Title: Mindfulness: Shifting from Surviving to Thriving
 
Overview
Mindfulness meditation is a form of mental fitness. It is a practice we can utilize to optimize our brain in ways that improve our health, focus, clarity, relaxation, productivity and joy. There are thousands of research articles demonstrating the efficacy of mindfulness in reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and improving overall wellbeing, and it is used as a evidence-based practice in healthcare, education, and business.
Workshop Learning Objectives
  • Explore what mindfulness meditation is and why it might be worth cultivating
  • Review the relevant research supporting mindfulness
  • Learn how to shift from living on “automatic pilot” to living with greater awareness, presence, and intentionality
  • Learn to work with difficult, self-defeating, and ruminating thoughts
  • Learn to communicate and listen with greater mindfulness to family and friends.
  • Learn to stop your work life from bleeding into your personal life, and vice versa.
  • Identify the root cause of stress and how mindfulness helps us manage it
  • Learn how to practice a variety of different mindfulness meditations, and develop and sustain a meditation practice moving forward

I was skeptical to take this time out of my day. I'm so glad I did.
It was the best investment of time and money I've made in the last 5 years.
