Mindful Mondays
Barbara Walker, Ph.D. Integrative Health Performance Psychologist
Mindful Mondays is designed as an opportunity for you to take a pause in your day and practice a guided mindfulness exercise with your work community.
All you need to do is show up, turn your phone off, and be!

Mindfulness Defined: Paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, non-reactively, nonjudgmentally and openheartedly as possible (Jon Kabat-Zinn).

When to Integrate:
• Maintaining internal and external composure – creating space between you and your surroundings (Bubble) • Clearing your head at nighttime • Creating positive energy • Hitting the reset buttons between meetings • During your commute • This training is only as good as you make it for yourself

• We can practice bringing our mindful attention to daily activities that are often performed mindlessly.
• We can pay attention to the movement of the body, and the sights and sounds around us.
• Perhaps pick one of these activities to serve as your “call to mindfulness” during the day:

Key is to practice mindfulness with consistency.
