Cultivating Resilience through
​Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Training

​In today's busy rush of life, we can forget to take the time to pay attention
to the things that really matter. Our current ways of working and living have trained our brains to be fragmented and distracted, and this has resulted in decreased happiness, increased illness, and reduced productivity. On top of this habit of mind-lessness, our tendency to criticize ourselves when we struggle and fail increases the likelihood of anxiety, depression, and burnout. All of this has made it increasingly difficult ​to thrive.

Fortunately, there is another way.
And you don't need bells, incense, or to sit like a pretzel.

Mindfulness, the practice of being aware of what is happening right now, in this moment, and exploring that awareness with a curious and non-judgmental attitude, is a skill that can be learned. Neuroscience and research are increasingly showing that learning and practicing mindfulness helps us to change old habits, opening the door to new possibilities.  

Self-compassion is the act of bringing kindness to ourselves when we encounter difficult times, in effect becoming our own supportive coach. Research is demonstrating that those of us who are more self-compassionate actually have increased motivation, improved resilience, and decreased burnout.

Why Mindfulness & Self-Compassion?

Health & Wellbeing

The simple practice of mindfulness helps us to become aware of stress before it becomes a serious problem.
​
Being mindful helps us to change our autopilot & habitual patterns of reactivity that lead to illness and learning new ways of relating to stress can help us respond differently.

Research has begun to explain the hows and whys, but the health benefits of mindfulness practice are undeniable. 

​And self-compassion helps us to put ourselves on the priority list, remembering that we too deserve kindness and care, even when we screw up royally!
Focus, Clarity, & Productivity
At work and in life, the capacity to sustain attention is critically important to being effective and productive. Seeing the reality of what is present is necessary for optimal performance.

With mindfulness, perspectives are widened and calmed, rather than being narrowed and frantic, and much like "mental hygiene", mindfulness clears out the clutter so that the day can be managed with more efficiency, clarity and creativity. ​ 

​​Self-compassion offers us the benefits of a 24/7 internal motivational coach, supporting and encouraging us through the many challenges and setbacks we encounter in life.

Happiness & Resilience

Mindfulness helps us to shift our perspective on challenges,
allowing us to see them more as opportunity than as threat. 

Remembering that everything in life changes and being able to
offer ourselves kindness in moments of stress and challenge
allow us to bounce back from setbacks more quickly.

​And becoming more aware of the pleasures in life
allows us to savor them and appreciate the good stuff  
about being human and alive.
