The new year brings a fresh start, but also the reality of everyday stressors that can feel overwhelming. If you're looking for practical ways to stay calm, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being, our Mindfulness Series offers a perfect opportunity to reset. A different topic will be covered during each virtual lunch-time session. You can attend one, two, or all three sessions.
Session 1: Begin with a Breath
Thursday, February 6, 2025
In this engaging session, you’ll learn the science behind mindfulness and how it can reduce stress, boost resilience, and improve overall well-being. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with simple yet powerful breathing techniques and mindfulness practices that you can incorporate into your daily routine. Whether you’re dealing with workplace stress, managing personal life demands, or simply seeking a deeper sense of calm, this session will provide you with the tools to begin your mindfulness journey with intention.
Session 2: Be Kind to Your Mind
Thursday, February 13, 2025
In this hands-on session, we’ll dive into mindful attention to thoughts, helping you recognize and challenge negative patterns of thinking. Mindfulness is not about avoiding difficult emotions, but rather learning to relate to them in a more compassionate way. Through practical exercises and insights from neurobiology, you’ll discover how to foster self-compassion, practice acceptance, and cultivate gratitude, all of which can reduce stress and enhance emotional well-being. By the end of the session, you’ll have actionable strategies to boost your mental clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, and nurture a more peaceful mindset.
Session 3: Problem-Solving with Mindfulness
Thursday, February 20, 2025
In this interactive session, you’ll explore mindful problem-solving strategies that can help you address difficulties with clarity and calm. Whether you're dealing with communication challenges, work-related obstacles, or personal dilemmas, you’ll learn how to tackle problems effectively and with greater ease. This session will offer you practical tools for constructive problem-solving, improving your communication skills, and making confident decisions, all while maintaining a mindful and balanced approach.
