For our last week of the contest, we’re prioritizing Rest and Restoration. Job hunting can feel like a full-time job and you deserve to take a breather!

Why Meditation?
Meditation is a fantastic practice that can represent many things, including our state of mind and the way we respond.

Whether you meditate or not, we all can benefit from taking a meditative approach, which can look like introspection, resting more, taking breaks, having an intentional job search and more… which not only benefits us but our family, friends co-workers and future employers too!

Why Headspace?
Backed by science, Headspace is the leading meditation app that’s committed to advancing the field of mindfulness meditation through clinically-validated research.

Used by over 70 million users, Headspace does a really great job of making their app accessible for everyone.
