"3 Changes for Ultimate Resilience, According to Ivy League Professor"
University of Pennsylvania's "monk class" requires students to observe a code of silence, abstain from using all electronic communications, and limit their spending to $50 a week for one month. The class aims to help students become more resilient by getting used to uncomfortable emotions. However, there are other practices that can help, such as a digital cleanse, single-tasking, and doing nothing. These practices can help individuals become more mindful and aware of their surroundings and emotions, leading to better mental health.
