Mindfulness and self-care are well-intentioned buzz terms, but, how often do we really have the time or extra energy to follow through with them? Learn some ‘Mental Maintenance’ tips and tricks on next week’s NCompass Live webinar on Wednesday, June 9 at 10am CT.
Now more than ever, keeping your emotional well-being afloat can mean the difference between surviving and thriving, and not just at work. Drawing from various sources and personal experiences, including both successes and failures, discover how one hot-headed and persnickety librarian found a slice of inner peace (and can even sleep at night). Ideas and examples for self-care and stress management will be given. Handouts will include an extensive bibliography. This session asks tough questions and addresses the stress in our lives; however, it is not intended to replace professional care and/or advice.
Presenter: Jeremy Bolom, Assistant Director/Head of Public Service, Lincoln Parish Library (LA).
