Monthly mindfulness: What’s coming in January
Step into the New Year with intention! Leverage the power of mindfulness tools to develop lasting, healthy habits and lead a more balanced and vibrant life. Check out eM Life’s live program lineup for January, covering everything from managing stress to overcoming addictive behaviors.
QuitSmart™ Mindfully – January 8
If you’re having a difficult time walking away from tobacco use, you are not alone. QuitSmart™ Mindfully will help you build strategies to cope with cravings and address the emotions behind the addiction that keep you feeling stuck. Join us for this 10-session live program taught by expert mindfulness teacher Cindy Gittleman, which includes free nicotine replacement therapy (choose between gum or patches).
Weight Balance for Life – January 9
When you maintain a healthy weight, your heart health also benefits. Through this program, you will use mindfulness to increase awareness of emotions and habits associated with eating to help you achieve or maintain your weight goals. This 20-session program is taught by expert mindfulness teacher Jim Austin.
Breaking Free from Bad Habits – January 9 and January 31
Over time we develop ‘bad habits’ to get away from stress. These are habits that take us further away from what’s most important and while they may have a short-term benefit, eventually lead to greater stress. Bad habits often spring from an avoidance of what’s difficult. Freedom from these bad habits involves greater understanding of the cravings and urges that are associated with them. In this webinar we’ll learn to relate to this discomfort with a different quality of awareness, making a radical shift to ‘allowing’ and ‘letting be’. Join us for this 60-minute live session taught by expert mindfulness teachers Cindy Gittleman and Elisha Goldstein.
Skills to Thrive in Anxious Times – January 11
Change and uncertainty contribute to added stress and anxiety for many. This series of six, 60-minute, expert-led, interactive sessions taught by expert mindfulness teacher Roger Nolan will help you develop the skills to overcome the habitual patterns of thoughts and feelings that get in the way of your day-to-day success and fulfillment at work.

Managing shifting priorities in a constantly changing work environment is a common challenge facing leaders in the workplace.

Mindfulness at Work™: Stress Reduction – January 16
Life comes at us fast, and sometimes hard, and stress affects us all. It’s how we deal with life’s challenges that determines our quality of life.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Training (MBCT) – January 29
When we are presented with difficult situations or have difficult thoughts, they can spiral into a dark cloud impacting our everyday life.
