Life is full of unknowns right now. It is natural to feel stress, anxiety and worry as we face this time of uncertainty and general disruption in our day to day lives.
In order to have the resiliency to face these difficulties large or small that to some extent are out of our control, we need to develop the capacity to find and nurture the positive parts of ourselves and our situations. It is also important to realize that we may need new tools in addition to our trusted coping strategies that have worked for us in the past. Practicing mindfulness can provide us with simple and reliable strategies to enhance life quality both now and in the future.
Mindfulness Practices included in this Workshop:
- Explore our current stress triggers, physical manifestations of stress, and habitual stress reactivity
- Cultivate the ability to respond from a calmer baseline to unpleasant events
