Mindfulness is an important component of self-regulation. Mindfulness helps us develop present-time awareness and a means to regulate our thoughts and emotions. Practicing both attributes is important when becoming self-regulated learners. Practicing mindfulness can help us focus on completing the task at hand by silencing past or future distractions or worries so that we can move forward.

This short series on mindfulness will introduce you to mindfulness and how you can implement daily mindfulness practices to help you become an effective self-regulated learner.
