• Tuesday, January 14, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. 

Mindfulness: Did you know that elite athletes like LeBron James practice mindfulness regularly to improve their performance? In this class you will learn easy, approachable tools and techniques to help you to stay grounded and embrace the present moment.

• Tuesday, January 21, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. 

Mindset Mastery: How are our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related, and why is it so easy to get caught up in a negativity spiral? If you’ve ever found yourself jumping to worst case scenarios, obsessing over what “should” have happened, or falling into the trap of perfectionism, join us for this class to unpack these and other common but unhelpful mindsets and cognitive patterns.

• Tuesday, January 28, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. 

Gratitude: Did you know that gratitude has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective tools for increasing overall happiness? Join us to learn how practicing gratitude can not only help you build positive interpersonal relationships, but can also create new connections to the “bliss center” of your brain, help regulate stress, and build neural pathways to promote positive thinking.

Conquering Crisis: Have you ever felt completely out of control, like your emotions were running away with you, like you’re about to do something you’ll regret later? Learn simple, practical tools to help you better control how you respond to your emotions instead of letting your emotional responses control you.

Communicate to Advocate: What is your communication style and is it helping or hurting your ability to communicate effectively and get your needs met? Join us to learn useful techniques for expressing your needs and building your interpersonal communication skills.
