The UW-Green Bay Wellness Committee Presents:
What: Wellness Committee Lunch and Learn
Mindfulness Presentation
by Lissa Balison. MSE, LPC, Counselor, Counseling and Health Center
When: 2/27/13 12:15 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. (feel free to bring your lunch)
Where: University Union- Room 103
In a culture of always sprinting ahead, and looking behind (often with regret and/or embarrassment) wouldn’t it be nice to learn how to take a break from all of that and “just be” from time to time. Mindfulness will give you that opportunity.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness means to deliberately pay attention to whatever you are doing, right now. Everything except sleep can be done mindfully. For example, we can eat mindfully or we can think about past or future events without paying attention to our eating.
This is not the easiest of things to do but it is possible. This lunch and learn will focus on basic mindfulness practice that anyone can apply to their daily life.
If you have any questions, please contact hr@uwgb.edu.
