Adam Reynolds

Jan/22 Fri 12:15PM-01:15PM 50-005

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up

The ups and downs of our fast-paced lives can often leave us in a swirl of tumultuous and muddled emotions. We keep things in check as best we can, but sometimes things accumulate and we find ourselves in an emotional rut. Perhaps we see anger spewing out towards loved ones or we're riddled with anxiety over small things or, worst of all, we're depressed and detached from our feelings. While there are many ways to support our emotional health, small, daily habits of "emotional hygiene" can often go a long way and equip us with the tools to maintain healthy relationships with ourselves and others. This lunch discussion will provide an introduction to emotional hygiene and some practical tips for developing your own emotional hygienic habits.
