Create Your Calm Program

Create Your Calm is a two-week schedule of mindfulness, breathing, and meditation-style classes. The program is designed to help you to pause, breathe, and create calm. All classes in the Create Your Calm program are under 30 minutes in length, and no equipment is necessary.

Classes in this program introduce you to meditation and mindfulness techniques, encourage the practice of gratitude, and aim to help you focus your thoughts and energy on the present moment, all while achieving a sense of calm and reducing stress.

The program begins with Intro to Meditation where Wellbeats instructor Nicole L. guides you through the benefits of mindfulness, how to practice it, and shares ways to incorporate meditation throughout your day. Throughout the program, you’ll have more opportunities to engage in mindfulness practice through classes like Finding Stillness and Gratitude Meditation. You’ll incorporate breath in Mindful Breathing and Mindful Breath Meditation and incorporate your body in Body Scan Meditation and Sukham Mudra.

One-Minute Mindfulness Practice

If you’re short on time or space, engage your five senses to become more present and mindful, even for just one minute at a time.

  • See: Find something to gaze at. Take in what you see as if you’re seeing it for the first time. Notice the colors, patterns, and objects around you.
  • Smell: Notice if you smell anything. Maybe you can recall the memory of a smell.
  • Taste: Draw your awareness to your taste. Swallow and notice the sensation of taste on your tastebuds.
  • Touch: Bring in your sense of touch. Feel temperatures. Notice the texture of your clothing against your skin.
  • Hear: Focus on any sounds you can hear in the space you’re in. Listen for the sound of your breath. Hear your inhales and exhales.

Use this simple practice at work or at home anytime you need a quick mindfulness check-in.
