Learn to relax, be mindful, breathe, or meditate in a calm quiet space at the Employee Assistance Program.
We invite faculty and staff to schedule time to enjoy a space that will help you find your calm in the middle of your busy lifestyles. We have created a room that can be utilized at the EAP or to help you learn how to create this space at home. Guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, voice prompted meditation, breathing exercises, aroma therapy, and other relaxation strategies is offered.
These practices will help:
- Build skills to manage stress
- Increase self-awareness
- Focus on the present
- Reduce negative emotion
- Increase patience and tolerance
Try at least three 15-minute sessions to learn a variety of skills. 15-minute sessions can be scheduled as part of a talk therapy session or separately to learn the relaxation strategies. Set up an appointment by calling EAP at 402.472.3107 or email at eap@unl.edu.
