The Power of Community
Tiara Cash - FRIDAY
3/20/2020		The definition of Community – when broken down further: com – means together and munity – is defined as a privilege that has been granted. Together, experiencing Community means that we are privileged to be granted togetherness. In a time of such suffering around the world for many reasons, our strength lies in our connections; lies in this privilege of togetherness. We have the power to overcome anything as a human society together as the big "WE". Mindfulness in community can help us tap into that power by gathering and acting upon our innate need for belonging and togetherness. community, belong, overcome, together, powerfulhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi5-AsXqnS0&list=PLNrrxHpJhC8mQ9ASLgp2AyOYJ8cDHPkVl&index=84

My 0-minute Commute: Finding Comfort in "fuzzy pants"

3/26/2020 - Dr. Teri PipeIn a time of physical distancing, working from home has become the new normal for many people. Adjusting to working in new place is challenging, especially if it is one that is likely to present new forms of distraction such as the temptation of midday naps or the interruption of children. In this session the Center team offers tips and practices to help you find comfort in this new normal. The introduction of mindfulness into your new work space and schedule can help you balance productivity and wellbeing, join us today to learn how! work from home, new normal, adjustment, comfort, balance, productivityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_pJu7HH1M0&list=PLNrrxHpJhC8mQ9ASLgp2AyOYJ8cDHPkVl&index=81Many people are encoun ing the past few days’ headlines as a first step on what feels like a very steep learning curve to catch up with what is happening. On the other hand, some people have been steeped in news of COVID-19 for weeks or months and feel oversaturated. And between these two extremes lies a vast continuum from experiencing the shock of news for the first time from feeling fatigue of too much information for too long. You may find yourself going back and forth on this continuum, which is very normal and understandable. We are all at various phases of readiness, so the other people you talk to will also be at different points on this continuum. We have been hearing a lot about whether people are over-reacting or under-reacting; this sometimes comes with some judgement. It is probably true that most people are simply reacting the best they can, just like you. Judging yourself or others for their reactions may take away energy we can use in more productive and supportive ways. As you encounter news, whether by TV, social media, websites or email, please consider these factors: - Are you in a mental and emotional state to encounter more information? If not, please pause first, then proceed when you are ready. - Is the information source trustworthy? If not, please consider whether or not to pay attention. Your attention and energy are precious resources, especially in uncertain times. Save your attention, time and energy for honest and valid information sources. - How much information do you need at any given time? Take in what you need, then please pause and digest what you have learned. Sometimes, just like other forms of consuming, we need to remember to check in to our bodies, minds and beings to see how much is enough and how much is too much. - Please find ways to self-sooth and comfort as you work through the information you encounter and please help others do this, too. - When you pass along information, can you do so factually without adding anxiety to the people you are talking to? We can use our strength to choose whether to pass the baton of anxiety and uncertainty to others or to be vehicles of compassion. This does not mean glossing over facts, it simply means sticking to what is true without adding drama.

It's Ok To Be Ok

3/30/2020 - Dr. Nika GueciIn this time of the coronavirus pandemic, we may be feeling off-balance, like the ground has been shaken under our feet. We may be experiencing worry (in our minds), stress (in our bodies), or anxiety (a culmination of both worry and stress). However, humans have an innate ability to hold both deep pain and intense joy at the same time. While it is true that our lives are altered, we can reframe the situation to find moments of happiness - and that is perfectly ok.

To Do or Not To Do: Working Through Procrastination

3/31/2020 - Dr. Teri PipeWhy do we procrastinate? Procrastination is often an emotional response, such as excitement, dread, resentment, or overwhelm, to a given task. Procrastination is an act of calling our attention and focus away from a task. When we use mindfulness we are actively calling our attention back to the present, to what is in front of us, and thus can help remedy the common tendency of procrastination. This session provides mindfulness based tips and practices to help you re-focus and work through procrastination.procrastination, attention, focus, working from home, productivityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0vRM3mlkvM&list=PLNrrxHpJhC8mQ9ASLgp2AyOYJ8cDHPkVl&index=77

The Holy, Wholey, Holey NO!		4/21/2020 - Dr. Teri Pipe, Dr. Nika Gueci & Tiara Cash
Explore why we have trouble saying "no," and what the different types of "no" stem back to. The "Holy no" is ethically wrong, the "Wholey no" is when your intuition tells you no, and the "Holey no" is wishy washy and not straighforward. Create boundaries around each of these "nos" to have an easier time saying "no" next time.emotional wellbeing, boundaries, decision makinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erWU2Fvka6w&list=PLNrrxHpJhC8mQ9ASLgp2AyOYJ8cDHPkVl&index=62

Tuesday Holding Space: Me, You, and Us		5/5/2020 - Tiara CashHolding space – there are many different definitions and ways of thinking of this concept. Consider holding space as an opportunity to extend your mindfulness practice to another person by seeing, hearing, and holding what it is they need and creating a bond for another person to be brave and express who they really are. This begins with learning how to hold space for yourself, then moving out toward holding space for another person, and then eventually to holding larger spaces for communities/organizations.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-TL0nl4ZnI&list=PLNrrxHpJhC8mQ9ASLgp2AyOYJ8cDHPkVl&index=52

Hiatus to Healing		6/30/2020 - Dr. Nika Gueci and Tiara CashIntentional pauses and rest periods can be restorative and resilience-building. Of course, periods of hiatus can also be full of distraction, anxiety, and sometimes unhealthy or unwanted coping habits to deal with the stress. These seemingly empty spaces of hiatus can leave us feeling vulnerable, however, resilience can be built. Perception plays a role in how one responds. Whether an event or a series of events is framed as traumatic or framed with optimism, that can determine the way we process and heal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9D80YJFyeo&list=PLNrrxHpJhC8mQ9ASLgp2AyOYJ8cDHPkVl&index=17
