Kings County Hospital: Mindfulness & Stress Reduction Workshop
Location:
451 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203 (C-building 4th Floor-Red Door)
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through focused breathing. Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them without believing, for instance, that there’s a “right” or “wrong” way to think or feel in a given moment. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. Participants will also learn how mindfulness can help reduce stress.
