Thoughts have the magnificent capacity to help us imagine, problem-solve, communicate, and connect. However, our thoughts also have the potential to derail us with worries, ruminations, unhelpful narratives, and misconceptions. The ability to work skillfully with your own thinking patterns can make a big difference in how you make choices. In this session you will learn a framework to see thoughts as patterns to better cultivate a sense of agency around them. Learn to step back from thoughts rather than getting caught up in them.Ìý

Compassion is a response that binds us together, making it possible for us to overcome hardships together. In this session, you will gain the insight of self-compassion. Learn to transform how you treat yourself in the face of uncertainty, fear and difficult challenges, so you can be your own inner ally and bounce back with more resilience. With time, self-compassion may just become your go-to recovery strategy. As you treat yourself more compassionately, it can also have a profound ripple effect on those around you, including stakeholders at home and at work.Ìý

The Lubar Entrepreneurship Center is pleased to partner with Susan Lubar and Growing Minds on this project.ÌýÌý

Growing Minds has been a pioneer in Southeastern Wisconsin in the area of mental and emotional health as a teachable skill for overall well-being. Founded with the hypothesis that with two minutes every day, educators, students and others, can learn to manage their nervous system, and then set intentions for who they want to be or grow into. Expanding beyond the moment, the compound value of this daily practice could keep well-being at the forefront of one’s mind and naturally grow calmer and more purposeful teams of people. To meet this end, Growing Minds uses short, research-based practices that train the mind to be more grounded and less reactive. These skills build the foundation for more compassionate relationships where individuals have greater opportunities to thrive, no matter their circumstances.Ìý

Each day, the stress we feel can get the best of us and affect our judgments and ability to think with the clarity needed. Stress can cause us to act and react in ways we otherwise would not. In this session you will gain an understanding of the neuroscience and physiology of your difficult emotions and learn to pivot, leading yourself and others more intentionally. Discover skills like Your Stress Profile and the Three Minute Breathing Space which open the door to approaching your body’s signals as radar. By the end of the session, you will see how to use your stress patterns as a superpower for wellbeing and emotional balance in any setting.Ìý

The first 10 students to arrive at the event will receive a free yoga mat!

Learning how to actively relax is a practice and a skill.ÌýÌý

Explore guided, deep relaxation — a combination of progressive muscle relaxation through gentle movement coordinated with breath, and guided awareness and imagery. This practice is designed to support the body in releasing tension while suspending the mind of thought, judgement and worry, to bring the body and mind to a state of deep rest. Consciousness and awareness are still present, and at some point participants may experience the feeling of being between sleep and wakeful states.Ìý

Benefits may include: the ability to better self-regulate stress, decrease anxiety, improve sleep, and improve overall feelings of physical, mental and emotional well-being.ÌýÌý

Actual guided relaxation practice will last about 20 minutes. No experience necessary. Please bring your own yoga mat.Ìý

Before our time together:Ìý

• To experience the most benefit, please arrive early or on time.Ìý
• Please minimize distractions like your cell phone or computer notifications.Ìý
• Practices can be done sitting in a chair or lying down on the floor with a yoga mat. For extra support and comfort, having a blanket or pillow to place under the head or knees, or over the body will optimize this experience.Ìý
