Project P.E.A.C.E. Mindful Monday #18: Positive Reinforcement

Good morning, Mahwah, and happy Tuesday! Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Anyway, we are back with another “Mindful Tuesday” and on this segment, we are going to be talking about being rewarded or rewarding yourself after doing something great (in Mrs. Rosen’s psychology class, we call this positive reinforcement).  Positive reinforcers serve as a stimulus that fosters positive results. For example, if your mother makes your favorite dish when you get an A, you will be more inclined to push for that A because you want to have some more of your favorite dish! Even just a simple “good job,” or a pat on the back can go very far in preserving efficiency and making someone feel better about themselves. Try it, Mahwah!


With that being said, this will be the last Mindful Monday of the school year. It has been a pleasure sharing these mindfulness tips with you all. We cordially hope that you all can take something away from these tips and execute them into your everyday life. On behalf of the entire team, we thank you so much for your support. Have a great rest of the week and best of luck to all of you during final exams and in future endeavors!
