If you feel yourself dreading the onset of the winter months, you are not alone. As we enter the darkest time of the year, it is not uncommon for people’s moods and energy levels to plummet.
To safeguard against the winter blahs, there are specific tools from positive psychology and the yoga tradition that can help build your resiliency muscle.
Resiliency is our capacity to bounce back from stress and challenging times more efficiently. It is something we can strengthen to feel more deeply resourced, especially in the darkest days.
What you will learn:
- Why fear and anxiety often spike this time of year and how we magnify or exaggerate perceived threats to our own detriment.
- How the pace of modern life fosters an imbalanced nervous system which means we all need tools to self-regulate. Without the tools, we stay in dysregulation!
- How embracing paradox in life (I.e., the fact that life is messy, mysterious, and unpredictable) is key to building resilience.
- The 6 ways to build an unshakeable core of resiliency.
