    Managing Difficult Emotions at Work

    12:00pm to 1:00pm

    Location: 

    Online

    Resisting or suppressing difficult emotions does not make them go away—instead, it can lead to increased stress, decreased focus, and the unmistakable feeling of overwhelm. Mindfulness, on the other hand, offers us the ability to recognize and understand our own moods and tendencies. In doing so, we recognize complex emotional states and challenging thoughts when they arise, which helps us to engage with them before they gather too much momentum. This specialized quality of awareness prepares one to move through the world feeling empowered to make wise choices in every situation.
