Controlling Your Responses Under Stress

Instructor: Jackie McNamara

Human Performance & Resiliency Coach

​

Session Length: 30 minutes

​

Course Description: Physiological responses happen when we perceive that we’re under stress or danger, whether it’s real or imagined. The fight or flight response is your body’s
way of protecting you by producing stress hormones, cortisol, and adrenaline so that you can be ready to either fight or run. In this session, learn how to pay attention to your body’s physical reaction in order to maintain control of our outward reaction.

Material Needed: None!

​

Mindful Coloring, Calming Thoughts

Instructor: Maggie Delaney

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

​

Session Length: 30 minutes

​

Course Description: There are many ways to practice mindfulness, and creativity is one of those. During creative thought, the  neurotransmitter norepinephrine is greatly
reduced. Norepinephrine is associated with long-term memory retrieval, so its reduction during creative thinking helps the brain to forget what it already knows. In this way, novel connections and new ideas are more likely to be discovered. For this same reason, when practicing creativity, we are more likely to calm our thoughts and focus on the current moment.

​

Material Needed: Participants should bring their tool of choice (markers, crayons, colored pencils). Download and print the Mandala below before class.
