Montgomery, Ala. – Sept. 18, 2020 – Good mental health is important for anyone. College students face struggles that can cause stress, depression and anxiety. Between a changing school culture, work concerns and a change in social structure, it can be difficult for a college student to keep with everything. When it comes to keeping your mind healthy, it can be hard to know where to start.
Auburn University at Montgomery students have the opportunity to learn about mindfulness as a therapeutic coping skill. The Untangle Your Noodle Through Practicing Mindfulness takes place on Tuesdays at 3:30 p.m., via Zoom. Mindfulness is a technique that encourages letting go of mental stress and focusing on current sensations. Sensations like thoughts, feelings and physical impressions. Mindfulness allows for acceptance of these sensations in the moment.
This reoccurring zoom session will focus on helping students “untangle their noodle”. Relax their minds and help them learn how to manage thoughts and feelings. These meetings help to teach students how to practice mindfulness, what techniques to use and how beneficial it can be.
This on-going meeting takes place every Tuesday during the month of September and on October 6. If interested in attending via Zoom, please contact the AUM Counseling and Health Promotion Services at (334) 244-3469 or counselingcenter@aum.edu.
