Mindfulness in the Workplace, Feb. 6

Bridget notes that many wonder how “mindfulness” can help us deal with the stress we encounter at work? The answer lies in this definition of mindfulness: Mindfulness is consciously bringing awareness to our here-and-now experience with openness, interest and a willingness to be with what is.

In this workshop participants will:

  • Identify stressful situations related to work and investigate what makes them stressful.
  • Gain a general understanding of how mindfulness can help decrease stress at work.
  • Engage in mindfulness exercises that support a reduction of stress in the workplace and in life in general.

Date: Thursday, Feb. 6
Time: 10-11 a.m. 
Location: Robert H. Stephens Room

About the presenter:
