Mindfulness for stress and resilience - taster session

The frantic nature of 21st century living can wear you out or make you over-react. What if there was a way to take control?

Mindfulness is another word for attention. When you cultivate awareness, you create a direct, intuitive knowing of what you are doing while you are doing it. And when you do that, it frees your mind from burden. You live a happier life.

Wouldn’t you like to pay more attention to your thoughts and emotions, focus your attention, trust your intuition, suppress knee-jerk reactions and be more flexible in your thinking? You can do all this and more when you practise mindfulness.

Research has proven that mindfulness can:

• calm the mind and develop clarity of thought
• enhance wellbeing
• boost working memory
• help manage emotions better
• increase awareness
• improve cognitive flexibility and creativity
• enrich relationships
• reduce stress-related illnesses
• increase kindness to self and others
• enhance performance
• create a calm environment.

All for as little as 10-20 minutes practice per day. Mindfulness is a powerful way to invest in yourself and the community at large.
