Social Sciences - Psychology / CBT
German term or phrase: Tagesübung
Training of therapists in mindfulness; this is what the trainees are supposed to do at home, during a 6-week "Selbsterfahrungsintervall":

"Es wurde empfohlen, **täglich kurze Übungen** (informelle Übungen und kurze formelle Übung wie z.B. Atemraum) und **Tagesübungen** (umfangreichere formelle Übungen wie z.B. Body-Scan an speziellen Tagen) zu kombinieren."

Is there a difference between "täglich Übungen" and "Tagesübungen"? Perhaps the latter means all-day exercises, as most of what I find online has to do with fire department drills, but I can hardly imagine anyone practicing body-scan exercises for the whole day).

Thanks!

agree  philgoddard: It's explained in the German. Personally I'd leave it out - there's no reason why they need a name, and the German is very repetitious with Tag and täglich.

daily exercises


Explanation:
I agree with the previous poster, but think "daily exercises" might have a slightly better ring to it.

disagree  philgoddard: No, the German specifically makes a distinction between these and "täglich(e) Übungen".
