January 2021 Alzheimer's Awareness Month

Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021, from 6 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Mindfulness is a skill that assists us in becoming aware of the present moment by experiencing the world through our senses. Being consciously aware of our thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations renders us more capable of making informed choices.

Mindfulness practice helps us become more conscious about where our attention is and how we can deliberately change our focus. By practicing mindfulness, we are gaining the ability to respond to challenging situations rather than reacting automatically and falling into past, mental ruts.
