Taming the Monkey Mind: A Mindfulness Approach to Managing Life's Stressors and Challenges

About the Event

Objective

Most of the time we cope reasonably well with stressful, challenging situations. We learn from these episodes and are wiser when it comes to new hurdles. However, there may be times when we have to face many obstacles at the same time, even before a previous one has been resolved. When we are overwhelmed, we tend not to think clearly, and the decisions we make may further worsen the situations. Mindfulness has been shown to be effective in helping us stay grounded, not 'all over the place'. This workshop aims to give participants some basic tools to manage themselves through steadying our thoughts and minds, our emotions, and our behaviours. Some time will be allocated for Q&A.
