Procrastination: Club Manana
Starts January 17th, Tuesdays
Everyone procrastinates. And why not - it's very rewarding! However, the costs can soon outweigh the benefits. Procrastination can become a self-defeating strategy for coping with academic distress. If you seek effective strategies for managing procrastination & other forms of avoidance then this group is for you! Procrastinators: Club Mañana is an open group you can join any time. Come as often as you like. There's no initiation fee, no contract, no commitment, (if only wireless communication were this simple!). |

Just for the Laugh of it: Laughter Yoga
Starts January 9th, Mondays
| Join us for 1 hour to work your laughter muscles. Take the old proverb “laughter is the best medicine” and learn how to laugh for no reason. We will practice a series of breathing and movement exercises designed to stimulate laughter and cultivate an “inner spirit of joy”, the ability to laugh spontaneously, take ourselves and others less seriously, and view our surroundings in a more positive light.
Laugh as you have never laughed before and feel refreshed, invigorated, and relaxed. All sessions are free. Register at any time! |
