“Through fiction, you can escape into a world that isn’t your life, but can help you to deal with it.”
-Matt Haig, author
“We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.”
–Judith Butler, author and theorist
Did you know that reading is good for your mentalhealth as well as for your interpersonal relationships? For instance, psychologists from the New School for Social Research noted in 2013 that reading literature improved one’s ability to register and read other people’s emotions.

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.
Join professional psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in-person at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for a 1.5-hour session in Mindfulness.
