Starting the new term with mindfulness

Things are getting busier on campus again at the moment – the winter semester has begun. For some, it’s their first semester at the University of Erfurt; others have been familiar with that "start-of-semester" feeling for many years: a bit of a fresh start, a bit of uncertainty about what lies ahead, loads of information, sometimes time pressure too, and above all: loads of work – whether in your studies, teaching or research. How can you get through this period – or indeed, through a daily routine that seems increasingly characterised by hustle and bustle and stress? Through mindfulness, for example – a topic that also has its place at the University of Erfurt.
