Join us for a 4-week course all about wellness -
August 1st: What is Wellness: We will talk about what wellness means and explore the eight dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, financial, occupational, environmental.
August 8th: Strategies for Better Sleep: In this workshop we will cover why sleep is important, what happens when we don’t get enough sleep/quality sleep, the negative impact of stress on sleep, five strategies to improve sleep and how to create a “sleep sanctuary.”
August 22nd: Self-Compassion: Are you kinder to others than you are to yourself? Research shows the benefits of being a friend to yourself, and is a critical practice in the cultivation of resilience during stressful times in your life. Reviewing the work of Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer we will discuss the benefits of mindful self-compassion and easy tools to help you improve your relationship with yourself.
August 29th: Practicing Gratitude: Creating a gratitude practice can strengthen your immune system, lower your blood pressure, help you sleep, improve your mood and your response to chronic pain. Through easy practices, such as keeping a gratitude journal, writing letters of thanks and meditating we can bring joy back into our lives.
This is a 4-class series being held on Thursdays, 6pm-7pm at the Stone Harbor Library on the above dates. You need not attend all sessions.
