Virtual: Lunch & Learn

Katelyn Haschke, FHSU Dept. of Psychology with "Taking a Mindful Minute: Mindfulness Strategies to Manage Stress." A 2012 study on mindfulness done by UCLA found that the practice can boost concentration, improve problem solving skills, and even heighten creativity. In addition to those benefits, mindfulness can aid in reducing stress. In this session, we will discuss various mindfulness strategies to help you give yourself a break throughout the busy workday, especially as we’re adjusting to working from home and juggling a new set of circumstances. In addition, participants will be asked to consider new resources to manage feelings of stress. We will talk about various mindfulness practices including mindful breathing, a body scan, gratitude and appreciation, and how you can easily implement them. We’ll also discuss various types of resources that will help you start (or continue) on your mindfulness journey!
