Mindful Self Care will help you develop a positive growth mindset that will propel you toward meeting the goals you have set and make those goals more attainable. It will help you to stay motivated and engaged in a mind and body practice through daily affirmations, gratitude, self compassion and healthy self appraisals. You will also learn about how rituals, mindfulness, and coping strategies and skills can build self efficacy beliefs. This course is about making changes in your life to embrace mindful living, and to help you make progress toward reaching your goals. It is both focused on strategies and practices. This course will be a safe place to talk about your challenges and to share (if you desire) your goals for mindful self care. It is open to all. (1 hour twice weekly.)
