Description

Originally recorded August 26, 2020. Programs such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction have been clinically shown to improve health and well-being but many involve hours of commitment over weeks of time. Health care workers need help now, in this moment, to navigate the unprecedented and ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even brief mindfulness interventions have been shown to produce positive changes in levels of stress, anxiety, mindfulness, resiliency and burnout symptoms. In this session, we will explore brief mindfulness techniques that can be done throughout the day and take as little as ten seconds! We will do brain-based exercises to gain awareness of the experience of being mindful and learn a tool to integrate mindfulness into the workday to increase productivity and reduce burn-out.
