Mind Over Natter: Mindfulness for Sceptics: An Introduction

“Mindfulness” has become one of those buzzwords. It pops up everywhere, in the media, schools and workplaces. But what actually is it and can it really help alleviate anxiety, stress and depression? Sign up for Mind Over Natter to find out.

Mindfulness, the practice of focusing on your breath and being ‘in the moment’, has seen a surge in popularity. There is evidence from neuroscientists and psychologists to suggest that mindfulness can be used to help with anxiety, stress, depression and chronic pain.

However, the hype that surrounds mindfulness, and the idea of just ‘being present’ can sometimes feel intimidating: With so many apps, courses and books on mindfulness where do you start if you want to give it a go? Well, you could join Wellbeing Consultant, Kathy O’Connor, for Mind Over Natter on Wednesday 12 May. In her interactive session Kathy will introduce us to mindfulness and demonstrate how we can all fit it into our busy lives.
