COVID-19 and the resulting implications have thrust us into challenging and uncertain times. Have you found yourself soothing with food, panic buying, calming with alcohol, binge watching the news or Netflix? We can’t control what is happening around us but we can choose our response so we feel some control over what is happening within us. In this session you will explore how uncertainty is impacting your thoughts and behaviours.

The Student Wellness Education and Promotion Centre will be offering a virtual lunchtime walking group on a drop-in basis through the summer. 

What leads people to be successful? Is it intellectual ability, hard work, or talent? According to world-renowned author and professor Carol Dweck, it has more to do with an individual’s mindset or beliefs about themselves. Individuals who believe that intelligence and ability is fixed tend to focus on proving themselves and will go to great lengths to avoid appearing unintelligent, which can prevent them from becoming successful and adapting to change. With the discovery of neuroplasticity, we know it is possible to change your mindset. Which mindset have you adopted in recent months?

Research shows that individuals can improve how well they adapt to challenges and adversity. This session will help break negative thought patterns and offer healthier ways of thinking and behaving. Participants will be introduced to a variety of effective, practical tools to improve physical health, respect mental/emotional health and cultivate a strong social support network.  Facilitator: Homewood Health
