Conference Presentations:
Strengthening Colorado Families & Communities Conference - September 4-6. 2024
Everyday Mindfulness
As professionals juggling work and family responsibilities, it's common to accumulate stress and tension throughout the day, leading to feelings of exhaustion and overwhelm. As stress and exhaustion build, it can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction with our work. Often it isn’t the work itself that overwhelms us, but the weight of the chronic stress that we carry, our human tendency to focus on the negative, and the disconnection we feel from our bodies. Intentionally incorporating brief moments of mindfulness into our daily routine enables us to release stress and tension throughout our day instead of allowing it to accumulate.
