Mindfulness: Weeks 5-6 of Your 8-Week Plan

by Michael Chaskalson

Overview

Available as a four fortnightly mini-programs or a full length e-book, this revolutionary 8-week Mindfulness program gives you the mental flexibility to manage your emotions, implementing cognitive therapy strategies to lower stress levels, anxiety and mental pressures, and achieve perfect balance.

Weeks 5-6 look at letting things be. Unpleasant and unwanted experiences are an inevitable part of life. It is important to treat yourself with kindness and learn how to cope with the difficulties, irritations and obstructions that occur daily.

Recognising thoughts and emotions as mental events to make sense of is an important step forward. Our moods and feelings colour our thoughts, and in weeks 5-6 you will learn 3 key strategies for dealing with distress.

Made up of a hybrid of the two most popular approaches to Mindfulness currently sweeping the world, Mindfulness: Weeks 1-2 helps establish crucial life skills, such as learning to control behavior and regulate the body’s natural processes with meditation, while also enhancing emotional intelligence, proven to be associated with efficiency, good social skills and an increase in self awareness.

Start the journey today. Strengthen relationships with friends and family, reach your full personal and academic potential and detox, de-stress and de-clutter your mind with Weeks 1-2 of Mindfulness in Eight Weeks.
