The Center for Investigating Healthy Minds

A UW-Madison Collaborative Workshop: Living Fully

What if you found out you only had one year left to live? How would your perspective change? And what would you begin to value? Perhaps you’d look for ways to laugh more, have fun and just be present in the moment. And yet, for most of us, our daily reality is focused on working harder and balancing more, constantly challenging our ability to pause and enjoy life. Our minds are becoming accustomed to thinking ahead and losing track of the moment. By participating in the Living Fully workshop, you can

• Understand what it means to be present for yourself and for others
• Transform the relationship you have with stress
• Collectively provide ideas for how online applications might enhance your ability to enjoy the present moment.

You take away:

• A clearer understanding of how the mind works
• Techniques to better recognize, relate to and work through your stress
• Effective practices to help you balance thinking ahead with appreciating the moment
• A reflective and nurturing opportunity for yourself
