The 2nd Quarter Community Outreach program was focused on the MSM “Community”. As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, it was decided that we wanted to use this month to remind our employees of the importance of taking a “moment” each day for a mental escape from daily stress.
A relaxing image was sent out daily with a mindful quote. This form of mindfulness meditation activates the parasympathetic system, which helps relax and quiet the areas of the brain that are involved in fear and anxiety.
Simply looking at photographs of nature for as few as 5-minutes has been shown to have a measured calming effect on the brain. Throughout the month the MSM employees looked forward to their 5 minutes of MSM Mediation Moments.
