Mindfully Begin 2023 (with prizes too!)

January 3, 2023

As we begin a new year amid ever present challenges, it’s a good idea to take time to develop a healthy mindset, along with stress management skills. With this in mind, you’re invited to join dozens of other RRC Polytech students and staff in a 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge.

Can you receive difficult messages with openness? Can you reverse the stress response and calm your nervous system? Are you able to step back from your thoughts and watch them come and go? All of these skills are key to building good mental health and all are part of the Take 5 Daily curriculum.

Take 5 Daily takes just five minutes a day, anytime, anywhere and on any device, yet there is evidence that it lowers stress, increases resilience, improves teamwork, and strengthens leadership skills.

This opportunity teaches ‘mindfulness-in-action’ so people don’t need to stop what they are doing to become calm, present and focused.

Registration

All RRC Polytech students and staff can register for a Mindwell account and then sign up for Take 5 Daily. You can even register a buddy to keep you motivated.

Prize draw

Complete all 30 days of Take 5 Daily and you unlock a certificate that will get you entered into a draw for awesome prizes.

Prizes include:

Simply send your certificate to Kristi before February 28 and you will be entered to win.

Please contact Kristi Dorian with any questions.
