Mindfulness
My definition of Mindfulness
What is Mindfulness? Well, for me and my clients Mindfulness is the ideal way to give yourself head space, time to think and time to look after your emotional well-being. To buy food, pay the mortgage or go on holiday we need a healthy bank account. In the same way we need an emotional bank balance. If our emotional bank account is empty then we find it difficult to deal with tough challenges - we get overwhelmed and feel out of control. What you learn from regular Mindfulness practice is that your emotional bank balance builds up - so that when you are hit with those tough challenges, you are more stable and able to deal with them.
My view of why Mindfulness is important
Why is Mindfulness important? Our busy, full lives leave us little time or space to think - no wonder we are often anxious, under stress, tired – angry even. For most clients I see it’s about the need to be in the present, to stop feeling overwhelmed and to remain in control even when the outside world is in chaos. I share Mindfulness as an ART:
A - Awareness of what you hold
R – Realisation of what that’s doing to you
T – Transformation through techniques and practice.
What I need from my Mindfulness clients
To realise the benefits of Mindfulness I will ask you to STOP. This is the best way to get the most from your sessions. The aim being to start with 5 minutes of Mindfulness every day, five separate minutes a day. Yes, the 5 a day challenge – are you up for it?!
Lead Your Life Mindfulness Courses
I work individually with clients, with private groups and I also run sessions and courses in the workplace.
