Expanding the Window of Tolerance: How to Respond Instead of React
June 5th 7:00-8:00pm
The window of tolerance refers to an optimal zone of function in which people can respond to stressors with emotional flexibility and clarity rather than reacting impulsively or habitually. When we are within our window of tolerance, we are better able to learn, connect with others, think clearly and creatively, and act according to our values.
In this presentation, we will delve deeper into…
What the window of tolerance is
How it is developed and shaped throughout our lives
How the window of tolerance impacts daily living
Tools for broadening the window of tolerance and developing a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-control.
Everyone is welcome, and we look forward to having you join us!

Sometimes Getting There Faster Means Slowing Down
new date! July 10 7:00-8:00pm
Today, we are often thrown into the race of daily life, constantly competing and rushing to accomplish our goals. Amid this continual rush, we can sometimes forget ourselves and our needs. We often forget the importance of slowing down and the calm and balance that this can restore to our lives.
In the webinar, you will learn:
A better understanding of self-care and what this term means
The variety of ways in which self can be applied within life
How to pick up and notice signs from your body that it’s time to slow down
Various simple and small strategies and techniques to assist you in slowing down
Most of all, how to take care of yourself throughout the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
The hope for this webinar is that, by listening to and asking questions about the information presented, you will feel empowered and confident in how self-care can be applied in your life. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness or self-care, and hopefully, this will spark inspiration and curiosity as to what may fit within your life and lifestyle.
