Good Morning!
Thank you to all who attended last night's meeting of the group on the topic of perception and how we can reduce stress by changing our perception of events or information. If you were unable to join us please find two files attached. One is the handout from the session that includes two perception activities. I invite you to try the two activities before opening the second file entitled "Perception Solutions to MBRS Session #3"
MSBR Session 3 PDFOur mindfulness practice this week is to continue to take 5 mindful breaths each morning and evening but add a smile to your face as you take those breaths.
Have a great week!
My best,

Good Snowy Morning Everyone!
Here is the handout from last night with the link to the poetry book that I spoke about and shared a poem from.
