Knox County, MO – Community members may enroll starting today in Taking Care of You, a University of Missouri Extension program that offers practical strategies for dealing with stress and life challenges.
Developed by an interdisciplinary MU Extension team, the research-based program focuses on positive psychology and mindfulness in sessions held over eight weeks. Participants learn concepts and practical strategies they can incorporate into their everyday lives through small group discussion, self-reflection and group activities. The program teaches ways to:
Take better care of body, mind and spirit health
Become more aware of the mind-body connection, and how to use this awareness for better health
Respond rather than react to life’s stressors
Discover opportunities in life’s challenges
Develop habits that can lead to better health
Find ways to bring more joy into life
Simplify life
Live more in the moment
