SUMMARY:Mindfulness - Mental Health Week
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness is the art and practice of of being fully aware of what’s happening in the moment – emotionally\, cognitively\, in any way!  It involves nourishing the capacity to be conscious of what you’re doing and of what is happening around you\, as well as inside you\, with open curiosity\, kindness and an attitude of non-judgement.  Mindfulness can be particularly helpful during stressful times because it can help us step back from our stormy minds\, procide a calmer perspective\, and reveal healthier choices available to use.  It can also help when we need to focus on a difficult or complicated task by reducing the ‘chatter’ of our internal monologue.  While it may come naturally to some\, mindfulness takes practice to master. \nJoin professional psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in-person at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for a 1.5-hour session in Mindfulness. \nRegister here. \nQuestions? \nFor more information about this Mindfulness workshop\, please contact Verity\, WE Mind Mental Health Program Coordinator\, by email or phone at 418-684-5333\, ext. 11932.
