Frequently asked questions
When does the BeMindful Challenge begin and end?
The BeMindful Challenge runs October 1-31, 2023
How does the challenge work?
Download the 31-day mindfulness calendar that outlines simple daily tasks/activities to increase mindfulness each day. Challenge yourself to complete one each day!
Can I swap one of the daily mindfulness activities for another?
Yes- if you cannot complete the assigned daily activity for a specific reason (i.e., the weather), please choose another daily activity to complete instead. The order is not important, but rather that you complete one activity per day.
How do I log my mindfulness practice?
How will I receive communication during the monthly challenge?
All registered participants will receive a weekly email on Mondays from BeWell with reminders and tips and tricks to be more mindful throughout the day. The weekly email will also contain a link to log your mindfulness practice.

Download mindfulness resources available for Penn State Health employees here.
