Press release from Shawnta Jackson: March 28, 2022 Shawnta Jackson presents The Benefits of Gratitude & Positive Affirmations, taking place at Maryland City at Russett Library on Sunday, April 3, featuring a discussion-based learning workshop. Shawnta Jackson, the author of The Journal of a Woman with Lived Experiences and The Resilience of a Woman is proud to bring this much needed workshop to the surrounding community of Anne Arundel County's Maryland City for the first time. The purpose of this discussion-based learning workshop is to increase attendees' understanding of the benefits of gratitude and positive affirmations and how they can impact our spiritual and mental well-being. This increased understanding will help participants to make sense of how their spiritual and mental well-being impacts the other areas of their lives which are not independent of each other. By the end of of this workshop, attendees will: Learn the different names used for positive affirmations and identify examples of affirmative prayers; Be able to explain at least two of the seven scientifically proven benefits of gratitude; Become familiar with the framework of the eight dimensions of wellness and recognize that all areas of our lives are not independent of each other; and Have an increased understanding of the benefits of journaling. Why is this workshop important and relevant? According to research conducted by Samueli Integrative Health Programs in 2020, 80% of surveyed participants intended to be more mindful about regular self-care practices after the pandemic. 46% reported struggling to find ways to maintain their physical, mental and spiritual health during the pandemic.
