Martial Arts for the Mind - Stress & Resilience Skills
Gain clarity of mind and an increased capacity to meet and overcome life's challenges.
This training provides both physical and cognitive techniques to overcome the negative impacts of stress, and to increase our capacity to bounce back from adversity.
Navy Seals use these techniques to calm intense fear before combat. Actors and athletes use them to enhance performance under pressure.
You spend a lot of your time actually doing research, but the time comes when you need to write it up and get it published. In this session, several approaches to making this task efficient, effective, and enjoyable, will be discussed.
Guest Speaker(s): Zandra L. Jordan, Director, Hume Center for Writing & Speaking and Robyn Lockwood, Lecturer, Language Center
