Monday 21st September

Mindfulness Monday

We will be hosting some free sessions on the 'Benefits of Mindfulness' hosted by Jill Brayshaw.

It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present moment – to your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you – can improve your mental wellbeing. Mindfulness means knowing directly what is going on inside and outside ourselves, moment by momentAn important part of mindfulness is reconnecting with our bodies and the sensations they experience and allows us to become more aware of the stream of thoughts and feelings that we experience.Becoming more aware of the present moment can help us enjoy the world around us more and understand ourselves better.Mindfulness is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a way to manage anxiety and depression and can help us deal with issues more productively by not dwelling on the past or the future.

Sessions will last for 45 minutes and take place in The Hub, Pre-booking is essential as places are limited.
