activity will focus on practicing mindfulness meditation.

Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn, one of the pioneers of mindfulness meditation in the US, has created a brief, guided, breath-sitting meditation which you can find on youtube:

For this week, you should practice his guided meditation at least four times. Each session takes about 11 minutes. If you are a longtime meditator, feel free to use your own style of mindfulness meditation.

After each session, spend a couple of minutes drop down your reactions. Was it hard or easy? Did your mind wander much? Where did it wander two? How did you feel physically and mentally after each session? Was it helpful in any way? Is there anything you will do different the next time? Do you look forward to your next session?

After you've completed at least four sessions, create a paragraph on your general impressions.
