Abstract

Mental health has a significant role in helping students adjust to the various challenges of learning at school. One crucial factor in maintaining students’ mental health is self-love. One effective strategy for optimizing self-love is providing mindfulness-based intervention in classical guidance services for students at school. This research aimed to determine the benefits of mindfulness in the learning context before the subsequent research in a controlled trial experiment. The ‘Mindful Inner Smile Technique’ is a mindfulness technique that guides students to cultivate self-love through a smiling meditation. The researchers explored the effects of using the “Mindful Inner Smile Technique” in classical guidance to increase the self-love of 30 junior high school students in a private school in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results showed that the student’s self-love increased significantly after implementing the “Mindful Inner Smile Technique” in classical guidance. Furthermore, each student showed higher self-love at the posttest than at the pretest. This result proved that mindfulness-based intervention, especially with the “Mindful Inner Smile Technique,” is a promising treatment for increasing the self-love of junior high school students. This research implies that guidance and counselling.
