Mindfulness is about consciously and deliberately directing our attention, in the moment and without judging what we are experiencing. The aim of this course is to learn to live in the here and now, focus more on what is going on in the moment and not dwell on what happened in the past or worry about the future. When practicing mindfulness, you will increase your attention span and your ability to concentrate on what is important to you. It will also help you cope with stress in a more helpful way. When participating in this course you will practice formal and informal mindfulness exercises both in class and between classes. You will develop new skills and cherish the tools you learn from this course your whole life.

The course will start on 4 February 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm. Two more sessions on 11 February and 18 February 4:00-5:30 pm. You need to be able to attend all three sessions.

Register before 31 January by sending us an e-mail: studenthealthcare@ju.se

Victoria Wendel, counsellor and CBT-therapist is the instructor for this course.
