16.01.2022 Being an introvert, promoting myself isn't my natural style. But there's no point running a useful course if people don't hear about it. So, if you're thinking about doing the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course, but want to know what others think about it, please check out the attached feedback comments. Thanks. Jen

15.01.2022 Our brains are wired to *attend* to the negative and without awareness, we often don't realise it.

14.01.2022 In this article, Janice Marturano provides commonsense and practical information about mindfulness in a work context. She writes about the top two reasons why mindfulness training will make you a better leader. In addition to running the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course, in conjunction with Potential Project, I also run corporate mindfulness training. It's been inspiring to see the change it makes in people's lives. https://www.forbes.com//top-2-reasons-mindfulness-traini/

13.01.2022 This article from https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com//easing-parkinsons-anxiet/ states that "considerable evidence has been published concerning the benefits of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques in chronic pain, fibromyalgia, diabetes, chronic fatigue, psoriasis, arthritis, and individuals with multiple depressive episodes. This research has led to the hypothesis that MBSR may also be helpful for those with Parkinson’s disease." The author suggests that anxi...ety and depression in people with Parkinson's can be eased by including mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork exercises into their routines. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com//easing-parkinsons-anxiet/ . . . . . #Mindfulness #Meditation #MindfulnessBasedStressReduction #MBSR #JennySteadman #BlueMountains #InPersonOrOnline #ImagineLivingACalmerLife

09.01.2022 The American Institute for Stuttering states in this article: "For people who stutter, practicing mindfulness can be transformative, leading to greater awareness of what’s happening in both the body and the mind during a stuttering moment. Mindfulness allows us to pause, to notice our habitual patterns, and to make a choice in how we respond in each communication situation." The article links to four mindfulness meditations that can help people who stutter. The first is a br...eath meditation, the second is a body scan, the third is a self-compassion meditation, and the fourth is the RAIN meditation which is an acronym: Recognizing, Allowing, Investigating, and Nurturing (or non-identifying with) difficult emotions. https://stutteringtreatment.org/mindfulness-for-people-who/ . . . . . #Mindfulness #Meditation #MindfulnessBasedStressReduction #MBSR #JennySteadman #BlueMountains #InPersonOrOnline #ImagineLivingACalmerLife

08.01.2022 A succinct article in Thrive Global on some benefits of practicing mindfulness, particularly in relation to managing stress. Some of the benefits stated include: heightened self-awareness, enhanced concentration on the present rather than dwelling on worries about the future or concerns with the past, less likely to start or entertain unnecessary conflict with others, better able to approach stressful situations with restraint and wisdom, and calming of the amygdala, which i...s in part responsible for our stress response. Mindfulness is not a panacea for all of life's woes, but over the forty plus years that the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program has been running, it has helped thousands and thousands of people to live a happier, calmer, less anxious life.

08.01.2022 Burnout (where at the cellular level, our bodies are literally inflamed) doesn't happen overnight, and is a chronic condition that’s a direct response to our 24/7 always on work cultures. This article talks about how our stress response system evolved to keep us safe, but also how it works today; how our daily stressors are fueling the inflammation. It also has suggestions for how to soothe the stress response system, like picking a keystone habit (which is a change that of...ten triggers other good changes) such as mindfulness, surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and picking yourself up with compassion when you stumble. Interested in how mindfulness can help you manage stress? Open Wisdom runs Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programs.

04.01.2022 We don't intend to, but so often we do!

02.01.2022 From the article: "Often when we’re wide awake worrying, we’re focused on something that’s happening in the future. In those cases, mindfulness can be a powerful antidote as it directs your attention towards what’s happening in the present. You can always focus on your breathing, but it may also be helpful to focus on a physical sensation like how warm and soft your blankets feel. You can also try a body-scan meditation to relax both your body and mind.... Anything that helps you focus your attention on something that’s happening right now, rather than something that might happen in the future --Mindful.org In the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course, we practice the body scan meditation, breathing meditation, and other forms of mindfulness meditation. All of which help to ease the worry about the future. https://www.mindful.org/what-to-do-when-worry-keeps-you-a/ https://www.mindful.org/what-to-do-when-worry-keeps-you-a/ . . . . . #Mindfulness #Meditation #MindfulnessBasedStressReduction #MBSR #JennySteadman #BlueMountains #InPersonOrOnline #ImagineLivingACalmerLife
