2022 October Webinar: Optimising Health Through Behaviour Change

Many of us have been told to stop smoking, lose weight, stop taking drugs, exercise more or make another change to improve our health. We might even have been told that if we don’t, we risk seriously damaging our life or even losing our life. However, despite the seriousness of this most of us still really struggle to make these changes. Why is changing these habits so hard and how do we get it right?​

“The specific steps for changing a specific habit differ from person to person and habit to habit, but the steps – the formula – is essentially the same, and once you learn it, you can do amazing things.” ~ Charles Duhigg​

The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought about new levels of uncertainty amidst fear and anxiety globally.

Mindfulness is a practice where we intentionally pay close attention to the present moment in an accepting, non-judgmental way. Research has shown it is also a reliable method for reducing stress and anxiety whilst improving emotional intelligence, including at work.

Most of the time, our minds are wandering —thinking about the future, dwelling on the past, worrying, fantasizing, fretting, or daydreaming. Mindfulness brings us back to the present moment and gives us the tools we need to be less stressed, calmer, and kinder to ourselves and others.

Without rest or restoration our general wellness is quickly eroded. In our modern world we are so often taught to just keep going, and get things done, very few of us are taught how to properly sleep, rest, and restore. This workshop will equip attendees with the information required to maximise the benefits of these three habits in their lives.​
