CONNECT@ADVANCE Webinar in cooperation with EY
Excerpts from the webinar of May 8, 2020
Mindfulness is a skill enabling us to be more in the now and focus on what is important in unpredictable times. In addition, practicing Mindfulness has a short- and long-term impact. Short-term, it has a calming effect and long term it increases resilience. Lastly, Mindfulness teaches us self-care for us to be able to care for others.
In this session we learned what Mindfulness is about and how it works, we found out about formal and informal Mindfulness practices and we got an understanding of the benefits of Mindfulness. At the end we also practiced Mindfulness!
According to Beatrice Sidler there is no difference between Mindfulness and Meditation. Whatever you choose to call this way of calming the nervous system down and building the capacity to ‘be’ in the present moment and stay centered, it is the result that counts.
