About Be Well Wednesdays: Wednesdays at 12:10-1:00 pm Pacific/3:10-4:00 pm Eastern. Drop in for any session. Stay for all or part of the session. Always free. BWW is an ongoing series of drop in sessions to support your well-being. Each session includes an experiential practice (meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, journaling, etc.) and/or facilitated discussion about sustaining well-being in public defense. Sometimes there is an introductory overview but these sessions focus more on participatory experience and less on presentation.
Do I need to register for each session I want to attend? No! To attend future BWW meetups and receive schedule updates, announcements, and shared materials, please send a blank email to BeWellWednesdays+subscribe@NAPD.groups.io . The list will not send abundant emails, just a weekly link/reminder and occasionally session materials.
About This Week:
Turning Around Self Talk with Brent Getty
It is never good when the inner critic shows up and won't stop talking. In this session, we will look at self-talk: what it is; why it matters; and how we can turn it around.

FEEDBACK from BWW participants
-Thanks for providing this well needed break during our busy virtual weeks.
-I have been loving these weekly be well Wednesday sessions, especially the breath and mindfulness exercises!
-Thank you so much for presenting this. It is so needed. I hit a wall and didn’t even know I was headed for it. I have been recommending it to my colleagues.
-I just wanted to express my thanks for these gatherings. I attended my first this past Wednesday, on the topic of Emotional Intelligence. I got a lot out of it, and thoroughly enjoyed the writing questions and sharing.
-I’m always surprised by how much I get out of the self-reflection sessions, like today’s with Caitlin, or last week’s with John.
-I am very grateful to have Zoomed in today and found Tonglen with you.
