Cozy Up to Mindfulness: Simple Ways to Bring More Calm Into Daily Life
Sunday, March 26, 2023
1-2 PM Pacific via Zoom
Perhaps you’ve heard how helpful mindfulness is, but can’t fit yet another thing into your schedule. Or you’ve tried meditation and found yourself feeling antsy at the three-minute mark, ready to tackle your to-do list instead of sitting still. Amidst the frenzy of mom life, it can be difficult to pause long enough to catch your breath, let alone block off time to focus on it!
This workshop will introduce you to several easy ways to incorporate mindfulness into your day, allowing you to pick and choose which techniques work best for you. You will walk away with an understanding of what mindfulness is, its remarkable impact on your well-being, and a personal plan for integrating gentle, intentional presence into your everyday activities.
