What we will discuss...

Everyone can learn something from the techniques that will be shared at the next Healthy Habits meeting with special guest, John Worthington, RN.

Whether the focus is on you, or on those you care for, these techniques can help teach you how to relax and practice conscious daily activity focused symptom control and/or relief.

Participants will learn to keep their consciousness on daily activities that will lead to symptom control and/or relief. This includes instructions on staying focused on when and why symptoms occur, as well as practical steps and simple lifestyle changes shown to help with alleviating symptoms of pain.
 
Participants will get:
  • Hands-on instructions about the basics and finite practices of conscious breathing and relaxation methods
  • Conscious creative visualizations to relieve or control symptoms.
  • Learning self-monitoring skills to use throughout the day

These practices act as biofeedback to teach yourself when symptoms occur and what personally works to relieve-control the symptoms, for improved health, functioning and wellbeing.
