Majority of people are very busy such that they never pay attention to their surroundings. However, this is dangerous, as it prevents us from being more calm - both in terms of relaxing our body, but also quieting the internal chatter in our minds.
In this course, you are going to learn more about the fundamentals of mindfulness and its components. You will learn how mindfulness is different from meditation. All of these contribute to being more present and aware in everyday life, which has multiple beneficial consequences:
- Being less stressed and more relaxed;
- Being in better health (breathing better and being less tense);
- Being less negative and judgmental (both about events and yourself);
This course will be especially helpful to you if:
- You frequently judge yourself or don't accept certain parts of yourself;
- You still ruminate on past events and are not able to gain closure on them;
- You are frequently stressed with situations;
- You feel like you are not "present", living in a world full of distractions and escapes;
This short course will tell you both about the major concepts of mindfulness, as well as some practical tools to help cultivate it. By the time you're done, you will be able to cultivate a calmer, more aware, more relaxed presence.
Who this course is for:
You're anyone seeking ways to calm down the internal chatter or take some of the pressure/stress off of yourself
You're anyone looking to better deal with stress and the preoccupations of everyday life
You're anyone who is curious about how to be more aware and mindful of your internal mental processes
