Me Time – Finding Steadiness in Times of Turbulence
Facilitated by: Dr. Ellen Choi, TMU| Audience: All Staff
March 2, 2023 (Thursday) – 1-2 PM ET, 10-11 AM PT, 12-1 PM CT, 2-3 PM AT
Many of us are moving through life’s busyness so fixated on what we need to accomplish or
what we can’t control that we exist in a perpetual state of frantic chaos. In this state, our mind is
disconnected from our bodies and we are at the whim of the emotions moving through us.
Finding steadiness or inner peace is less about being blissfully calm and more about having the
power to manage our energy, choose what we focus on, and allow our feelings to exist without
controlling our behaviour. This session examines how mindfulness practices can help us
experience emotions in our body and manage our negative and limiting thoughts in order to
experience the moments of our work and life with greater receptivity.
