Managing anxiety with mindfulness

Has your mental health suffered during the pandemic? If so, you're not alone.

Many of us have been adversely impacted by change and the demands of work and life — our routines and supports have been in flux. With such stress and uncertainty, anxiety is on the rise. However, engaging in mindfulness practices can help. A couple of mindful breaths can be the difference between regulating our experience and being overwhelmed with work and life.

This webinar, led by Registered Clinical Counsellor Christian Monks (MA’07), explores the concept of anxiety, what it is, and how it shows up, so that participants are better able to identify it. As an inhibitory emotion, anxiety takes us up into our heads and out of our body and our feelings. Next, we will explore the concept of mindfulness and how, by being more present and aware of our thoughts as well as connected to our bodies, we can better manage work, relationships, and the stress of our ever shifting world.
