Wellbeing and Resilience Workshops

Series Summary and Schedule

Each of the 3 sessions in this series covers a topic related to understanding wellbeing and resilience and tools to help you increase your wellbeing and resilience.  You will learn about how the mind’s default mode can work against your wellbeing and some practical tools to help you re-train the mind to work for you.  The sessions are designed to provide useful tips and practices that can be implemented right away.  Each session will also include mini-meditations, mindfulness practices, and/or seated gentle yoga and breathing practices that can be done anytime during the day.  It is not necessary to participate in all three sessions to gain benefits that will set you up for success.

Session 1: Build Your Foundation

We often set big goals for our wellbeing practices and find ourselves at a loss of where to begin.  This session will focus on gaining awareness of what matters most to you to improve and offer tools to help you define the actions that will get you to success.  Just knowing what you want is not enough to make a difference.  You need tools to drive action and a framework to help you monitor your progress.

Session 2:  Mind Over Matter

The mind plays tricks on us that have become habitual ways of thinking and being.  Some of these are necessary and protective, but some are not.  In this session I will share information about how the mind can be a foe or an ally when it comes to our own wellbeing and resilience.  You will learn about some of the default response mechanisms and how to “rewire” the mind to foster more adaptive responses.

Session 3:  Achieving Wellbeing Goals and Building Resilience

Creating new habits to achieve your wellbeing goals and build resilience takes consistent action often pushing your comfort zone.  In this session I will provide several tools to help you overcome what often gets in the way of success.  You will learn and practice strategies to calm the mind, manage emotions, and how to be more mindfully aware so you can respond to stressful situations with grace and ease.
