Mindfulness training (course)

Learning outcomes

Mindfulness training can offer you a way of relating differently with what you struggle with, it offers tools that help:

• dealing with stress
• reduce negative thinking
• improve your focus, concentration and thinking skills
• To manage low mood/depression and reduce anxiety
• learning a more accepting and compassionate way to look at your thoughts and feelings.

Programme

During the two hours of training each week different subjects will be addressed. We will practise focusing our attention, and discuss with each other how to put this in practice in daily life.  Because mindfulness is a skill, exercising at home is an important part of the training. Learning a new skill takes time and effort. For a good result practising every day is important.
