Mindfulness Practices for Stress Relief and Self Care in Uncertain Times


Life may be full of unknowns right now. It is natural to experience a myriad of emotions as we face this time of uncertainty and general disruption in what seems familiar.

In order to have the resiliency to face difficulties and challenges large or small that to some extent, are out of our control, it can be helpful 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 help enhance life quality both now and in the future.

In this Mindfulness mini session we will:

Develop strategies for using Mindfulness Techniques in everyday life that can be practiced anywhere, anytime.

Cultivate the ability to respond from a calmer baseline to daily life events.

Learn ways to slow the ruminating mind, thereby decreasing catastrophic thinking and its effect on our overall well-being.

Enhance stress resiliency as we develop techniques for intentionally focusing on positive and pleasurable life events.

Learn and Practice Meditation and Breathing Techniques for stress mitigation. 

You will be provided with handouts and on-line resources.
