STEP 1: Register for Thoughtful Tuesdays

COVID-19 has created an unprecedented amount of uncertainty and challenges. With unclear procedures and the threat of infection, while still maintaining education standards, it's hard to have the energy to care for someone important: yourself.

Join us every first Tuesday of the month for 30-minutes to practice a Starling Minds strategy to help you better manage stress, worry, and anxiety.

Topics Covered: 

  • 1) Reduce stress and calm yourself with diaphragmatic breathing

  • 2)  Set SMART achievable goals and celebrate your successes

    3) Practice meditation to feel at peace and at ease with your mind

    4) Break unhelpful patterns by understanding your common triggers, moods, and reactions

    5) Create balanced positions to manage worrisome and repetitive thoughts

    6) Build your own mental health action plan for success

 

Each session will be recorded and will be shared with you afterwards. We encourage you therefore to sign up for the challenge to make sure you receive the recordings.
