Unleashing the power of the mind to overcome lockdown stress
Description
With the COVID-19 lockdown extended through August, many causes of stress and anxiety in our lives right now are beyond our control.
But there is a tool within your control that anyone can harness: mindfulness meditation.
David Johnson introduced the practice to Western Sydney Local Health District staff last year to help manage the additional stress of COVID-19, and he continues his twice-daily sessions for staff online.
In this episode David introduces the concept and takes us through a 15-minute mindfulness meditation session.
WSLHD provides many initiatives to support staff wellbeing including wellness information hubs, manager and team wellness sessions, and counselling through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
