Boston University Health Promotion Series

Description: Life is full of challenges. While we often have no choice over which challenges we encounter, we do have some control over how we respond. This presentation will focus on cultivating resilience — the ability to cope effectively with crises and bounce back quickly from setbacks. Many factors contribute to resilience, some of which can be learned and developed. Mindfulness practices help us observe rather than react to upsetting events and negative feelings, facilitating our responding with greater wisdom and effectiveness.
What You Will Learn:
- How to explore the sources of your own resilience
- About the use of mindfulness in cultivating resilience
- How to practice several mindfulness approaches
This presentation is open to all Boston University employees. Lunch will be served.
