller, less appreciated thing in life.
- I liked learning how to meditate and search through all the tension that was in my body and my mind.
- The thing that I liked most about the course was the fact that it was a very nice break from what we normally do and it is highly applicable to the normal life that we lead. This is one very important thing that we can take away from our school lives - knowing that this will help us in future
- It was the only time in the week where I could relax and clear my mind.
