Tue, Sep 15Holistic Huskies Mindfulness Drop InsKicking off during Suicide Prevention Week, join SHaW Health Promotion and the Homer Babbidge Librarians on Tuesdays for a mindful wellness break in HBL Rm 1131 between 1pm and 3pm, starting Sept 15th. Take a break, grab a Mindful Map, earn a stamp, and learn to practice mindfulness all in an environment designed for relaxation! Mindfulness acts as a powerful buffer for our mental health by helping us catch and stop overwhelming thoughts before they turn into a full-blown mental health crisis. By practicing present-moment awareness, managing our emotions, and learning to sit with our feelings without judging them, we can significantly reduce college-related stress, constant overthinking, and the feeling that we are a burden to others. Start a new health habit today and join us when you can to keep building on your practice!
