Presented by the Employee Assistance and Counseling Center in the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning for UAB faculty by Alesia Adams, MS, LPC

Description:  In the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life, many of us struggle with being fully present – we are thinking ahead or looking back and often miss what is happening right now. This often leads to more stress and anxiety and can feel like an unbreakable cycle.  In this one-hour seminar, participants will explore how mindfulness practices can help break this cycle and lead to reduced stress and other benefits. Participants will learn about different types of mindfulness practices and create a personal plan for building mindfulness into their daily lives.

Objectives:

• Define mindfulness
• Discuss the benefits of mindfulness
• Explore different mindfulness practices
• Create a plan for building mindfulness into daily life

Please Note: The UAB Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) presents workshops on teaching practice for UAB faculty (including adjunct instructors), pre-approved graduate students who are currently under contract to teach academic courses at UAB, and teaching staff. Academic advisors and staff who work directly with students are also approved to come to non-teaching focused workshops. CTL workshops are not intended for UAB graduate or undergraduate students.
